[QUOTE="flashrabbit, post: 322701, member: 50796"] In terms of managing my diabetes after I was diagnosed I have been pretty much left to my own devices. It was pretty a case of "You're diabetic, here's some tablets, read these leaflets & see you in 6 months." I do have an appointment with a diabetic nurse every 12 months as well but again, it's blood tests & no real discussion. I managed to get my BG under control with diet & meds but like you fell off the waggon recently because my normal routines have gone out of the window. I've now adjusted & take regular meds again but I still have a problem with diet due to lack of appetite, although my wife does make sure I get something to eat, even if I don't feel like it. I've also lost a stone in weight recently too, which concerns my wife. Although I have been to the GP several times complaining of severe muscle aches, joint pain & weakness not one doctor has mentioned that the cause might be statins. Although they have suggested that it might be because I'm getting older (I'm 42!) This week I took my mum on a shopping trip & was out of action for two days after because I was so physically exhausted & sore. What's this low carbing that people have mentioned? Could someone post a ink to info please? :thumbup: [/QUOTE]
