[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2507959, member: 196898"] I hope that the doctor used words that were of encourgement rather than blaming you for your predicament, Whilst it is true that it will require further action on your part it seems the light at the end of the tunnel is somewhat dim at the moment. I assume that you have browsed these boards before, and are probably aware of the maxim We are what we eat. The Success Stories section of the forum has many entries from others describing what has worked for them, and may provide a path forward for you and your partner. I find myself reading food labels, and if the carbohydrate content per 100g is less than 10 (i.e. is 10% ot less) then I know I can probably use it with confidence. Above 10 and it starts to become problematic. This simple rule allows me to reduce the stress of shopping without requiring major mental gymnastics, and helps me keep my sugars under control. I had an external assessment at work following my stroke, and they too recommended that I retire early on grounds of ill health. I fought back and managed to keep my job. I was then supported by my employer past my NRD even after some more CVD events. I was very lucky. You may be able to claim Attendance Allowance or Carers allowance along with the PIP. I [/QUOTE]
