My doctor keeps asking me to go on metformin, ime so far controlling my T2 with diet alone and have been doing so for nearly 2 1/2 years. She says that new thinking is that all T2s should be on it after 6 months whether they control their diabetes with diet or not. Ime still not too happy to go...

Cheers bud, very kind of you to say so. Andy

Went to see the Doc this morning, she wasnt worries, told me it was only a trace at 4.600 mg/mmol. however, my blood pressure was slightly high so am now on the smallest dose of rampiril. HbA1c stayed the same at 47, a figure its been at for the last 18 months so no better but no worse. Andy

Thanks guys, ile let you know how things go, fingers crossed its an infection but knowing my luck these days it wont be!! Mum passed away in August, at least she didnt have to go into a home which was her greatest fear. Andy

Hi Paul, i dont know if they have, ile ask tomorrow but i did ask them to do a pretty thorough test on everything. Been feeling slightly out of sorts of late, nothing serious, just pretty tired. Ile ask Doc tomorrow as ive not seen the results as yet. Andy

Hi all, been doing very well with diet etc until recently. Had a blood and urine test a week ago and now the doc wants to see me about protein in my urine sample. I am going to see her tomorrow morning to discuss things. Havnt had any symptoms other than have been feeling really tired of late...

Do you want to lose it all? Andy

Hi all, been away from the forum for a while, been busy with mum etc and pleased to say that i am still controlling my T2 diabetes with diet. However, i am going away for 10 days next week to Cornwall and i have decided to relax the diet a bit. I have been everso strict with myself these last 6...

Hi, i dont know why but being diabetic for 18 months or so hasnt phased me at all. Just had to cope with it and get on with my life. Glad ime doing it with diet alone. It has however made me very aware of what i eat and i will say that of late i have been getting very fed up with my diet...

I find a couple of toasted Burgen bread slices with loads of butter covered in marmite is great for breakfast and hardly affects my bloods at all and i am on a virtually carb free diet, been so for nearly a year now. As its my birthday today, let go a bit, baked taters, sausages n bacon plus...

Hi bud, i would certainly go low carb, it will improve your BG readings but certainly wouldnt eat porridge for breakfast. bacon and eggs much better for you. Also, wouldnt touch the jacket potatoes, probably one of the worst type of carb for a diabetic. I wouldnt have too many carrots...

Had my first eye test for 11 years since having them lazered, having been short sighted and worn glasses for 30+ years to find that there was no degradation whatsoever nor any potential diabertic complications so well pleased. Do get halos around car headlights whilst driving at night but only...

Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn 6 this morning so a bit better. Andy

Well done, shows all the hard work, and it can be, was well worth it. Keep it up. Andy
