Hi everyone,

I WAS DIGNOSED WITH type 2 diabetes in April 2008 it was a shock to me as last year I was just told I had Osterarthritis in both hips now 2009 it is spreading all over body, my blood readings have been up and down 16.00 has been the highest and 3.0 lowest, I just got a new meter the aviva nano from accu-check , trying to down load the smartpix . I have to find the profile button and fill it in.

:D:D:Miker147258🙂🙂

thank you all for the welcome, I was down at my local health centre for the diabetic clinic and the gp asked if I would come down to get my blood monitoed ( not too good at times at spelling:D) I said no I will do it at home as getting down is a problem. I have a mobility scooter but it is very slow :D

I was telling her that my head is like a vice at times and my heart feels as if it is ready to jump out o my chest. she said everything is ok with blood pressure but my cholestral is 4.6 and for diabetics it should be below 4 2.0 is good she said is this right she has put me on a tablet for it.

thats good cholestrol level and yeah what tablet are you on?
 
A lot of people when diagnosed with type 2 are prescribed statins - I take them as well. I was told it protects your heart - helps keep cholesterol low.
 
thats mine are called Smvastatin 20mg and for the diabetes Metformin 500mg
