Hi everyone
I was diagnosed before Christmas after bleed behind eye though my eyesight hasnt changed. Since diagnosed (HBA1C 53 cholestrel 8). Am due in clinic again early March and since I have lost a stone and followed lchf diet inspired by you all I am hoping for a better result. Havent got a meter yet but will.
I have been plagued by gout in my ankle and achilles almost continuously. When I dont have it my achilles is swollen and hurts and I limp. What I am wondering is if my achillesis could be damaged by gout or diabetes. Also had distal pancretectomy in 2012 and take Creon with every meal.
What questions do I need to ask at next review. I refused Metformin and statin so far and got raised eyebrows!
Any advice welcome. Thanks.
