Hi BB,Sorry to be slow in getting back to you but I have a trapped nerve in my shoulder and can't sit on the computer for too long as I am in agony.Just waiting to book up for some Physio to hopefully release it :shock:
I went last Friday to get the results of my HbA1c blood test and to see the Diabetic nurse and she has said that the levels are down to 6.3 through the Metformin and 31lb{I went down to 31lb after posting my other post}weight loss
She said I am a model patient for getting to grips with this diesease and for getting my blood levels down to a good level in such a short space of time,and has told me to go away,enjoy the summer and she doesn't want to see me for six months :lol: As long as I carry on with my Metformin and low fat/Gi diet the nurse said I should be ok for the foreseable future
The nurse said she wished all her patients were like me as a lot of them have just carried on eating the same as before diagnosis,and just think that they can have lots of different drugs to put the problem right....Wrong.I have friends{men} who are type2 who have just buried their heads in the sand hoping the problem will just go away but they don't seem to realise that with the help of their wives and partners to try and get them to eat a sensible diet that they wouldn't now be going blind,having toes amputated :shock: or laser treatment done on their eyes,and these people are not very old people {in their 40's and 50's} so still have lots of life ahead of them
I was quiet depressed when first diagnosed in January of this year and was quiet suicidal at times,but now the results are in I can at least sleep a bit better,but know that I can never ever go back to being a chocoholic or just eating high quantities of carbs without any side effects.
Sorry for the long post,but thanks for reading it
