Hello every body,
not really a new member but have been away from the forum for a while. I was diag. type 2 in April 2008 and initially lost a couple of stone by sticking to the balanced diet and exercise. My bloods were not good and found the dosage of metformin crept up every visit to the GP but I was doing well and feeling fit and healthy. All this changed in Oct when my girlfriend gave birth to my son, he was born with TOFS-an incomplete food pipe joined to the wind pipe.
We have only really just got him past a life threatening stage and although his journey will be a long and winding one I now Have to start getting myself back on track.After 6 months of eating takeaways and junk because the hospital was 35 miles away from home, working 12 hour nights 70 mile from home, looking after the other children I really didn't take care of myself.
I know low carb is not for every one and I don't want to turn this thread into another debate ,I just want to say thank you for all posts from both sides of the debate . I would never have given it a go without the information gained on here. As I say I don't mean this in any other way other than to thank all contributers. It really is working for me, I was on the verge of not being able to carry on with my life style and now I can give my son the time and care he needs. Thank you
