I went to the doctors for the first in 6 years, with a pain in my chest which turned out to be a trapped nerve. But of course now I am there she sends me for all the tests, anyway turns out I am type 2.
I am over weight yes, but I feel fine in every way, went to see the nurse yesterday who was going to sit me down and tell me what I should do to control it and sort out my tablets.
Half hour with nurse who showed me how to use the pricky thing to test my blood for glucose. And she gave me a eating well booklet. I was then told my prescription would not be in till later in the week and I would need two further visits to the nurse to explain things further.
So I leave the surgery not much better informed than when I went in, ok if I do have type 2 I want to do something about it ASAP, like other people have said there are so many conflicting ideas on what you should eat.
Is there not a simple list of things you can eat and things that you should not eat, I am not too bothered about having the odd treat I would sooner just cut out anything that is no good for me. I thought I had a healthy diet as it was. As I said I am over weight and I am not about to the London marathon or join a gym and the only bike I am going to ride has an engine. I am going to try swimming a few times a week.
Can any one help with a list of things to eat and avoid.
I wish I had never gone to the doctors!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bye for now
