Hi Viv, I know, Im getting small amounts in at the moment, so although it isnt great, its enough to keep me out of the hospital. If I go in and get rehydrated, then as soon as I get out id be in the same position that I was so its easier for me to keep trying to drink at home I think. Im not...

Cool, will take a look, thanks!! :thumbup:

That sounds like something that might be worth looking into. Thanks Angie, will see what I can find!! Daz.

Good morning both, thanks for the replies. Well I have been back and forth to the doctors for 8 months about this problem, but lately it has got a lot worse. I went down to see her on Friday afternoon because I just wasnt able to function and could barely speak. I was with her for 1h 20 mins...

Hi Thanks for the links. Its confusing me because my sugars are ok, and generally normal, its just a case of there being little food in my body, and low hydration, this is why I have the ketones. My body is burning my body fat as it isnt getting enough nutrition. I will keep testing and ring...

Hi Just looking for a bit of info if possible please. I am a very well controlled T2 and not on medication. I have been suffering with a swallowing disorder for months where I basically cannot eat/drink properly. For the past week I havent eaten at all, and barely drank. I have also lost a...

I had mine done last week (Monday) had a very sore arm for a few days, plus mild flu like symptoms till the Saturday, with a very painful headache, it really put me off, however.. My dad who is also diabetic didnt have his jab last year, he caught flu in February this year and 2 weeks later was...

Morning Sid The A1c of 5.2 was achieved without any medication, my metformin was stopped a few months ago, and as I said I have been no angel these past 3 months, so if I get back on track with my eating which I intend to do, then this is the reason I think I may hit the high 4's next time...

Thanks Viv, I do feel quite good about things at the moment, I am going to tighten up a little bit more now and hope to get into the high 4's for next time, they will still check me out but only every 6 months, tho I will keep an eye on my sugars by testing. I wont go back to old ways, Ive been...

Had my blood test 3 months ago and it came back as 5.5. I was then promptly taken off metformin and told I no longer needed it. I wasnt very happy about this, the rebel inside of me kicked in and decided that if the doctors were not going to help me then I wouldnt bother to help myself for 3...

Im pretty confident that I am not going to stop taking them now. Reducing the dose is fine with me, a little that is, but Im not coming off them. As I said I took one earlier and I feel so much better now, like 100% better, and that isnt all in my mind (honest) Regarding the free prescription...

Hi CC I do have a bit of an anxiety problem, but I manage it quite well, this feels really different, its a deep set anxiety and it isnt shifting at all, Im also not sleeping properly and feel a bit detached so there is something wrong, it only started a day or so after I stopped the metformin...

Hi I have been on 2x 750mg SR Metformin for over a year now. Had my HbA1c just over a week ago and it came back at 5.5 - The nurse thinks this is too low so told me to stop taking meds immediately. Meaning I can manage myself on diet and exercise alone. I have done this, but I havent felt...

I would have been out of the house the second I saw them. On the way down to Weymouth a couple of weeks ago, a swarm of wasps rose from the grass verge and smacked into the windscreen of my car, there were loads of them, all windows were open and I am so thankfull that none of them got into the...

Very true Viv, Id be happy to take one per day instead of two, but like you I like the protective nature of them, and since diabetes is progressive id rather stay protected now. Im 35 so have to live with it for a long time (I hope) and although im helping myself ie low carb, I need them to help...
