It diabetic Maculopathy and I need treatment so have been referred. 13 week wait. Apologises I wasn’t very clear in my initial post.

Hi all. I’m only 48 yes old and I’ve now been referred to the hospital with a view to discuss treatment. I have no idea how bad things are but it is causing a lot of anxiety. I’m so concerned about going blind. Has anyone had treatment that was successful? Thank you in advance

I am so impressed after reading the link you sent me. Can I ask the days your not fasting what is your carb intake? And do you ever have a bar of chocolate occasionally? That's my weak spot amd crisps.

Thank you all so much for responding to me. Ill be doing some research at the weekend. I just got off tje phone from the GP who said do you realise why we are so strict on keeping blood sugars stable if you were 75 I wouldn't be concerned. My empaglifozin has been reduced back to 20mgs and...

Hi there. I posted on Ask a question but no response. I'm wondering has anyone tried fasting and has it helped with you Blood sugars? My last HBA1C was 88mmols. I'm on 2 g of metformin and 50mds of empagliflozin which I have dropped to 25 as not tolerating. I'm exceriseing but still have a...

Thank you. I wasn't prescribed anything to check my ketones. I purchased urine dip sticks myself after my last kidney infection. I'm on a low carb diet but intermittently go over my carb allowance.

Hi. My Synjardy has been increased from 20mgs once a day to 50mgs. It seems a lot and now I've developed a kidney infection with a small amount of ketones. I was fine on tje 20mgs dose. Anyone managing 50mgs of Synjardy and 2000mgs of metformin without any side effects please?

Hi all. Initially on netformin 850 and empagliflozin 12.5mg in one tablet. Diabetic Nurse has now changed this to metformin 2grams twice a day and 1pmg Empagliflozin 10mgs twice a day. Anyone else on this regime and was it ok? Lisa

Thank you. I find them so pushy. They laugh at me when I say no thank you. Great to see you Colesterol drop. Was this through diet?

I will look up lipids and the ratio. Hopefully she will talk through the results with me.

I have the diabetic nurse calling me on Friday. No doubt to discuss stating. Is there an alternative? I know they reduce the bad fat but conversely have other side effects. Apologies for the heading predicted text. x
