Hi, a couple of months back I had an inguinal hernia and a gallbladder removal surgery (same time). During the pre op tests everything was ok except my sugar levels (mainly fasting) was coming out high. I was prescribed Dapagliflozin 10 mg in addition to my usual 2000mg Metformin, and surgery...

Hello fellow sugary people :) I need to have surgery for inguinal hernia and gallbladder removal. I've had type 2 for 15 years and have pretty much been in control with my Hba1c at 48 ish range (6.5 old numbering system). My A1c was 48 even this March. Suddenly despite my usual low carb...

Hi, wondering if anyone here has had Covid after being double jabbed, and what that experience was like? I'm double jabbed and fine....but in a real pickle. I have elderly parents in India who would dearly like to come and visit me here in London as it's been 2 years now. (I can't go there for...

Wow, thanks Shelly! Lodough sounds great. I'll have to try it out!

Hi , anywhere I can buy cauliflower/low carb pizza bases in the UK? Doing it from scratch is too much hassle for me. Ready made, frozen or whatever bases is what I want....just add the toppings and oven :)

Thanks for your reply! I'm actually not particularly "trying" to do anything. I'm just feeling alarmed at some unexplained weight loss and why last week thursday I was 65.7kg and in 5 days I'm at 65kg....I lost a few kilos in the past month I think as well..... although because I wasn't even...

Hi, Recently, I seemed to have lost weight without trying, but as I didn't have a scale at home I wasn't sure of what change had occurred. Others commented that I've lost weight and my trousers/clothes gave me a hint that I've lost some weight which I'm not sure can be explained. Anyway, doc...

Thank you :)!
