Hello All,

My name is Kam
I am going to be 50 this October 2014.
I wish to share this with you all especially if you are type 2 .
I was diagnosed as T2 in 2006, my doctor immediately put me on Statins, Omega 3 and Metformin. My weight was around 96KGS
I was petrified of the side effects of Statins and Metformin so decided to change my lifestyle and diet and left taking them after a couple of months.
I continued with the Omega 3 and am a Lacto vegeterian, this means I can eat diary products but no kind of meats, fish, eggs etc.
I took on exercise, cycling on an indoor cycle ad England is terribly cold and wet and found that an hour was sufficient to bring my blood sugars to normal ranges, 5.5.
But, I found that if I laxed then my sugars would rise again and I had to continue to exercise to keep control.
I also saw that in 2012 I went to Los Angles and for some reason my levels were stuck at 8.8 and no matter what amount of exercise I did, the levels remained high and got very depressed. My family also were worried and they said that it could be the temperature rise that was causing it. So I put the strips in a fridge and checked the next day, they dropped by a point from 8.8 to 7.8. This proved to me that you cannot rely on these meters and strips too much and that they can mislead you and you could end up taking high doses of meds when it's the meter and strips playing up.
When I got back to UK, my levels came back to normal ranges under 6.
But, they always rose when I did not exercise, I was tired of this fight and thought that I had no hope. So although I looked fit and in shape I knew I could not stop this constant battle. Then in 2012 I had to spend time in Central America on a development project and the weather being warm and humid I took regular walks and learned how to roller blade.
Around this time I also did a blood test and found that I had high triglycerides 269 and my Platelets were clumped up so showed as 115000 when they were actually over 200000.
I decided to attack the triglycerides as these are dangerously high and can cause strokes. Someone said take garlic pills they will help.
So, I thought ok and bought some, I also purchased a herbal medicines called Arjuna, Shudda Guggal, Karela and Neem. But, I love Garlic and decided to take raw garlic with my meals.
I took this for 6 months and on my last blood test, my triglycerides has dropped to 185 and my cholesterol levels also came into correct levels. My sugars were testing as normal and I lost all my gut and could see that all my fat was disappearing and even my hair started growing back.
I am testing normal even when I don't excercise.
Maybe you should all try it.

Hi,

My names Andy. I'm 27. Type 1.

I was informed of my new best "friend" two years ago. During this time I have not had the best relationship with my new buddy.

Recently I have realised that I know nothing about it.

I've decide that I need some help, and hope that I can learn from people who have made peace with their "friend".

Thanks in advance.

Regards.
