Previously I have had liver issues so they said that I have to control my cholesterol with diet as my liver finds it difficult to break down medication like steroids and it has previously caused hospitalisation. However my cholesterol is in the danger zone at 7.6 so it will require hard workI think diabetes especially type 1 gets so confused with type 2 that people don't see the massive difference between the 2! Your right, no one ever says well done, your doing well or your results are good or anything its just the bad points that get focused on unfortunately!!! Your right it is all worth it, although its hard if we don't do it, we wouldn't be here I to put it bluntly!!
I don't think I've got it right but you do learn from things and know to do it differently next times! There's been so many times I've messed it all up and thought right next time I'll do it another way etc!
im like you and get impatient when things don't happen quickly, its like why have I tried so hard and nothings changed or worked But keep trying , eventually your begin to notice things changing!
I'e recently been told ive got high cholesterol and was prescribed the statins but not offered any alternative... how do you treat yours???if you don't mind me asking x
Ive had trouble with my eyes, which I know is from the diabetes and the sugar levels when I couldn't get them below any figures like 17 up to like 24/5 which was my own fault for not trying to see why it wouldn't come down! Touch wood at the moment I don't have anything to be to concerned about hopefully.
nice to talk to you!!! xxxxx
What is your apprehension towards using statins. Are there major side effects? Xx
