Beating diabetes and hypertension!
As my weight and fitness are improving I’ve also seen improvements in my health. Firstly, I went back to my GP last month and had a follow-up blood test for my diabetes. As you may recall when I last posted about this my HbA1c blood test came back with a score of 51 mmol/mol. That’s…

Well on track to conquering diabetes (and hypertension)!
Diabetes UK recommends a weight loss of 15kgs for diagnosed Type 2 Diabetics (T2D) because this can literally reverse the disease effectively putting it into full remission.

Shit got really, really real!
As I mentioned in my last blog post, I just had a worrying diagnosis of type 2 diabetes (T2D). This sparked a real and bigger concern for me, since diabetes is caused by problems with pancreas function, and my dad had died from pancreatic cancer (PC) when he was 53, a year younger than I…

2023 weight loss goal – diabetes remission – this shit suddenly got real!
OK – I’m back, and blogging again as a way to remind me to stay focused. My last blog entry, ironically enough and purely coincidentally, was dated exactly 2 years ago tomorrow, 7th July 2021! At that time I’d yo-yo’d back up and down and then up again a few times after my initial weight…
