    Hi I dont think its very difficult to be a "victim" of this decease - my advice to you is not to eat after 8PM (whats your medication?). If you drink - stick to redwine - its OK - stay away from whisky/coke etc. (or you can drink Vodka soda with a very tiny tip of orange juice to top it up...

    Can Metformin be stopped completely?

    I suggest you to take daily dosis of ALPHA LIPOIC - even if you have swallow problems - I believe its always good to try to see if you can totally come of the meds. I used to be on 12UNITS 24 hour insulin and 3 Gloucophage tablets 500mg per (my readings was then 6.8 average). I have now...

    bad feet

    Hi again Allan The tablets I take against bad feets and hands is METHYCOBAL - it helped me together with getting sugar levels right. You need to do a huge effort to keep your sugar levels low. Even you take a lot of medicine - its not the way to keep sugar low - only life-style change is. No...
