I have knocked my second toe nail off it’s hanging on at the corner. It’s bled quite a lot. It’s not gushing but still trickling a bit. I can’t cover it as the nail sticks into the wound and I can’t put any antiseptic on it as it’s still bleeding a bit Anyone recommend best course of action...

Yes and I feel a stigma too, sometimes if you tell people they start with the unwanted diet advice! Drives me mad! Here if you ever want to vent :)

[emoji112] hello, I am on a lot of meds similar to most of you i imagine. I recently got new meds , and a lot of online medical interaction checkers dont recognise some and when you have around 5 meds take already how on Earth can I check? Chemists seem reluctant to check too. Just wondering if...

Thank you for your reply , I am having my HBA1C retested in 3 months so fingers crossed. I think I will book a doc appointment and discuss this further whether morning reads are reliable enough or not Thanks

@lovinglife - I test in a morning daily. I was very lacking in energy struggling to walk up hills etc before Jardiance. That was main symptom just feeling ropey. I found previously giving up sweet stuff better as I can’t stop but on this I’m finding sweet treats but still sensible like low...

PS the alternative would have been insulin [emoji22]

@Pipp thank you for your reply. My HBA1C went up to over 100 despite me loosing 3 stone in weight. I tried everything naturally nothing worked. Personal trainers, I gave up fruit completely. Thrush is an issue but was before anyway and doc is giving treatments for that. Having a fruit smoothie...

Hi I am taking Jardiance and finally getting readings around 7 , sometimes slightly higher but not much. Iv realised if I have fewer carbs I can enjoy an odd ice cream or sweet thing. Even fruit and my readings are still low in the mornings Is this ok though do you think?Feels wrong but I guess...

Morning, well I never , finally a reading of 7.5! Since I only started testing when my HbA1c was over 100 , Iv never got down to this in a morning. Started Jardiance and finally , after a year of trying to do it myself. Happy me ,wishing you all a lovely Sunday :)

Thank you for your reply and help, I hope so the headaches are awful [emoji20]

Hi feeling a little down today, I finally got to 7 the other day (blood read) and I had a fake hypo , ate sensible lunch no sugar as understood why. Then had the worst headache /migraine for 7 hours! I’m drinking loads of water. I often get them with fake hypos as a warning sign I just don’t...

9 and half but this is good comparison to what I was new meds. If you are below 7 don’t you panic? What’s lowest before you get concerned pls?

Hello Iv been high so long I don’t know what number I’m actually aiming for! Is it 7? [emoji120] thank you

Hi I am now taking Jardiance and amazed how quickly it’s lower my sugars. I was having a morning read of 15 after just 3 days it’s 9 My question is how do I avoid going too low as this had been very quick?

Thanks I thought it would’ve too but it says on packet don’t drive if it makes you drowsy. Hope il be ok on them thanks again
