Hi,

Im Tony, and I have recently found out I am type 2 diabetic. I don't have to have any medication for diabetes yet, but I am also suffering from High blood pressure and high colesterol. I am currently tryimg to come to terms with the need to eat a better diet, previously I lived off all the wrong foods. I can't be the only one trying to control fats and sugars at the same time, anybody else out there like me.

Hello Tony 2

Welcome to the board.

I've been on statins of all sorts for my cholesterol over the last eleven years but settled down with one type in the morning and a different one in the evening.

Those two have brought my cholesterol down from around 7.9 to 4.3 at the last test. I have to have a liver scan on monday to investigate some odd liver function test results then they will decide the next step.

I figure that there are many many people on statins and very many of those are also on diabetes tabs. Perhaps it will take a few tries but sooner or later they will establish the best combination.

There is certainly plenty of help and support on here so pointing me to this site was the best thing the GP has done for me so far.

Steve.

Hi Tony, well I am also trying to control sugar, whilst lowering my weight by cutting down on fat. 11lbs lost in 4 weeks, I'm kinda happy with that, more happy with my waist shrinking....Whooppieeeeeee!!!.

Tony, I'm a chip and burger man, who loves a fried breakfast. I'm not going to say it's easy, but I've come to like Shredded Wheat with Blueberry's, and Granary toast😉😉

Hi Tony

I am diet and exercise controlled although I do take tablets for high bp and cholesterol. Have a look at the diabetes.org.uk website they have loads of advice re foods and stuff - and if you want to know anything - feel free to ask.
