Message: <blockquote data-quote="ajbod" data-source="post: 2617669" data-attributes="member: 544995">I dieted for weight loss before i was diagnosed prediabetic, shortly after increasing carbs, to stabilise my weight. This is why i'm sure i was diabetic long before my diagnosis, as the prediabetic Hba1c contained at least 2 months of strict Keto, and the rest about 50 - 60 grams a day. And i'd been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy in my legs 4 years previous. And suffered carb comas, and funny turns, what i now recognise to be hyper glucose levels, the dotors never even tested. Subsequently i'm convinced my 2 strokes, were caused by diabetes, as they couldn't find any reason for them, The first when i was supposedly prediabetic, the second on the day of my first DN appointment, which they didn't seem to think was a good enough excuse for missing it. I have also had a femoral artery bypass done, and that was the reason the doctor said i might as well continue with the minimal dose of metformin. Being officially in remission is of no concern to me, all that matters is as good control of my blood sugar levels as i can manage for as long as possible.as for the cravings it's my wifes fault, she keeps bringing all sorts home from work, she's a coffee shop manager for Marks and Spencer. I swear she's trying to do me in. It took her 2 years to actually believe that i had diabetes.</blockquote>
