Hi ,I thought I would share some of my Type 2 Story with you .(cut short)
I have been overweight with high bp and cholesterol for as long as I remember and about 17 years ago was warned that if I did not lose weight I was heading for a heart attack , well a couple years later the inevitable happened. I was really poorly with unstable angina , then I found I was always hungry, tired and could not stop going to the loo,in a check up I had I found that I had type 2 and was put on 3 metformin I was on these for about 2 years but could not control my type 2 so was put on insulin and in the end ha to inject 3 time a day and one before bed for over night , I did find I dad quite a few hypos after this and still found it hard to control . Just over 1yr ago I started at Slimming World and to cut the story short ,I eat carbs like normal humans and have lost 6 stone and am now controlling my diabetes with 2 metformin per day and maybe soon diet only , my bp and cholesterol are normal . I do not have angina attacks either ,so for me diet has definitely works and I still eat normal carbs .
