Hi
Got a phone call from GP last night to say that I have Type 2 Diabetes,, Currently obese but have been on the keto diet for the last 4 weeks anyway - not aware at that time that I may have diabetes - but very aware that I had put on weight since lockdown. Had been getting very dry mouth and up alot for the loo but didnt for one minute think that I may be diabetic. Came as a complete shock to me. I also am on long term warfarin for blood clots... (10yrs+) and have a prolapsed disc in my lower back that makes moving about quite painful ( I take amytryptiline to conteract and kill the pain receptors in my brain) - my worry is that with this new condition that I am more at risk from a stroke and heart problems... which although already on my radar from the clots are now firmly in the forefront of my mind... Is diet really the best thing to be concentrating on to get my whatever it is lowered from 61 to under 48 and how do I get there if my movement is hampered by my prolapse... I really really dont want "another tablet" adding to the list of the 8 I currently take for life, Can it be done?
