Hi All.
I'm new here!
Been type 2 for about 2 and a half years. I'm on Metformin and Simvastatin. I take 1 Metformin (rather than the prescribed 2) and manage to keep my bloods level, with an average reading of 5.5. I do have the (very) occasional hypo, but usually get a taste in my mouth that warns me that they are coming.
Went to see my doctor and asked about the study. He told me it was awaste of time as I'd put weight back on when I started eating properly again and my diabetes would return.
So anyway, as a typical Scouser I'm ignoring him and going to go ahead with it.
Planning to use Slimfast (mixed with water) and going to start on Friday 28th Sept. That way I've got the weekend off work for the hardest - first few days. I'm expecting to feel cold and tired, with some dizziness too.
Just a couple of question for anyone who's been on this journey;
I take Diabtone vitamins. Shall I keep on taking these?
I play football twice a week. How did anyone find playing sport during the first part of the diet? Did it bring on any hypos?
Fingers crossed and any hints / tips would be VERY welcome.
Cheers
Dave
