[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 1820219, member: 209498"] Welcome to the forum [USER=479578]@M6CEB[/USER], it's good that you have joined. And welcome to [USER=479207]@Kayleigh1008[/USER] too and well done for getting your husband to join. Matt your readings are high. You might think that weeing frequently is not a big problem, and that your vision and limbs are fine. But if you don't take action now there is a cumulative effect. Your thicker sugary blood will cause more sugar to accumulate at the lowest point of gravity, your feet, and behind your eyes. It is going to affect those first, and other internal organs you can't see. If you just keep relying on medication to 'fix' the problem, your blood glucose will get worse, you will probably need increasing amounts of medication. Possibly eventually insulin injections - that's what shocked me into taking action as I have an injection phobia. And yes Type 2 diabetes can lead to death through strokes, kidney or heart failure. It is that serious. You say you don't know where to start. Well start by reading through the threads on this forum. You will see that many of us (including me) have lowered our blood glucose into non-diabetic levels by adopting a Low Carbohydrate High Fat (lchf) approach to eating. Basically it means cutting out or drastically reducing sugary drinks (and beer) and sugary starchy carbohydrate foods like bread, potatoes, pasta and rice. There are alternatives. And if you like sweets and ice cream there are non or low sugar alternatives for those too - try OPPO ice cream which I like! It does take a bit of time to get your head around it all, but ask any questions you want. The people on here are friendly and supportive. [/QUOTE]
