Well just so you are aware, I was originally put on Glucophage, I was violently sick and when I took the second I again became very ill. It took several days to get rid and get better. Now, it gets better, after several years my diabetic doctor called me in and under observation told me it was a...

Probably not enough fluids, and whisky does NOT count!

Oh dear I have heard and experienced this all before. I went to the doctor some 16 years ago and knowing G/father and Father had it said I have got diabetes, no she said you have a urinary-tract infection I will send you to a specialist. I said to him that I think the doctor is wrong, I think I...

No surprise on that, I have had so called 3 specialists and 2 said exactly the opposite and the last has changed her attitude especially as she tried to kill me with metformin after she KNEW it gave me severe problems.

It sounds like some sort of system shock or a type of panic attack, answer, do not move!! Wish my problem could be so transient!

Oh just a point, it may take 5 days before the Aerius totally works.

I am type 2 but system insists I am 1 however, mine goes right back to 2001. At Rennes Hospital first injection of Novomix type I had problems, same with Lilley Livemeir after 3 weeks was in heart hospital pains could be observed. Apparently!!! Had allergy tests, nothing had BP of 250/200 after...

System says am type 1 never been its type 2 suffer chest pains + high BP caused by Insulin now doctor confirmed desloratydine stops it!

I am told every time you get pains you must call for help especially as BP goes through the roof! The antihistamine seems to help. The doctor some years ago had an idea. However oh no the pain has been "seen" on heart tests, they are aware it is NOT heartburn as it can be around the left side...

Only 3 times, no problem there then how about 3 in the last month, 3 days in the cardio ward, tests at the local heart hospital, and about 100 visits by ambulance and hospital ED and even an attack whilst visiting a patient in a totally separate hospital. All said it was not the heart nor was it...

Hi Andy see my comments on chest pains and |BP, I have put it all on another thread but here it is again, remeber this is now PROVED and reported to Novo in the UK. Right I have been battling this for 16 years, yet my father had it some 40 years ago and eventually Weymouth hospital put him on...

Just securing a response, if you want a partial copy of the email to Novo then ask.

Hi I do not know, BUT it seems that I am not the only one. I have now CONFIRMED that it is some sort of allergy but it seems normal allergy tests do not pick it up, still just go and see your pharmacy, the anti histermine is freely available and it will cost very little BUT do see your quack and...

Right I have been battling chest pain for 16 years, yet my father had it some 40 years ago and eventually Weymouth hospital put him on Porcine. Now, after many years of diabetic "specialists saying it is not the insulin", YES IT BLOODY WELL IS. I gave up having a jab and also eating and bliss no...

The fact that you got a 12 does not in itself pose a problem, in fact many people who have not been diagnosed with diabetes but in fact a "pre diabetes" may say have something like a steamed pudding and after have bread and butter pudding, 30 minutes later they may have a BS of 14 yet after 2...

Several things, I live in France and am a diabetic. The EU had no problems with me keeping my HGV, the UK would have and in fact the EU kept on at the DVLA about their silly stance. Some EU info, the human rights act may be repealed if the UK leaves the EU. In the event of the UK leaving the EU...

Hi, firstly do not be embarrassed, secondly the toilet is NOT a good place. I wear a kilt actually due originally to another reason but have found that it is eminently suitable to allow me to inject on my thigh without too much problem. I sit against a wall in say a cafe then sort of under the...

It depends for me, on what I eat, I have SERIOUS problems with anything that sniffs of Metformin. Took six weeks to be able to ride my motorcycle after 2 tablets of Metformin in a (French) hospital. Anyway, I am on insulin have been for 14 years, however the feeling unwell will, if you track...

I have been on Insulin from word go. They tried the Glucophage and similar and had serious side effects after just 1 pill. The doctor tried all. However, when you consider I went to her and said I have got diabetes and she said no urinary infection so was sent of to the hospital and as the...

Metformin..you want to know,? well here goes, they tried me on the rubbish some 14 years ago, diarrhoea, throwing up, stomach cramps, muscle ache vision disturbance....after 1 pill. Anyway a stupid doctor lied to me 6 years or so later, and said they wanted to try a new pill and wanted me to be...
