During the pre-op check for cataract removal it was found that I had a very high sugar level. Went to my Doctor who send me to hospital.
On 9/02/2015 had an everything relevant check and was declared Diabetic Type 2.
Quite a shock. Only twice in my adult life have I needed a doctor. (Visits to A&E for a stitch in time don't count). At 77 years old and 92 kilos thought I was "living right" although I could have been more active but since the dog died no more running on the beach.
Anyway! Last Monday after 50 days of a "fierce" diet and being more active I went for a further check. I am 15 kilos lighter and no longer Diabetic
My doctor is pleased. However! I still have to continue taking the tablets - Metformina Teva 500mg twice a day. Next week I have to visit the Dietician
After the euphoria it's back to the real world
