That's great sounds like my practice nurse she is so supportive in everything i do and suggest and is open to new ideas and she was even the one to suggest i lower my carb intake and pointed me in the direction of this website!

yeah i've been unable to use crutches due to my hand and i also suffer with angina so hopping with the frame they gave me is agony with constant chest pains. Luckily my nana used a wheelchair which she no longer uses as now house bound, so able to push myself round in that. It's been a godsend...

Hi guys I haven't been on here or posted for such a long time. I have recently had a fall at work and broken my tibia bone in my leg near my knee and also broken my hand in 2 places. I was just wondering if anyone has suffered any broken bones and has diabetes in any way prolonged your...

My GP and nurse asked me last week how I'd massively dropped HBA1C from in the 80's to my latest one at 41 last week. Told them I had reduced my carbs and low carbing. They were both very impressed and supportive Well done on your progress I too am unable to tolerate any type of metformin so...

Hi @ickihun I've had 2 angiograms. One in the groin and one in the wrist. Both pain free and was in and out within a few hours of both. Good luck, hope you're not waiting too long and hope you're feeling better soon. X

Awwww well done I was diagnosed in April 2011 and I am only just getting my bloods under control. Really pleased for you.

Hi @lshi I completely changed my eating habits cut down on the carbs and snacking between meals and I also ensured I exercised more as well. Hope this helps I'm also on pioglitazone 30mg daily and aloglipton 45mg. I couldn't tolorate metformin. Good luck

Have to agree @chalup I was struggling for years and finally first low hba1c and stop meds if i'd had good control for a couple of results or consistently low for a number of hba1c tests then I would have felt differently about stopping medication. @Enclave I haven't been actively low carbing...
