Hi all, I have been offered the opportunity to work for a company which specialises in the gift industry. Although I will be self-employed, the job involves visiting work places showing gifts and leaving them there, coming back to fulfil orders. I have never disclosed my diabetes, and don't...

Hi Smidge, No! At the grand old age of 42 and with 4 children, I am most definitley not pregnant!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: No not at the menopause yet, and the desire is there every single day.......... :***: :shock: :crazy: :eh: :eh: :eh: Thanks for your suggestion though...

I would appreciate some advice please. As the title suggests, I have in recent weeks developed a craving for chocolate only. Not just any chocolate, but special caramel types. I want this in place of breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In fact, this is does constitute my daily diet. I don't eat...

Thank you all for your advice. I was drinking alcohol. I am on metformin SR but it doesn't bring it down very much.The higher I am the better I feel physically. At the surgery I did a wee test and the nurse found ketones although I had been eating as usual. This diabetes thing is so confusing...

I usually have high blood sugars, always in the early twenties, but this evening felt weak: my legs wobbly and head feeling fuzzy :crazy: So I took a reading and found that it was down to 14! This is low for me, and this was a reading after I had a pasta meal.. Anyone any advice? Really...

Hi everyone, Hi Chrissie, sorry to hear you are still feeling bad. :( I am now on 1gram (2x500mg) of metformin a day now. I think they are putting me up abit each week. I don't seem to suffer any probs as yet! :mrgreen: The thing is that I take so many tabs anyway so even if I was I...

Hi Chrissie, I am really pleased for you :mrgreen: :D :) :P . It is my 3rd day of taking metformin mr today. I don't feel completely better and my bg is still mid-twenties. I do have some pain around my back and kidneys but I will stick it out until my next doctor visit...........
