Anyway, the literature says not good for Diabetics and so I rang the diabetic nurse at the GP's surgery to see if I could have one. She was the same nurse I saw before Christmas and said that as my feet were OK as she had examined them and that i had lowered my diabetic points - that it shouldn't be a problem but not to use it long term and often. I was thinking of 10 mins per night ot so.
She also said at the appointment before Chtristmas that my points may not have come down very much in just 6 weeks - but on the phone today actually told me they had come down by 12 points from 64 to 52.... I was over the moon.
She said if I was to lose more weight and kept up the exercise and watched what I was eating them there would be no doubt I could reduce my medication even more - i am aiming for just one tablet each day instead of two AND by the end of the year to no diabetic medication at all - need to plan ahead regarding the statins but if I am just on that then so be it.
Very pleased overall.
