I rang my GP to say my Prostate was uncomfortable and was asked to do a blood test. Turns out all they were interested in was my abnormal Glucose and was declared Type II. - BUT - apart from 2 blood tests where in the interim I had dropped from 57 to 55 within a month (as I obviously took sensible measures knowing), I have received just one 15 min phone call from GP and an appointment for the Diabetic eye exam. No follow-up with a Diabetic Nurse or other advice.
So, I am doing my own thing in taking sensible steps; no cakes/sweets/fizzy drinks/white rice etc and half a Setvia tab in Tea, but I have the odd slip - a couple of Rich Tea bics or couple of Liquorice Allsorts now and then. Weight down to under 12st/5'10
But I am anxious to know whether the odd amount of sugar is actually important for the body in general and do sweetners have any adverse effects on your condition?
