[USER=196898]@Oldvatr[/USER]I know this is a boring answer but your heart attacks may be genetic in your case, as of your diabetes too. Have you considered contacting a genuine Gene screening company?Are all the other risk factors for heart attack been eliminated?If insulin resistance your only risk then keep at it. Unfortunately for life and regardless of how many good hba1cs is achieved.I'm wondering in your case if the unnecessary glac tablets could be the cause? A med ingested when the body has no need for it?Although the opposite thought is glac hasn't left your pancreatic cells yet so your still benefiting from it. I believe some drugs can take over a month to be clear in your system. Was both of your heart attacks whilst taking glac?Out of my experience from taking glac it just stopped working on reducing my bgs and I thought due to my body building up a resistance. Like any med but glac I took for years with metformin too. I have mild heart disease/atherosclerosis but it may be worse now due to less walking/running/cycling/swimming and no metformin.I was able at one point to reduce most of my mixed insulin then started with chest pains. I've discovered mainly due to underactive thyroid reacting to low carb diet and bad sleep from low iron and a fraction too much levothyroxine. Never a heart attack but very severe palpitations from fast heart beat. Increased betablocker has helped enormously. I was told being on bisoprolol originally may have prevented an attack. (given decades ago by a fantastic GP) I wish you a peaceful rest and a hugely beneficial op.Pesky IR may be the causation, even in remission, maybe?Please keep posting. I haven't posted much lately myself due to typing difficulties from a trapped nerve in my neck.. too now. I find your posts fascinating and hugely helpful. When is your op? Mine should be July, latest. Of course such different ops but I wish you a speedy recovery and increased activity levels too.</blockquote>
