I've been on this for a month, stopped taking simvastatin a year ago cos of horrible cramps in the night. I'm having some very random dreams though, not had the calf / foot cramp i was getting. Not sure if any other side effects, but if it does cause BS's to go up, that's definitely happening...

Try taking it at night time. Thats what i did to minimise the nausea. Just used to get a 5 min attack of it about 9am. I was on it for 6 months or so, come off it, as it stopped working really. And i was getting constipation every week, retaining fluid, or not going for a wee very often. Have...

having just come off all forms of insulin it took me months to have a proper hypo. I'm T2 for about 11 years. Started on long and short acting insuman in May 2014, then around August came off the short acting, had my first proper hypo in December walking round tesco. Grabbed a box of jelly...

Hi, not posted for a while. But have been off insulin for a week. Because most recent HBa1C was 46, :). Last may it was 146, August time had dropped to 64. However, put a stone in weight on, which is now the next test to loose that. I obviously cant loose weight / stay the same and get blood...

Thanks you, its a very unpleasant feeling i must say. DN has replied saying stop the glicerzide and see how that goes - it'll most likely jump right back up and i'll be back to square one.

Hi Bit confused, back at work now, after having 2 ops and using a mouse left handed currently because of operation scar on my hand. Last week, my blood sugars dropped quite considerably - usually we'd be celebrating, but even my morning ones i had a 5.9 which is unheard of. Before tea...

This last 3 weeks since having my various operation they've all been under 7. Dropping to 5.1 before tea. This morning fasting was 5.1 which is unheard of for me. I've not tested as much been struggling to do things left handed. But I ve had the stitches out of my hand today , not a pretty...

Have a look in marks n sparks some are quite nice, also try Evans as they do wide fitting shoes as well and aren't frumpy. Some of the Clark's softsole shoes are nice and feel padded, not cheap about £40 but I got leopard print ones last year and they're seeing in year 2. Crocs do a black flat...

Ooh that sounds nice, Defo be having a go at that. That could cook in the slow cooker I reckon. Am borrowing my mum's before I buy one.

How do you make the ham broth. I tried homemade chicken soup and that was a fail just tasted of fat no chicken but it was the left over chicken from the bones and yucky bits we don't eat. While I still have a working right hand

Been in the 7's since Thursday, the general anaesthetic from Thursdays operation doesn't seem to have caused too many problems. Am very bloated though assume that will go away and still feel bit faint every so often though. Then the next thing is carpel tunnel op on Tuesday under local. That...

mines going silly. 10.5 this morning - 9.8 at bedtime. but again i woke up at 4am tossed and turned heard the wind howling and tried to get back to sleep. Even my DN says the bloods are running away. maybe once i have the operations this week and next it will calm down. Thursday morning...

Live in stockport so in the middle really, it's at our local hospital. 're the codeine, when I've been on them I take one with a 2 hour gap in between the 2nd one until get used to them, don't like the spaced out feeling.

glad you're ok. I want a pair of those skechers as well. i believe there's a factory or mill shop in Derbyshire that sell them very much reduced. I'm supposed to have general on Thursday for gynae op been waiting months for it - am trying not to get a cold or any infections. I wonder whether...

I've been lucky with my DN although she's based at a different practice (our surgeries merged). She actually understands about carbs, Did mention complex carbs at one point and reducing them generally but i still don't know what one is. I told her i was feeling deprived of bread and i didn't...

went to bed on 9, woke up on 9, but hubby woke me up moaning at 1.30 this morning he hurt his back on holiday - so told him to shut up and go back to sleep or go downstairs if he couldnt sleep - so its his fault, bet my liver was confused. However sugars seem to be stabling out again tooth...

i just want a biscuit - that isn't made out of ground almonds, which then falls apart. i'd like them to try and make a cake out of ground almonds with healthy icing . however a belgium tesco chocolate eclair is about 10 carbs i admit i did have one and my daughter ate the other 3 but that was...

lol rod - god knows what my brain is thinking about. i didn't connect fight or flight actually - think i'm just confused :)

its a very valid point. last night i had breakfast (bacon, nice sausages, scrambled egg and loads of mushrooms - gone off tomatoes) for my tea, hubby had bacon and sausage butties. youngest had a stuffed crust pizza eldest had toast. (yes i cringe at the carbs in a pizza). I'm more along And...

10.1 for me was 9.3 going to bed (which is good for me lately) , so must be the liver thing again. But did have a stupid dream about aliens taking pictures through the window at work.
