    Don't know about statins but I slowly withdrew my blood pressure tablets as I progressed. A gamble I know and not one I would recommend unless you are so anti statin. I would seek further advice. In my experience many doctors don't even believe it is possible to reverse diabetes and after all...

    I have a theory on this Carol. I now class myself as normal. It is just that we are so used to seeing people who are over weight many now accept that as the norm. This is the ticking time bomb regarding healthcare cost that we hear so much about. I have little clue how you get to wake people...

    Thank you to everyone who has taken the time and trouble to post a reply. Begins to give me back a feeling of 'belonging' again. In Wales we get the free retinal screening and last week I had the test results back. They said I had changes caused by diabetes in my right eye but didn't need...

    DO OTHER UNDERSTAND YOU?

    Good morning all. I am new here so hello to everyone. I would like to get an understanding of how others are treated by family and friends after they got diagnosed. This happened to me last October (2015) when the doctor said, almost as an after thought following treatment for an ear...
