[QUOTE="Arab Horse, post: 686104, member: 136328"] Hi Debbie, I was diagnosed a few months ago after a routine NHS health check; was gobsmacked to find I had diabetes although I do have some risk factors although I am a healthy weight; Didn't eat all day, just breakfast and then nothing until late evening quite often and then when I did I didn't really eat the right things, not enough sleep and a stressful job. I had no symptoms (to everyone's surprise). I was put on metformin and then sitaglyptin added and statins although I didn't really have a high cholesterol and my HDL cholesterol was high and LDL low but the only thing that keeps my glucose low is no carbohydrates (well, very little). No bread, potatoes, rice, pasta etc. It is difficult to stick to and I do have the odd thing such as my usual bran flakes for breakfast.. Reading on the internet I was aghast at what siaglyptin does to you so I have stopped taking it and the statins. If you have been struggling for 2 years you need some sort of new approach. I have just ordered Syntra5 tablets from the States as I have read a lot about them, all very positive, hope they work as they are expensive. I will let you know how I get on. If you google SYNTRATECH you will get all the details. If they are half as good as the trials show it will be amazing!!!! [/QUOTE]
