Hello. I am a type 2 diabetic, diagnosed nearly two years ago. I was diagnosed as a result of numbness in my feet. My glucose levels were high-teens, and I also had very high lipid levels- my cholesterol was 25!! It is hereditary in my case (you couldn't keep up these levels if you tried!). My cholesterol is down to about normal now thanks to tons of statins and omega 3 every day. I cannot however control my glucose- it almost never goes below 10- and I take 4 Metformin 500mg tablets per day. The point is I have sort of given-up caring. I know this is probably stupid but I don't know how else to put it- it is the truth. I always liked to drink- I cut it right down but sod it- I'm not giving it up completely, I do it once a week and I eat fructose chocolate too occasionally. This whole thing makes me so bloody angry, sometimes I just think ****** it, I'm just going to blank it and carry on as if I didn't have it and that is what I have been doing lately. Sorry if that seems negative but I can't see it any other way at the moment. I wish I had the patience and good grace many others here seem to have.
