Has any been through the 7.5T license application and medical? Or any HGV license with type 2 diabetes. I am on metformin and nothing else. I know there are different rules for insulin treated diabetics. I am booked in for my medical next week and was wondering if there is anything particular I...

No worries I didn’t think there was much choice other then the usual foods. My brain is at a point where it refuses to let me even think about them without feeling sick. Same goes for broccoli and garlic at the moment haha. Hopefully il get over it soon. But I have learnt over the past 6 months...

Oh i usually go to the gym straight after work and then I have my own furniture making business so I’m then in my work shop. Super busy oh and I’m dealing with my 1 year old in between all of that you can see how meals can be a problem and boredom isn’t haha

I’m a bin man so I’m walking around 10 miles a day. There’s no time for meals. Until the evening. I also start early and I can’t eat before work and again can’t eat a proper breakfast while at work with being constantly on the move. So I need to snack to carry me through to when I eventually get...

Exactly hahaha. But I do like your suggestion very much!

Does anyone have any ideas for snacks that’s not the usual Cheese, nuts, eggs, cold meat, avocado etc. I have had so much of these my stomach turns at just the thought of them. I’m hoping this will wear eventually but I’m really struggling with finding alternatives.

Thanks guys. Yeah the letter does say no further action is necessary. The guy that took the pictures was really good and talking me through them and explained what I was looking at on the images. He said at the time there was nothing there that stood out but obviously would be sent to the GP for...

So my eye screening results have finally come back to say I have some background retinopathy. Not much else was on the letter in terms of what that means. From what I can gather it’s obviously not good and it’s the first sign of damage [emoji45]. Just the sort of thing I needed to hear while...

Yeah I thought hypos were a type 1 thing. But just thought I would ask just incase as it’s the first time I have been shakey like that. I wouldn’t usually feel hungry either not long after eating. I suppose I should see it as a good thing then in my case.

Yeah as I understand anything under 4 is considered hypo. If it happens again and I feel them symptoms should I eat or not. I don’t want to eat and raise them up if not necessary.

Hi guys Me again. Just got back from work. Just said to the wife feel like I need to eat something then realised I was trembling a bit. Checked my bloods and it said 4.6 lowest I have ever seen it. I ate 2 hours ago so not like I haven’t been eating. I even had a naughty sausage roll this...

Thank you. The doctors have yet to contact me. I have access to all my test results through the NHS app. Unfortunately I have not heard from my diabetic nurse since diagnosis and I had to chase up this blood test and foot test my self in the first place. I have not had anything explained to me...

Oh thanks for that. Just assumed it was an average.

Definitely not coffee. But is that result not a 3 month average? Or does it not work the same as the glucose test.

I also can not remember what I ate but the bloods were taken at 8.30 in the morning so don’t think I would have had anything to eat. But I would have had the evening meal the day before around 19.30
