Thankyou Daisy1, mickbat and MCMLXXXIII :)

Hi I am a t2 and have recently been checking my blood glucose by buying my own meter and test strips. I am doing this because I want to know what foods affect me and so as I can regulate my diet! Problem is my readings always seem to be on the high side no matter what I eat. My readings are...

Re: type 2 ..will it lead to injecting insulin within 10 yea Thanks Pav. That's what I thought would happen. :( Our only hope is that they will somehow find a cure for diabetes then! :think: :crazy:

Hi I'm 65 years old dx type 2 and have been on Metformin 500gm for just over 18 months. My last Hbac1 reading was 6.5 I am trying to adjust my diet to be sugar free and low carbs. Question is does the body get resistant to Metformin and gradually the daily dosage needs to increase...and maybe...

Hi All .. Thanks for all your input. I thought this would be a common problem amongst Diabetics. My DN when examining my feet just shrugged and said "oh you've got toenail fungus" as if it was the norm! I shall try some tea tree oil as suggested . My nails don't seem to grow very fast so I...

Hi I am t2 diabetic. I have toenail fungus on at least 3 toenails. I have just tried Boots advanced footcare fungal nail treatment pen. It didn't work. I was wondering if anyone can post a link to a treatment that does work! ? thanks :wink:

To nomistheman, Dennis, Yorksman Thank you all so much for your input on this matter. I shall persevere and check up on all sorts of topics on this site. It's good to hear from folks who really understand my situation. Thanks.

hi Cinderella. This condition is so confusing. I am nearly 65 and at the moment I can cope (just) with my diet. But I worry that when I get older maybe I won't be able to! I do exercise (dog walking) and am always on the go. But trying to motivate myself into anything more strenuous is a pain! I...

Hi I have been dx type 2 since dec 2011. Recently I decided to buy my own meter and test strips. I have been testing at different times of the day. I am trying very hard to beat this condition but as yet not in the least bit succeeding! My readings are sometimes within range 2 hours after meals...

Phil.... Thank you so much for that link. I've read through all 12 pages of it. I will print some of it out and use as a guideline. It's just what I wanted but couldn't find it anywhere. I find the whole aspect of diabetes overwhelming but this info will surely put me on the right path to...

Hi Can someone send a link to basic foods that are suitable for a diabetic diet! Thanks. :?

Hi I have been dx type 2 for over a year now. My HbA1C has gone down from starting at 49 to 43. I take 5oo mg Metformin. I have recently bought my own BG monitoring kit. I have been increasing my exercise (fast walking and a fitness DVD) but unfortunately my readings have gone up from an...

Denise. Thank you for that information. I will check up on the Codefree .. This option seems to be the most convenient for me as I just want to find out what food I can tolerate without my readings going too high. From your readings you look to be winning ...good luck to you.. Thanks Liz

Hi Maddiemo. This is the question that I asked but as yet have not received a response. Hope you get more interest than I have from this forum! :eh: :thumbdown:

Hi I was diagnosed as t2 last april . My HbAIc was then 49 . Since then I have succeeded in losing weight, taking more exercise, sticking to a GI diet and generally looking after myself. Recent blood tests my HbA1c was down to 43. I was put on 40mg simvastatin, 5 mg Ramipril as this is the...
