Hi , i am 44 years old , 24 stone . recently type 2 , on tablets for high blood pressure and diabetes. Like all on here trying the high fat low carbs diet , going well over 1 1/2 stone lighter. My main concerns is chest pain and eyesight. I was sent to the hospital today for stress test , didn't go well , ran out of puff (breath) after 5 mins light headed etc. so didnt show much . My disappointment is more to do with the response , i am over weight i know that been that way for long time . But the only reason given im overweight ... no surprise.. i could of said that before i stood on the treadmill . But no explanation on the chest pain which wasnt there before .... so i am at loss ? do i push for more tests? my blood pressure is now 130/70 was 140/90 before the med's so i think i am doing well and my sugars started 22 now holding nicely at 5.4 to 6.3 ish .. with the occasional spike to 9 .. And was very happy with the weight loss so far. I was only diagnosed in Aug this year . But they showed no interest in that .. and kept asking the next time im at the diabetic nurse to say to them. even though i told them my first visit to diabetic nurse is next week .
So my question (sorry for the moan) , do i say to the diabetic nurse ? or GP to see if they can find cause to the chest pain? is the blood pressure good?
thanks for your forum great source of information
