[QUOTE="psbridge, post: 98189, member: 19560"] I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes earlier this year, control is being effected by diet and Statins. I went out with some friends for lunch a few weeks after diagnosis and decided that perhaps a Gammon steak plus a few oven cooked chips might be OK. Something must have reacted quite badly with my condition shortly afterwards, because I had double vision and could hardly stand unsupported. The cavalry arrived and after a few blood tests and an ecg in the ambulance, I was ferried off to casualty where I remained wired up for a few hours until things returned to normal. A conversation with someone working in catering revealed that sometimes Gammon is stored in Honey to keep it moist, and if stored for a while before distribution to restaurants, obviously this sweetness will sink into the actual joint which is then cut into steaks. I've heard of "Honey Roast Ham", so would obviously avoid this at all costs, but was totally unaware that an ordinary Steak might be affected in this way. Could my reaction have actually been a "hypo", although I was also unaware that these could affect a type "2" sufferer? The other suggestion was a TIA, a small bit of fat coming adrift from a remote artery as a result of the Statins and the recent drastic change of diet / lifestyle! Peter [/QUOTE]
