g'day there, I found this site while researching Lupin8, a friend of mine who is a twenty year db was extolling it's virtues and has given me some to try . He was telling me that his gp was about to start him on insulin to control his condition and after reading an article about it, he tried it and after 3 or 4 weeks, while changing nothing else, he has his fbg down to "normal" 4.5 - 6 . i have only recently been diagnosed ( gp tried to convince me about a year ago but I wasn't having it - I'll beat this wioth my own secret mens methods - yeah right, next visit my fgl had gone from 7 to 10.8, not really on top of it eh) it's taken some coming to grips with, I've always been a big bloke but probably let myself go too far in the last 4 years or so, blew out to around 147kg and at 6' 2" (185cm) carrying far too much weight.my job is quite physically strenuous at times (delivering furniture and other equipment) but apparently not enough to stave of diabetes. i have altered my lifestyle considerably (with the awesome help and support of my wife) and seem to be managing reasonably well. I am still struggling to get my fasting bgl under 10 but am adding more structured exercise and hoping the lupin8 will assist as well. got my weight down to 134kg and dropping a steady 1.5 to 2kg per month I hope to get to a "normal"-er weight in a year or so.
i've been started on metex500 (2 initially ) and now three tabs a day plus bp and cholestoral med. gp reckons my bp was a little high and the cholestoral meds drastically reduce the chance of a sudden heart attack or stroke - hard to come to grips with these things when your doc is addressing you -not some other person. meds must be working because my bp has gone from 140/80 to a daily average of 118/72 - feeling healthier as well.
enough about me
once again
G'day all
