Apologies for late reply. Well despite what the nurse said about the thirst and excess urination being my diabetes and not the meds she dropped me to 5mg Forxiga and added 80mg Gliclazide for my holiday. The excessive thirst and urination dropped off dramatically so I'm only really having to...

I'm having a nightmare on Forxiga. My HBA1c had gone too high to 77 so was put on 5mg of Forxiga as well as slow release Metformin I've been on for years. Three months later it had dropped to 61. My mother then passed away and whilst no excuse I became silly with comfort eating and it jumped...

Really? Wow I absolutely hate swede or at least I did when I knew I was actually eating Swede! Funny how the mind works on the taste buds as I like these!

I had some mussels to start!! I'm not too bad now actually. Quite surprised as with say smoked cod fillets or an omelette I'm still hungry afterwards. Looking forward to trying these with bolognaise. Sainsbury did a low carb noodle but they were thicker and quite tasteless. These are thinner...

Just a thought as this happened to me. Are you on any blood pressure meds and if so have they been changed? My GP swapped me from Amlodipine to Ramipril several months back ands I noticed on my daily walk or on the golf course I was sweating profusely to the extent of discomfort. Wasn't sure...

Well it never rains but pours! At the skin doctor all the sun spots on face were fine and then I ask as I live alone is it worth having a torso screening at the GP's every so often? She seemed a bit put out but said she would have a check and noted a mole that looked fine to the naked eye but...
