[QUOTE="Tigerkitty1950, post: 523838, member: 89702"] I thought I could deal with it by changing my diet,, what a daft idea I was useless, in denial for a couple years finally had to take tablets And now I am reducing carbs quite a bit, still have a sandwich if its Whole grain bread , try and have porridge some days, totally avoid sugar and try and eat low glycemic foods ( look it up ) , I try to be good most of the time but I'm not rigid , I do try to avoid Pies and pastry and definitely the worst thing to eat is doughnuts , I found gassy drinks are all bad, Except for Tonic Water it has quinine in it, good for muscle cramps, I try to water down all drinks not sure if it helps, it's a work in progress, the hardest thing was stopping the crisps but I now just have a nibble instead of 3 packets a day, now that I have to take tablets Metformin, , as nothing else worked, I am starting to lose some weight now, quite pleased as it will help, if you do take tablets, keep an eye on potassium levels to prevent bad cramps, [/QUOTE]
