 e-mail halfacrefarm@gmail.com | | Im a type 2 diabetic, managed for 5 years without medication, a change in life style meant that within a week of discovering my illness I felt better than I had in years. I lost a lot of weight very quickly and even now am still having to buy smaller size clothes every year, now I'm on medication, many of the symptoms I had 5 yrs ago were reappearing, I'm now on Metformin, I feel great again but my blood results still aren't right, so I'm not sure what the Dr will do now. If you need to talk email me and I will send you my phone number. Being diabetic is not the end of the world, just need to change a few habits, make sure your Dr gives you the form to CPAM to give you 100% cover on diabetic related medication and treatment, you should also get a meter free.

Must go and find a diabetes specialist, my doc seems out of his depth - he blames me for having the condition !!!
Well it is your fault, as is my condition, being overweight causes the problem, and staying over weight makes it get worse. Having the medication will not help if you continue with the very life style that got you diabetes in the first place. if your on a sensible diet, one that the normal healthy person lives on then there's the perfect diet for a diabetic, add a little exercise and get ready to feel better than you have in years, just keep the sugar intake down but keep some handy just in case you need a sugar top up, you will soon learn to recognise the signs that your sugar level is low. Just be ready to spend lots of money on new clothes as your weight drops off.

You obviously have not bothered to read my post.
I will repeat part of it: My diet consists of the following. I have never taken sugar in anything, I do not eat sweets of any kind and never have, not even as a child.
Breakfast: 3 slices of light Rivita with scraping of low-fat "butter" (Bridelight 17%), 1 low-fat yoghourt
Lunch: 120g lean white meat, grilled, and 200-250g green veg, steamed
Dinner: 120g lean meat/fish, grilled, and 200g green veg, steamed, 1 medium potato, boiled
No cheese, sugar, jam or marmelade, alcohol, eggs, sweets, or bread of any kind (other than Rivita). No snacks of any kind.
The above is my doctor's idea of fun. |
