[QUOTE="WhitbyJet, post: 253697, member: 35964"] I am so sorry to read about your husband and his brother and hope that your husband can go on and lead a life as healthy as is possible. Your post ought to be made a sticky, its a warning to everyone, no matter what type of diabetes they have. I was eating the wrong things for a very long time, the medication that I was prescribed didnt cover the amount of carbs I was eating, I followed traditional carbs with every meal advice. My bg levels consistently higher than they should have been I developed a range of complications as a result and as you say, they do creep up on you. You dont notice at first, I was seriously ill for a while. With low carb I have managed to reverse some of my complications, but neuropathy is still affecting me, I dont think it will ever go away completely. I know so much better now, thank goodness, but my heart drops each and every time I read about someone saying they have had chocolate biscuits or bread or whatever, that their bg was above the recommended guide lines and that they got away with it. Diabetes is totally underhand, it tricks you, you think you get away with it, but complications build up silently, the effect is not immediate until one day 'bang, wallop'. Please everyone, dont let it happen to you x x [/QUOTE]
