Thank you for your very honest and frank opinion, though very scary at the same time. Last years hbac1 was just over 8, the higher side of normal I know. I have several other conditions some auto- immune related like diabetes type 1. I am very overweight and like a tipple or two so there are...

No he didn't he seemed mystified!

I've replied before but somehow it didn't save it! I can't afford private health at the moment sadly though if it deteriorates further, I'm sure we could juggle the finances around a bit. Thank you for your advice [emoji1360]

I was a very heavy smoker, this was before I found out I was diabetic. My Dad was diabetic and I know his greatest wish was for me to give up. I did, and I did it cold turkey. I did this 6 months after my Fathers departure from this earth. I suffered horrendous depression and withdrawal on top...
