three months ago, that because my tablets didnt seem to be doing me any good at all, just making me feel unwell, I stopped taking them all, except my happy pills.
This was a reckless move 
and one which I would warn any diabetics against, in fact I would warn anyone suffering from an 'unseen' ailment against.
It is very true that I hadnt felt so good and well for nearly ten years. It is also true that after 6 weeks I was rushed by emergency ambulance into the local hospital with a head that felt ready to explode and pain to match. I was just about to have a stroke apparently.
I have learnt my lesson 
I am of course, now back on the tablets and fortunately my new doctor (because of our move) seems much more concerned about getting my medication to a place where I can at least function reasonably well. It has only taken nearly ten years to find someone who will treat me and not just the diabetes!!
It turns out I lost a publishing deal for one of my books because I had posted excerpts of the book on a blog!! Be warned!!
well, it is time for second cup of tea - so I will say have a good morning and I will try to get back later. I will succeed so long as today is not a repeat of tomorrow.
I went out for 2 loaves of bread and came back back with bread, ham, washing powder tablet thingys, PLUS £50 of shopping from wilkinsons and lunch out for two 
! Still it was a lovely day 
I better go
