[QUOTE="bytorphoto, post: 1135004, member: 292018"] Well, I got called in to my GP last Tuesday after two lots of bloods and a urine test to be told I have type 2. I'd asked for the tests due to my eyesight getting very blurry and losing >20kg in 6 months, along with migraines. Got a meter and I'm testing 3-4 times a day and my BG levels vary from about 15mmol/L before breakfast to 28 before bed. I'm on Gliclazide, 80mg twice per day. I just tested and it came out at 28.3mmol/L. I hit 8.5 a couple of days ago, but that was after not sleeping for two days and hardly eating anything during the 2nd day, along with an hour of physio. I've been a huge sugar addict for over 40 years (I'll be 50 in October) and I'm not looking forward to the sugar withdrawal. I also suffer with osteoarthritis in my joints, depression, anxiety, social phobia, paranoia, general chronic joint and muscle pain, scarring on my Achilles tendon that shows in x-rays (weird, apparently) and a recurring chronic ankle/foot sprain. This is not how I envisioned the year leading up to my 50th. [/QUOTE]
