Hi tighthead, That is very informative information that you have sent to me,up to the year 2000 i had been a publican for 20 + years so i have been used to a drink every night,i still love a drink but i have never been told up to now what is moderation,i am 67 years young i do have a hobby [Rc Helicopters] which i enjoy,im afraid a gym is not on for me as i have had trouble with my back over the years with slipped discs.
I have two lovely dogs who are walked every day irespective what the weathers like as i love walking,i think where my problem lies or as done i have a very sweet tooth,and the likes of desserts/puddings/ice cream/ chocolate etc have probably been my down fall over the years,my BMI is 37 i weigh 20st i am 6ft-3ins tall but DONT smoke.
My GP as put me on Metformin 500mg 1 a day but i do like my drink,what baffles me i dont have the diabetes symptons of thirst,lethargic/tiredness etc i feel ok in my self,my GP as orderd me to have a chloestral blood test this tuesday,but one think i have never told my GP in my family there is 5 members who have got or had thyroid problems and i have been told that can be connected to diabetes.
