[QUOTE="Stephen Lewis, post: 2123663, member: 479176"] Hi Mandedog. Also in Canada and previously in the UK. I went on the Canadian site for a few months but asked some questions that would have been 'difficult' for a pharma site to answer. Never got any answers from the sponsors and everything seemed geared to making us think we are dependent on the drug companies, medical professionals and questionable diet recommendations. I was put on insulin in hospital 18 months ago and took myself off insulin last December. I just got back from my doctor who said that I was the most motivated with the best results of all her diabetic patients. My latest A1c, last week was 6.4%. How did this happen? Low carb diet. Gradually reduced carbs so I am now on less than 15 gms at most meals. Gym, 3 or 4 times a week. Goodlife Fitness sometimes have a reduced membership fee with no fixed term and a low monthly fee. Most of all this forum. You will come to know that the condition is reversible (even if not curable), that the terrifying side effects need not happen and you have control. The disease need not be progressive. Come back to the forum for information (no appointment necessary) and support. Get on a low carb diet (try the Low Carb Program that I did) with constant monitoring of you bg levels. I aim for a max. 8.5 after meals but you will find out what works for you. Look on this as a job where you want to get promoted to the top as quickly as possible. Learn what's happening, do the research and 'work' hard. In this job you are the boss. [/QUOTE]
