I am now told that the drug I take to control my diabetes has a side effect in that it prevents weight loss ... in fact tests have shown that it will pile weight on to users.
No wonder I am struggling to control my weight ~ currently 20 stone and I am not proud of it!
I eat less and less but still the weight won't shift. I even gained weight in hospital on a strict diet!
Exercise would be good but angina prevents this.
They are talking about trying me on some new wonder drug that controls diabetes and helps one to shed weight.... but it means daily self administered injections and has side effects of its own
Hence this morning's blood tests prior to the diabetic clinic meeting with the consultant who will decide if I can try the new drug.
The blood was still red ~ such a disappointment!
