@Courtney_J Hi Courtney, both my husband and I have diabetes, and we were both diagnosed in our early 50's after neglecting our health and diet for many years. We make quite the couple! My husband is a bit more worse off than me because he had some problems with his blood pressure which we think caused his diabetic nephropathy. I also have high blood pressure, but I'm working on lowering it through diet and exercise. It's been hard for us both, especially in lockdown, but we're doing our best! :)

It is the unpredictable swings in my bloods which I find the most frustrating. Eat the same things each day but don't get the same readings. Thankfully I am managing to lose some weight during the pandemic and for that I am thankful

Hello everyone!
We've had quite a few new members since the starting of this discussion, and I'd love for them to join in and tell us more about their experiences!
When did you find out you have type 2 diabetes and how? What signs did you notice before you knew you had it? How long have you been living with it? How are you feeling these days? Do you feel ready to manage your diabetes?

Hello everyone,
How are you today?
I thought I would open this discussion so that we could all get to know one another better!
