[QUOTE="Pollylocks, post: 818367, member: 46639"] Perhaps you should think more about the positive things being said in here rather than dwell on the negatives. I was diagnosed with Type 2 almost sixteen years ago....I managed with diet only, even though the advice given then is now outdated, for the next thirteen years and then prescribed SR Metformin one twice a day.....you may say this is part of the progression of diabetes but I beg to differ, Metformin give a bit of a boost they don't actually reduce blood sugar levels by much and I haven't had to increase my medication since then....since being on here I have been lowISH carbing highISH fat......had my last HbA1c last month and it was 45, the lowest its ever been, cholesterol was 4.1, again the lowest its ever been, never had eye problems with my annual diabetic eye test, no neuropathy when have annual feet tests. So please try to lighten up, its not all doom and gloom even after 16 years ......[where's the thumbs up smiley when you need one] [/QUOTE]
