[QUOTE="bob1965, post: 936449, member: 205398"] Hi thanks for the welcome and the advice, Think you may be right about fat and heart disease, I had known for over 20 years that I was at high risk of heart disease so followed the Drs advice and ate only low/no fat foods and any bread, rice, pasta etc was wholegrain, yet still developed the heart disease. You say you had pain in your arms and legs, was that while you were still eating low fat and carb? The last few weeks before I cut the carbs right down I was getting weak and dizzy a few hours after eating and would get aching in my calves before I started to feel hungry however my sugar level was always around 5. I could never go more than about 2.5 hours without eating, since cutting out the carbs this has all stopped. The only carb I had yesterday was approx 30 to 40g in some dumplings as we thought the suet would be a good source of fat however 1.5 hours after eating, sugar level had gone from 5.3 to 10.3 may have gone higher as felt pretty rough most of the night I don’t have a heart nurse and don’t know what my cholesterol is at the moment. I haven’t had a test done since my operation, I am also on atorvastatin and a few other drugs and was under the impression that I should have regular testing of liver or kidney function, the Dr didn’t seem this was a necessity My Dr does not recognize prediabetes and was not interested in the results of my own testing as according to her the home test equipment can be wildly inaccurate, I was either diabetic or not, think I only got to have the Hba1c test to shut me up and anything under 48 proved that I was not, since then I have been eating to the meter and finding that as the weeks go by I have less things that I can eat [/QUOTE]
