I looked into it a few yrs back and saw the surgeon, he said I would better off with the bypass, I went home and forgot about it, as I really wanted to try and lose the weight myself (I had no diagnosis of any type of metabolic problems then apart from hypothyroid) so I left it a few years, now...

Thank you, it was the first night I have checked for myself, as I have just got myself a metre, after seeing my Hb thingy was 41, and just below the pre-diabetes range, not that the GP said anything, just handed me the result. Daytime numbers after meals are 5.8 to 6.7, apart from yoghurt which...
