[QUOTE="Lolagirl, post: 356496, member: 55373"] Unigirl, you sound exactly like me! I have my BP at 130/78 but its not good enough, I have lost 20lb but its not enough, my cholesterol is 5.8 which is too high. They gave me metformin which didnt agree with me, then SR Metformin which was just as bad. They told me I couldnt possibly control this with diet alone but I mustn't test my blood to check. So I bought a meter, changed my diet and proved them wrong. I have now been told that I have stage 2 kidney disease and got no support. In fact I was told over the phone like they did with the diabetes. The diet and the diagnosis has really got to me over the last few days and I felt so low, I spent sunday crying and sleeping. I realise that if I want to see my son grow up then I must tackle this head on and not give in. Keep up the good work and you will take control of this situation.
