Which Medication Is Best?

[MKD75]

I just want to thank you all for you replies, your info and your knowledge! It feels like it’s finally “clicked” for me! Am back on track and medication is in the bin, don’t think I’ll be needing that. 1 tablet was enough for me.

My Nan passed in 1999 from heart failure after being diagnosed in 1997. We only found out she had it after she developed gangrene in 2 of her toes and had to have them Removed but thinking back to the late 80’s/early 90’s, she had the most obvious symptoms for years! Always weeing, always thirsty, lost lots of weight, always complaining her feet and toes were burning. None of us realised and she never ever went to the doctors. After the amputation she was told what she could and couldn’t eat from a health visitor who came around each week to test her blood with a finger pricker but she never took medication, not sure what the options were back then? Lord only knows what her hpa1c would have been! It Must have been high for years and years.
