[QUOTE="Scardoc, post: 616671, member: 44692"] With all due respect, people have tried to offer advice and have offered sympathy but you didn't say in your original post that you blame this damage to your metabolism and that nothing will correct it. If you did then I'm sure there would be no basic science offered up, only sympathy. The OP was on the frustration of T2's not being able to get test strips on the NHS whilst they are offering up gastric bands (I think it's actually a bypass) for obese people in an attempt to reduce the numbers of T2 diabetics. Jim's comment: is one I happen to agree with and, I have typed this in many many threads, there are always exceptions to the rule, people such as yourself but I believe it's the minority. Should the Govt apologise? No. If everyone lived to their recommendations on lifestyle choices then we wouldn't face the problems we do in the UK today. Like you, I have a permanent condition that I didn't want, ask for or bring on myself and taking it out on other people doesn't make it go away. If someone else has found success through Slimming World then, yes, they will want to offer advice. Why **** on their parade or demean their achievement by telling them it will go back on? Does that make you feel better? My only suggestion is that you increase the intensity of your exercise. You walk 5-6K a day but some people walk faster and harder than others. Try introducing some gentle jogging and increasing it over time. [/QUOTE]
