loved every minute of reading this thread...thanks everyone..Emerald

Ah you know what they say..the Almighty appears in many forms.

I agree to run it by your GP. I had pins and needles in my left hand, I mentioned it to my doctor and after some tests at the hospital, I had a trapped nerve in my elbow. Had it operated on about 2months ago and it is really improved. All the best. Emerald

Appreciate your input. I think some or all of the medical profession [ I wouldn't like to say] are of the opinion Type 2's don't need to check sugar levels unless they are on medication that puts them at risk of Hypoglycemia. They feel the 3 monthly check is sufficient. I had to prove my case to...

In order to find his equal an Irish man is forced to converse with the almighty.

When I read what you said about chocolate to my husband he laughed and said ' that must be your favorite post yet' he knows me well. Thank you so much. Emerald.

So Emerald can wax Eloquently. Ah it does me good to be appreciated.

On my journey I need help mates and many of you qualify on this site. Thanks once again. My doctor says to much info for the lay people is unhelpful, ah what qualifies a lay diabetic, certainly not one who is diabetic.Being as a Johnny Five, I love to know. Yep I qualify for all three mentioned...

Thank you so much, what a relief. Reactive Hypoglycemia is worthy of further study. I was interested to read that the Bacteria Helicobactor Pylori is linked to reactive H; I have the bacteria it's been treated twice, but refuses to go. That is worth looking at. Thanks you so much. If anyone else...

Hi there nice to hear from you again. It sounds like you are where I was some years ago. So there is hope. Having a combination of conditions means we have to be good jugglers. I found it so distressing being diagnosed with Diabetes. I had years of low sugars and learning to listen to my body...

Hi again, I forgot to mention, there are times that even when I have done all I can do and eaten sufficient, I just simply go Hypo. That I would love to understand, so I will keep researching this. Cheers

I was gobsmacked to read your reply..I know it's the pits when your sugars drop like that. The same thing has happened to me, it's crazy.I got a real bad low in Ireland, so I made for the nearest pub,I don't drink but well a pub is a pub, the landlords wife is a diabetic. I do not exaggerate I...

Hi Thank you so much for responding. A little history. The hypoglycemia started 1999-2000. It was debilitating, would leave me feeling exhausted,I would have the usual hunger, weakness shaking and like a panic attack and would last about 45minutes. I could not predict it and it would happen a...

I am in the rare position of having 2 separate conditions, on the one hand I have the condition Hypoglycemia and on the other hand I have diabetes type 2. My doctor tells me this is rare. The diabetics uk also tell me this is rare. But what no one can tell me is what to do about it. I have...

keeping mine crossed for you two...best of luck....
