Yes, he is on metformin and another 3 tablets twice a day cant remember what they are, though one is for controlling cholesterol Another thing is the last few days he has two bouts of near passing out due to low blood sugar levels(he previously only suffered from high blood sugar) this, after...

Hi there My boyfriend has recently seem to have acquired a heightened sense of smell, especially where food is concerned, the smallest thing can turn him off food, he says he can smell body odour on him when i cant smell anything (and my sense of smell is usually quite acute) Is this another...

I did yesterday it was 7.2 which isnt too bad is it?

He is still having the cold sweats just before waking in the morning. I spoke to him about it and he said he had been having the cold sweats for about 4 years on and off. I spose if it was something serious it would have been picked up in blood tests etc.??

Hi, sorry not been on for a while but things have been really busy at home.Last week boyfriend went for blood tests and they came back at 6.2. The doc says she is really really pleased with him and has never seen someone get their diabetes under control as quickly and as well as he has done. She...

Another thing is it normal for diabetics to have cold sweats in the morning. Boyfriend wakes up nearly every morning in a cold sweat.x

Sorry forgot to mention on this post that he is diabetic, his diabetes was getting under control and was hovering between 6-7 which was a grand improvement on 20 odd and his sight was terrible but every now and again his sight seems to waver and we worry it will go back to how it was, scary! On...

Hi everyone Boyfriend has had problems with his eyes again, his eyesight went bad for a few days last week but has settled back down again(although it wasnt as bad as it went before) are these fluctuations normal?x

Heres another new problem folks.What the hell next! :cry: Boyfriend has found a lump in his testes - i have looked on the net and though diabetes seems to have a link with this i cant seem to find any other info? Does anyone else have any experience in this.

Hi i fully sympathise with your frozen shoulder having suffered myself a few years ago, never would have thought that it could cause so much pain. Luckily i am not a diabetic so dont know how much worse it is for you but it took me a good 9 months of painful exercise and physio and i had to...

Hi, thanks for your replies. Is a hypo caused by a low blood sugar? He never seems to have a low blood sugar, its high if anything - are the symptoms the same? He is a lot better today, i will check his medication to see if it is what you said - what annoys me is that no info seems to be given...

By the way is 6-7 still really bad as BS goes or are some people at that level anyway? What is the norm?x

Hi everyone, not been on for a while, boyfriend was getting a lot better, he had upped his tablets and taken onboard another type and his BS was down between the 6-7 mark, still not ideal but when you think it was in the 20's, his eyesight is now back to normal which is another plus. What...

Hi all just thought i would let you that although boyfriends BS is still up and down, his eyesight has improved greatly which is a great relief to us both. I know that this will be extremely hard for him as to him it means a whole lifestyle change but it it is great to know that you guys are on...
