[QUOTE="Macspiffing, post: 2094627, member: 510639"] Hi and thank you for your reply, She wasn't just any nurse either she was a sister in charge of all the nurses, and almost ready for retirement, I had never seen these pen things to prick your finger and I thought at the time it didnt look right to jab with an open needle, when I got home and used it as designed it was 90% less painful and the needle doesn't go deep because of the top cover, maybe it was my initiation:p, the mere suggestion I would reverse this was met very swiftly with a firm tongue, only one locum doctor who I saw once boosted me when he read my readings when I went in for an appointment a few weeks after diagnosis, I had the book at the ready and he said they had come down really good and this was great for me, a qualified doctor to tell me that, he went onto say a doctor friend at the local hospital had reversed his without meds and just changing diet ie losing weight, eating properly, looking back I think he boosted me enough to be able to really go at it, I was determined I would after reading online reversals/cures but his validation of my early readings was just the positive hope/help I needed. Sorry to hear your doctor showed no care or interest and comments like that you do not need, I think my lifestyle was the cause 100%, I could go all day without eating and sit down in the evening with 8 beers sometimes 12 and then eat very late into the night or not at all, I done this for a long time, years. I had no symptoms until around 3 months prior to diagnosis, I had a really dry mouth that I put down to just dehydrated and it'll be fine Ive had it before, but this was different it lasted weeks, and I had thrush for like 6 months or more but I never connected it or told anyone other than my wife about the thrush but looking back it made sense as thrush is a yeast and what does yeasts like sugar, I know that from making bread from yeast and sugar to activate. Thanks very much on the info about glucose testing and about getting a new meter with cheaper test strips, at the moment I get enough to test twice a day but my readings are always low now so I only test 2 hours after dinner every 2 or 3 days and the odd day in the morning to check its still ok but they are coming out so consistent now that I would be happy to leave it and just test on the odd occasion if either its a naughty big dinner or beer or cakes etc. I can eat mostly rice on my plate as I make my own fried rice, I use 150g of cooked rice which is around 200 calories and sometimes I use 200g which is 260 calories and I add chicken, prawns, 1 egg, peas, spring onion. I adjust the other ingredients to however much rice I use so that my dinner comes in at 450 to 500 calories depending how I feel. I have tested myself after all of these meals and it has no ill effect, its like my body has healed and is working properly again and I believe that, I eat regularly now and dont drink beer, I firmly believe that it was my bad lifestyle choices that caused my body to fail.
