[QUOTE="TuTusweet, post: 1381682, member: 87606"] kittypoker. Quite so. Do you also remember reading in my earlier posts about my slap-dash GP? "Take one tablet a day [makers say 2 a day] and come back and see me in a year" must be a high point in medical history. On the basis of a high A1c reading she went straight to Eucreas with no proper tests at all. It was World Diabetes Week so she was probably keen to get in the raffle for a car for hitting her target of new diagnoses. When I told her I would cure it by diet she scorned and mocked me. "There is no such thing as "diet" just nonsense in newspapers about food" were her encouraging words. So I had to prove the awful woman wrong. I realise, as you hint, that I have probably beaten "pre-diabetes" and not the "real" thing but I still feel good about that. It has not been a walk in the park. And now I face an annoying twist. A new blood pressure tablet (very effective and expensive) has side effects of, inter alia, weight gain, itchy skin, swollen feet and ankles, and blurred vision. An appalling trick played by fate and co-incidence. [/QUOTE]
