Merry Christmas. Enjoy your day whatever you choose to do.

There is one here. https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/where-to-start.210877/#post-2787181

Hi @Zammo, I’m sorry you are still worrying about neuropathy. I remember from your earlier post that your doctor thought your pain was due to a back problem. Did the exercises he gave you help at all? If not have you been back to see them? Who do you see to monitor your diabetes? Can you get...

I am sure the libre 1 had a different sensor to the libre2. Librelink can be used on an iPhone without a reader but I’m sure your friend will need to set up an account.

40mg of Gliclazide is a very small starting dose (the max dose is 160g) so whilst it’s good to be aware of the possibility of hypos it’s unlikely given your current levels and the dose that it will happen. Are you aware of the signs of a hypo? It’s good to understand that even if you start to...

Hi and welcome, First of all….and this is easier to say than do….take a deep breath, don’t panic, this isn’t the end of the world. You’ve done the right thing by coming here and we can help support you. I’ve never heard of a health navigator either, and I’m not sure what their point is if all...

Spearmint polos are not sugar free. You could swap them for the mint sugar free ones.

GPs/diabetic nurses will generally prescribe a generic medicine if medication is needed, and the pharmacist will dispense whichever brand they have. What has your GP recommended?

Has your GP recommended medication?
