Hi again, Well I have been T2 for a few months now and my last hba1c was 7.8 up from 6.9 last time. Not doing very well am I. Question: Do I have to inform the DVLC about my diabetes? Been driving for about 30 years now.

I have CKD stage 3. This was caused by High blood pressure. High blood pressure is a silent killer because sometimes we have no symptoms at all or none that we notice. In my case I got lucky (Not sure if that is the right word LOL) and was very sick one week and the doctor was very worried about...

Geeez. I don't know why I listen to my doctor. Waste of space if you ask me. Go on a high carb diet, lots of rice and pasta and bread It will help your levels, she said. Eat wheatabix for breakfast she said. Don't eat lots of veg and salad because it is bad for you and you will feel weak she...

Thanks, I will learn to watch my energy levels. I still think I am 20 years old and fit as a fiddle. The family also puts a lot on me because I never say NO to them. I am going to have a meeting with my family and explain that I am not 20 anymore and that I need some space now to recover from...

Yesterday I took my Bg before breakfast on waking and it was 9.3 had breakfast, then 2 hrs later felt very dizzy and sweating like mad. Took BG and it was 2.9 Is that normal?

I have had leg pains for about 8 months before my doctor told me I am diabetic. I am on diet only for now and doing the low Gl thing. I used to get the pain every night but it seems to be getting less frequent now. The tablets the doctor gave me relax my leg muscles and my bladder at night so...

Hi again, Sorry to ask so many questions. This one is about the awful pains I get in my legs especially at night in bed or after excercise. I don't get them all the time just now and then. Say 2 times a week. Will these pains go away as my levels come down? The doctor gave me some tablets to...

mmmm I see what you mean about the level peaking after my Byriani. There was a 4 hour gap I just thought that 6.7 was very good 4 hrs after a meal. OK I will keep a closer watch on my Bg but I will have to start buying my own strips because the nurse only lets me have 50 at a time. She...

I have Just recieved the book I ordered from Amazon.The 7 Day GL Diet. I do get things right sometimes. OK, Lucky guess LOL. I just wanted to check that I was on the right path. Now I just need an excercise programme to help me use weight. The nurse said to take up swimming. But I think I...

Hi all, I had my first meeting this morning with the nurse and she was well pleased with the way I am controlling my diabetes and decided to not to recommend medication until my next visit in January but only if my levels are up a little. Very borderline for med's yet. The nurse made me an...
