Hi
I have been type2 for 10 years now and try to follow the advice on here having previously followed my doctors starch diet.I was put on pioglitazone 6months ago having been on the maximum metformin and gliclazide plus felodapine lisinaprol and statins for high bp.On thusday 4/3/2010 i am having an angiogram because of chd.I came off the pioglitazone a month ago(it put 2 stone on me in a month i also had irregular heartbeat and angina.Following the advice on diet from this forum ie low carb blood sugars are much better.Wish I had this information earlier.This is my first post and hope I will be around to post others.Thank you for a great forum .BBigH

Hi hana and thanks for your welcome,Ive had my angiogram now and things are not as bad as first thought (by cardio consultant) I can carry on with Bisiproplol and other drugs instead of urgent bypass surgerey(Phew) for erratic heartbeat and angina.Have been taking notice of comment on this board and have controlled bg and weight better on low carb diet.Will keep in touch now I have a better prognosis for the future so once again thanks to you and others for advice and a feeling of belonging to a community I didnt know existed.
