[QUOTE="Deleted member 508720, post: 2138605"] I’m really sorry you’re suffering in such a way. With your condition, as mine, we need all the support we can get. You’ve done very well to reduce your A1c to 44. Keep doing all the right things and you will win in the end. I receive excellent care and my GP and Diabetic Specialist nurse are always at the other end of the phone if I need them. I was also told I will only be seen for a Review once a year. I asked the DN if I should buy a meter and she said I didn’t need to with the medication I’m on. I know most on this Forum would advocate buying a meter but I resist doing so because I can’t bear pricking my fingers and drawing blood! As a child, I saw my Granny injecting insulin into her legs and that remains with me. I wish you all the best. What I do is keep eating plenty of vegetables, salads and moderate fruit, eggs, chicken and fish such as cod, tuna and salmon. I know mackerel and sardines are also good but I don’t like them. I try to avoid red meat. I keep the carbohydrate low, as this turns to sugar in the blood stream. I seldom eat cake, puddings, biscuits, chocolate, ice cream, flavoured or fruit drinks. I have porridge with blueberries for breakfast but I know this is debatable Do keep in touch if I can be of any help or encouragement. Kind regards, Sheila [/QUOTE]
