Hi
I am male. 45 years old. 6' 3" 83kg
Was recently diagnosed whilst out in Asia back in March. Hospitslized with a flesh eating bacteria of the foot. Had a toe and part of my foot amputated (overall a horrendous experience)
The day after being admitted I was asked how long had I been a diabetic, to which I replied I am not.
My blood reading was 95 !!!
Totally shocked.
Currently on Metfirmin 4 x500 mg twice a day.
And 1 empagliflozin 10mg x1 a day.
I never smoked or abused my body. Rarely drank alcohol. But did have a very sweet tooth.
My cholestorol reading over in Asia was 3.8
Fast forward to now. I am still on the Medication. But my latest blood results are
May 2019 it had reduced to 70
August 2019 it hascreduced to 53 (with a cholestorol reading of 3.2)
Ive had zero alcohol since March (but hardly drank alcohol anyway)
I have 1 bar of dark chocolate on a saturday night.
My diet mainly now consists of less portion sizes and sweet potatoes/steamed vegetables. With some form of meat or fish.
I am hoping to come off the Medication eventually. But not sure if this will be possible?
