Initially went to docs looking like quasimodo as a result of bells palsy , he then noticed the fat spots on my eyelids , well doesnt take a rocket scientist to suggest high cholesterol , so I agreed to blood test on the Friday , told to call on the tuesday for results .. no need he called about 8.30 on the Monday morning , asking me to go in straight away , that really put willies up me , cos of the steroids i had for the bells palsy they were trying to be cautious but there was no getting away from it I had joined the T2 club , managed to get from 12.9% in Nov to 6.3% on 1st of March.. was initially started on gliclazide , then told a month later they might try insulin, told nurse she could stuff that , and hd metformin added to my mix , oh and to add insult to injury I had high blood pressure drugs for that too , so now i rattle . Gave up the fags , but vape for england , and am now the proud owner of a bicycle lol
