[QUOTE="Ladybirdy75, post: 928332, member: 71000"] Thank you. I've done 4 decades of Type 1 and i don't know who posted it earlier in the thread but i fall right in his ..... 2.Eat lots of starchy carbs, keep your HBA1C at 7 or below = you'll escape the first decade or 2 relatively unscathed, however the macrovascular/microvascular damage is being done; the retinopathy, neuropathy, atherosclerosis is nearly knocking at the door..and to top it off u will be middle aged, overweight with Insulin resistance - even if you want to change when problems start occurring it may be too late." Had a heart attack in March and diagnosed with further coronary heart disease, now recently been diagnosed with insulin resistance and after a thyroid function test last week and I've been called in to discuss treatment for an under active thyroid and to top it all off I'm going to have a lump in my breast, which i found last sunday checked next week [emoji30]. Going to stay positive though [emoji106]. I've also had retinopathy in both eyes and have had a vitrectomy on the left and have nephropathy although very thankfully it's stable and a symptomatic. I do try so very hard to stay healthy. I eat as healthily as i can (Mediterranean/slimming world combo but no bread, rice, potato, pasta, baked beans just veg, nuts, oily fish and some low GI fruits) plus i exercise every day. Been working hard to bring my HbA1c levels down. I originally came on here to gen up on T1, breast cancer and managing your levels throughout chemo should the worse happen but found this thread and it lured me in[emoji5]️. You're all so clever, i often feel like i don't have the mental capacity to work this stuff out. Probably why i'm up the swanny desperately trying to keep hold of my paddle. I look as fit as a fiddle though [emoji6] [/QUOTE]
