[QUOTE="julie42, post: 331732, member: 52760"] My dad's diabetic nurse suggested I do take the tablets but request the slow release as I have had bowel problems since birth. I have an advice call later booked for tea time so we will see. I thought I knew a lot about diabetes until this week. Having sat glued to my ipad I have learnt so much from this site. I always looked at sweet things as a no no for my dad not carbs. Just goes to show how wrong I was. At nearly 80 I will keep my dad as he is but I am prepared to do what it takes to get on the right track. I have an appointment booked to see an eye specialist as I have eye pressure and next week I go back to the GP as I originally went with high blood pressure and breathlessness, at 42 that was strange. I only went for an over 40 health check and was not going to bother. I never thought in a million years I had this, My BMI is 27, a little over but I am not over weight and I thought I ate really well, cook everything from scratch and only drink wine with meals. Oh we'll time to accept it and get a grip. [/QUOTE]
