Message: <blockquote data-quote="Resurgam" data-source="post: 2667693" data-attributes="member: 355878">I am still low carbing 7 years from diagnosis and am firmly in remission - I am 72 years old so I think a bit of leeway is given, but I am just above the normal range of HbA1c.At diagnosis I was prescribed Metformin and Atorvastatin, and it made me so ill I thought I was dying. So ill that I was actually starting to look forward to no further problems.It was quite surprising how easily normal numbers became normal for me, lost weight as well.The AZ covid jab hit me really hard and I had swollen lower legs and feet. I found that a fairly hot shower and massaging my legs and feet to get the blood flowing through my veins, deflated them and stopped them hurting. I seem to be prone to similar problems since then, but the same treatment has continued to work well. When really bad I was taking three showers a day, but it fixed the problems and took away the pain.</blockquote>
