Jack412 - no worries. I live in Tauranga, New Zealand.
Nosher8355 - I agree, that things are not black and white. To me, they are contextual. I too have looked into natural ways to manage the situation. I believe that personal testimonies of natural solutions while encouraging are subjective. Because we are all unique in make up.
I see where people may conclude that there is a hidden agenda in the food and medical industries and government.
You'll be happy to know that after discussing my symptoms with the GP they have completely stopped the Gliclazide. With a plan to stop the Metformin in the near future.
With the exception of Omeprazole, the meds I mention in my sig are the only meds I have been taking. I used to be on psych meds but was urged to get off them by the endocrinologist. I have discussed the issue with my GP who left the decision to me, but encouraged me to weigh the options carefully. I tapered off over 18 months.
When I was discharged from hospital a few weeks ago I was prescribed Enalapril for hypertension. Instead I have tried to manage it naturally.
My Blood Pressure today was 145/100. A blood test was taken and the results will be back on Monday. I was prescribed Cilazapril 1.25mg in place of the Enalapril, for once a day and the GP will re-evaluate the situation in 2 weeks .
Incidently, just before I went to see the GP my BG was 3.4 mmol/L.
Also, I was prescribed anti-biotics for tonsilitis.
Donnellysdogs - Yes, I have read that statins are reported to cause symptoms similar if not the same to mine.
