[QUOTE="katie505, post: 1576944, member: 436445"] Hi, I was officially diagnosed today. I had a hba1c of 60 mmol/mol. I also have a fatty liver. I feel that I have been undiagnosed for many years. I was just given medication, no diet advice or test strips. I am not taking the meds as I am super sensitive to medication. I suffer chronic fatigue/ fibromyalgia and other health issues and 2 paracetamol knock me sideways for 3 or 4 days. I eat what I consider a great diet and I excercise at least one to two hours per day. I'm really lucky that I hate anything sweet. I used to race on my bike but my balance is not so good now. I can't lose weight no matter what I do and the nurse says I'm starving as I don't eat enough??? Im 13stone and 5 ft 8 in. I have eaten more in the past, for a few years and my weight was about 17 stone. Even with cycling 18 miles to work each way and 12 hours heavy work on my feet and 100 miles on a Sunday I was overweight. Somewhere under all that belly fat there's a six pack! Lol! I'm skinny on my legs and arms, hands, face and bum. Just fat on my belly! Hips 38 but waist 46. I can encircle my arms with my fingers and my legs are only 17in on top of thighs. I have to get clothes specially made. The nurse says this is normal for diabetes? Can anyone give me advice on how to lower blood sugar without medication. Medicine has a paradoxical reaction on me. My blood pressure and lipids are fine. Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
