[QUOTE="Arab Horse, post: 2035612, member: 136328"] Sorry you are feeling so low, hopefully you will feel better when you know things are improving. My journey may cheer you up! I was diagnosed quite by chance five years ago at the age of 70. I had gone for my free NHS medical having not seen my Dr for many, many years and was diagnosed as T2. I was not over weight and had no symptoms at all despite having a HbA1C of 10.4 and a fasting glucose of 18.6. I was told I may have been diabetic for up to 10 years and was in danger of a stroke and/or heart attack. I was still working but as I worked in a lab and never had time to stop all day to eat or drink a lot of the time (no eating or drinking in labs) and a long journey to work so often didn't eat from 6.00am until 9 .00pm and then had ready meals or something quick and easy; I knew I had to stop work and completely alter my life. At first I went to the Desmond day and followed their advice with very little progress so, being a biochemist I started to research on line and found Prof Roy Taylor and all the others such as Jason Fung etc. It took me a long time to see much improvement but things did improve and I sort of got my glucose under reasonable control most of the time. I hate the diet I have to eat but need to stick with it. Don't panic as I don't have all the nasty side effect and I am sure you won't either if you are careful. Good luck [/QUOTE]
