Hi
My health is getting progressively worse. Or rather is has been bad and I am just finding out because the GP never gave me the full picture.
Type 2 for 12 years that I know of.
hypothyroidism for 9 years
on insulin (only levemir now) for 7 years
Elevated blood pressure for me (I actually had 90/60 until 6 years ago) but now it’s in a normal range 120/80, this is too high for me.
High cholesterol for ca 3 years now. I don’t know the breakdown, but it is down from 7 to 5.6
Ca. 4 years ago had an ultrasound and the sonographer said my liver is enlarged
I always had Protein in my urine, and an anaesthetist wasn’t too happy but went ahead with my surgery anyway. only just found out my egfr is 40.
Each condition requires a different diet. Cut out carbs, protein, salt, fat and potassium. Am I just left with eating steamed veggies now? I am so lost. I thought I was doing ok with diabetes control, but now what?
Sorry, I just really needed a rant.
Any advice/suggestions would be appropriated.
