Hi,
I am newly joined to the forum having struggling with type 2 diabetes for around 10 years. I was put on insulin a few years ago as I was suffering huge side effects with the usual oral treatment. I have a good few stone to lose and being on insulin along with thyroid disease has proved ghastly in trying to lose weight.
I've tried every diet/therapy out there, except perhaps the Cabbage diet.
I tried to get surgery for the new Endobarrier but the doctor at the hospital was totally dis-interested in that.
However, I say this cautiously as it's only been going since Feb 9th, that I have got some success with the Paul McKenna's Hypnoband, so far I have lost 6kg and seen a small fall in my bg. The real plus is that I get to eat chips and chocolate, albeit in tiny amounts compared to my previous consumption. To top it all I have managed to reduce my Novomix30 from 18 units twice a day down to a current 8 units!
My diabetic nurse has said that if I can keep it up then she will be taking me off insulin and trying me with a new drug that you take with food.
Either way I am aiming to shed the weight and the insulin, it may take time, but I just wanted to suggest the new book by Paul Daniels, available on Amazon for less than a tenner. No surgery, saved thousands of pounds and all the discomfort, worth a try?
