Message: <blockquote data-quote="DerekCS" data-source="post: 1992412" data-attributes="member: 500531">Hi ive just joined although I was diagnosed about 5 years ago. I was put on Metformin etc.I had no problems eating and drinking what I wanted and was told by doc after lots of blood tests that I should just take medication and carry on doing what I was doing. Which included eating foods and drinks with sugar .About a month ago i just didn’t feel right , nothing specific , or painful, just not myself, so I went to doc and asked to have blood pressure and blood test (finger prick only not phials) BP was a bit high but blood was 11.8.He said I needed to loose weight or else I’d be on insulin in 3 months. Shock horror !!I’ve lost about 5kg in last 2 weeks and started walking every other day about 3-4 k at a time.I go back to docs in a couple of weeks and hope my readings have improved.Meanwhile I’ve read and watch numerous bits and pieces on iPad , latest was this Halki guy, OMG he does go on, but I did investigate a few things he said re PM2.5 (air bourne particles 2.5 in diameter Abundant in middle and Far East) the ingredients (all good) and Halki itself (haha) although he did say it was an island off coast of Greece the video showed a palm coved beach ..... not in the Greek islands and not Halki which is close to Rhodes and the Turkish mainland. Altogether a load of RUBISH.My other main annoyance is the amount of contradiction about what is good and bad food for diabetics, I know we are all individuals and some things work for some and not others but it’s a bit too much when articles say for example eggs are ok and others say they are not ????</blockquote>
