    Finally a call from my DN

    Evening all. After a real **** day yesterday as some of you may have read. I had my long awaited phone call from my diabetic nurse. With pen and paper in hand and a list of questions I wanted to ask her I set about hopefully getting the answers I was after. I say hopefully with an air of sarcasm...

    Baby steps

    After lots of replies to my introductory post I am starting the carb cutting. Up until yesterday my carbs for the day were 150+. With my first few tweeks I gave managed to drop to 98 yesterday and today. Today's would have been better but it was only after logging my tomato cup a soup I saw how...

    Would have no idea about the full lipid panel sorry. As for the statins it was as soon as I hit 40 I was put on them. Without asking I have no idea what my cholesterol was at the time?

    Been on statins for past 7 years. I changed to the ones I'm on now about 4 years ago as the first ones slowed/stopped my weight loss. I will however look into them with regards to upping my sugar level.

    I had renal failure back in 2003 brought on by a heavy mixture of medicines for my gout. A year later and still to date my kidney function is normal and was checked before I was given empagliflozin. They will of course check full blood count in 10 weeks. I agree I will take it slow and monitor...

    Oh for god sake, I'm on statins as well plus steroids (which I know play hell with levels). It's going to be a big re education, not just for me but for the wife as well. I have just had a read through the links on your bio and like it says we have all been told low fat calorie controlled diet...

    Wow! I'm not trying to be difficult with any of my comments so please don't see it that way. In the last 2 weeks it's gone from nothing to 500mph with 0% info from my doctor or so called diabetic nurse. It was your hba1c is 64, your cholesterol is a little up, here take this tablet drink plenty...
