[QUOTE="jahusba, post: 201160, member: 34690"] Just a brief hello as I've been lurking a while now and thought it was time to introduce myself.... I'm a married 52 year old Mum of 4. Diagnosed type 2 last summer, am controlling it with a low carb diet. Although have lost a couple of stone still need to lose loads more, obesity has caused me several health problems including high blood pressure (controlled by 4 different meds), gall stones, AF (occassional irregular heartbeat) painful knees and feet, numb hands and I believe is the main cause of my diabetes. I know some say that it isn't necessarily the reason but I believe in a lot of cases it is. In my family other type 2's are Mum, Gran (she's made it to 92 so far by the way!) Father in law, Sister in law and my hubby, we are the overweight ones, all our slim siblings are ok. By the way out of all of us I am the only one that has good numbers and manages without medication so far. :idea: I am the only one following a low carb diet. Am happy to have been diagnosed as it now means I must take more care of myself and I get much better treatment at my GP's and was well looked after last year when I had a shoulder op. Best to look on the positive side :D Can't believe how much info is out there about LC,so many recipes and advice. My biggest find/help in low carbing has to be the flaxseed muffin and flaxseed crackers. Enjoying other health benefits from my diet but these numbers have to be the best thing... At diagnosis HbAlc was over 10 and trigs 2.1, just 3 months later HbAlc 5.8 and trigs 1.4! :lol: If I don't post very much right now it's cos I've got lot's of reading of past posts to read through! Good luck and health to you all Jane :) [/QUOTE]
