I have been taking victoza injection pen for over 6 months now, and I have seen remarkable improvement in my blood sugar levels. Having got them down from 32 to 7.8 and to have been able to lose a considerable amount of weight. I was feeling a lot better in myself, up until recently when I had...

Sounds quite yummy, it's a shame I didn't see this before I chucked away a punnet of cranberries that my daughter wanted to try. She said they were too bitter for anything, I will have to try and get some more to give this a go. Could you freeze the mixture once it's made to stop it going bad...

I'm in a similar place to you, I'm taking 1g Metformin sr and 160 glyclazide twice a day, my sugar levels are up and down too. I've been told that I might have to take insulin, but the nurse is trying me on Emagliflozin, which is supposed to make me wee out more of the sugar to bring my blood...

I've had high blood sugar levels ( between HI and 10.6) For the past 8 months. The doctors and diabetic specialist are trying different medication to see what they can do to bring it down to around 6-7 at present I take 1gram Metformin twice a day and 160mg of glyclazide twice a day. I'm also...

I've got very little idea what this libre is. Although reading some of the answers, I am guessing it's a thing that you stick to your arm which reads your blood sugar levels without you needing to stab yourself in the finger to get a drip of the red juice. I do hope that you have managed to get...

I have bought everything myself ever since my doctor said that she wouldn't let me have a test kit with the strips, lancets and pen and the little machine. The reason she gave was because I was only type 2 diabetic I didn't need to test my blood sugar levels each day. After spending a month in...

I love reading about your day.. The picture of the tree is flipping good too [emoji4] I used to love art when I was younger, I do the photo taking now though, I found I had to be in a certain frame of mind to do drawing else it would go wrong...I'd love to see how this tree turns out, since you...

Thanks so much for getting back to me on this. My BSL this morning was 17.1 and I have been very stressed for quite some time. I've spoken to the diabetic specialist about the things I'm eating and she said that she can't see anything that is likely to be causing my BSL to stay that high. She...

Hello, I'm new here although I have been a silent reader of various topics without contributing for a few years. i have type 2 diabetes and I'm having a lot of trouble with my blood sugar levels. I'm certain that it started with my craving for grapes. I just couldn't get enough of them. I would...

I've never been asked for a foot test.. is it something that is usually done when you go for a yearly checkup.? I'm sorry for being so thick, it's just that my previous doctor never explained anything about diabetes to me. Just put me on Metformin twice a day and told me I had type 2 diabetic...

Hi, this is the first time I have asked a question about my diabetes and I'm nervous incase I seem like an idiot. I've had type 2 diabetes for several years, and had been taking 850mg of Metformin twice a day since diagnosis. I'm 54 years old and very overweight. I'd been feeling under the...

Hello, I'm new here and have been type 2 diabetic for about 5 years, up until last year I didn't take my blood sugar levels as my GP told me that I didn't need to as I was only type 2 diabetic. But since going into hospital last year for other health issues and being asked what my sugar levels...

Hello, this is my first time reaching out here, and I'm really nervous. I have been type 2 diabetic for the past 5-6 years, and was put on to metformin 850 by my GP.. She had always been adamant that I didn't need to take my blood sugar levels as I didn't use insulin. Imagine my surprise when...
