Hi All.
My name is John from Farnborough, Hampshire, aged 43
I used to be a regualr cyclist in my teens and early 20`s, member of a local cycling club.Regular mile eater and Time Trialist.
one the usual, got mrried , mortgage etc and the cycling stopped.
Just been diagnosed with Diabetes and need to loose 2 stone, so dug out my old Dawes Galaxy and invested in a Turbo Trainer.Had a few short rides out with the wife and we have re discovered our love for 2 wheels.
Great site by the way.

Hi @galaxy and welcome have you been diagnosed type 2 ? if so my good lady was also this and after some very serious weight loss (both of us) she is now considered no longer a diabetic,so I do hope you do the same the bike will help ! along with a sensible diet.Also you will find that if you ask a question you will get answers.

Sorry all, my Diabetes took a turn for the worse and affected my eyes, hence the spelling Mistakes.
Testing my sugar levels before and after exercise. Exercise is deffinatly lowreing my sugar levels.

Going of my wife's experinces whilst cycling we always carried a bottle of coke and some glucose tablets whilst out cycling,these have on more than one occasion saved the day so to speak !

Thanks for all your help Ernie.
Were taking the Caravan to Devon at the weekend, instead of just doing walking were taking the bikes, so happy days.
