I am writing to thank you all for the help you have given me over the last 6 months. My husband, Michael, was diagnosed with type 2 at the beginning of Oct. last year. He had no idea he had diabetes until he went to the optician for routine eye check, when it was found that he had blood leaking into his eye. As soon as we knew he was type 2, I started researching on Internet and found this Forum. His first blood test showed his blood at 101. He went on to Janumet twice a day and immediately started to cut the carbs as recommended by this forum. His next blood test in Jan. this year showed his blood at 63. The DN couldn't believe he could make such a change in such a short time and today he has had the result of a blood test done a few days ago and it is 37!! We can't thank you enough for your help and support, just by reading the forum, you have helped him to control his diabetes. He has, unfortunately, already had to have two sessions of lazer eye treatment, which has left his eye fuzzy and he has to go back to see whether the lazer treatment has sealed the blood vessels at the end of May. If not, he will have to have eye injections to try to seal them, but at least he feels he has done everything he can to halt the damage and that is solely down to your help. Thank you so much, everyone.
