[QUOTE="Japes, post: 2076559, member: 277410"] Welcome [USER=507159]@PamJHS[/USER] Yes, it can and does get easier. It's also a marathon, rather than quickly sorted, however much you'd (and I'd've) loved that. Also sounds as if it's been caught early enough for diet to make a difference and if your surgery is encouraging that, it's great. Statins - I've always been borderline for cholesterol and always refused them, so far. There is a lower target for those with diabetes and my GP and I discuss it at every review, having agreed we disagree! Brain/mental fog definitely is part of it, (though I'm great at thinking of loads of reasons why my brain is not functioning well until I see the readings.) There's so much information around it can add to the overwhelm. (Plus, a lot of mis-information.) Originally I concentrated most on cutting carbs, which certainly helped a lot both with blood sugars and initial weight-loss. (There's a longer story, but I won't add to the overload of information.)
