[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 2106132, member: 101136"] Hi [USER=492004]@IronLioness[/USER] , The experience with my own dad & his T2.. He was probably the same mindset as your father? (Mine never ate junk food.) He was on metformin only. The drug probably got pushed as a "silver bullet" along with a low fat, carb sourced from veg, pasta & bread balanced diet too? (Standard eatwell set up?) Anyhow, he had a stroke... "Mini stroke" he miraculously recovered & went back to work... He was retired in his 70s but didn't like to give up work completely... I should have seen the signs... One morning a number of years ago when I popped round & he was "red lining" the car? He just sat there revving it. When I asked what was wrong, he told me there was something wrong with the clutch.. (My dad was no "boy racer.") I looked the car over, checked the biting point & took the car for a road test... It drove fine.. A couple of weeks or so later, my parents were comming back from a shopping trip. My dad stalled the car at a junction near their home & totally forgot how start the car or even drive... A kind passer by drove them home & my mum called an ambulance. Diagnosis. Vascular dementia... During his illness, we did manage to lower his carb intake in his diet to the point of lowering his A1c & thus getting him off metformin. But alas too late for anything else. I feel uncontrolled diabetes don't help.. [/QUOTE]
