People who are touchy.......feign indignation at the slightest thing. Hypocrites, bullies and cowards.

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.
