I often look at all the "Headers" on the opening page and choose information that I think may be of use, but I have yet to see someone who is like me. I have been diagnosed type 2 diabetic for over 4 years. I take 40mg Gliclazade amongst other medication, I drink 2 cans of beer and perhaps occasionally a shot or two every day. I eat anything. I have breakfast which may be a full english or 2 rounds of toast and marmalade plus my evening meal (I must admit that the portions are smaller in the evening).The only thing that I can honestly say effects me is constantly feeling tired. I can get up in the morning have a cup of coffee and go back to sleep or I can sit in the armchair watching TV and I drop off. (because of water retention tablets, I do always have to get up early morning to toilet) I don't suffer with highs or lows, I eat sweets. Oh and I have smoked for the last 50 years and enjoy it. I go to a clinic once a year and they check my sugar levels via a pin prick into a meter. Always they say, this is okay but loose some weight and stop smoking. I don't, but due to other problems it is very hard and a little dangerous for me to exercise. So really what I am saying is my lifestyle in eating and drinking has not changed and no medical person has said don't do this or eat that except for the don't smoke nurses (Who I often see at the rear of the clinic having a fag). AM I UNIQUE ?
