Hi,
only diagnosed a couple of months back with Type 2. Took me a while to get to grips with the implications and to acquire and learn how to use a glucose monitor. I was quite shocked to receive the diagnosis as I believe I have a close to perfect diet and lifestyle. I prepare all my own food from raw ingredients, and carefully monitor sugar and salt content. I have previously had problems with fructose overload so tend not to eat anything that might resurrect those issues. Bought a kg of raw sugar about four months ago and the bag is still 75% full. Plus I also play golf three times a week walking the course, on average 10kms each round.
I have very little visceral fat and a BMI of 26. Which for a woman in her early seventies I would like to feel is acceptable. I have had slightly elevated blood pressure and my GP prescribed Indapamine. Last week, digging around on the Internet I came across this reference on Drugs.com
Digging further I found the following reference:-
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16801488
The first paragraph of the abstract states:
Have now discontinued the Indapamine and will be happy to post here the results on my readings.

The first paragraph of the abstract states:
National guidelines and a recent clinical trial have supported the use of thiazide diuretics as the preferred initial pharmacological treatment for hypertension. However, evidence from this and other clinical trials have also found an increased incidence of new onset diabetes among those patients receiving thiazide diuretics. The mechanisms responsible for the increased incidence of diabetes with thiazide diuretics have not been fully elucidated.
Have now discontinued the Indapamine and will be happy to post here the results on my readings.
