Diabetes update
Jan. 9th, 2026 03:58 pmI set out to try and gain some weight, as I'd lost somewhere between six and eight kilos over the last few years - which in retrospect was probably Diabetes related. My body is now fairly inefficient at converting food to energy.
So far, I'm just over a kilo up from where I started a bit over a month ago. I hit 50.5 kilos this morning, which is a new record. (there's usually a random wobble of around .3 kg from day to day).
I've done it mainly by eating things between meals and before going to bed. A boiled egg here, a peanut butter sandwich there, a bit of cheese, etc.
So, feeling quite positive about that - I now know that I can do it, and am making slow, steady progress.
I think my energy/braincell levels are up a bit too. I managed to dance the whole of 'Three Point Turn' at morris practice last night - without any mistakes (a first) and still able to stand at the end! (we do go for high-energy morris...)
