Hi all. What I am interested in is whether anyone is currently able to have their prescriptions filled, either for Victoza or Ozempic. Is anyone getting these meds? Or are we all having to do without?

I’ve read the news stories and forum postings about the shortage and how to handle it. I’m wondering where all the meds are actually going? How does NHS actually decide which of us patients get our prescriptions filled, and which of us must go without? I had a heart attack May 22, so I was...

After two of the four group meetings, I think there is good value in this programme. The dietician at my meetings is knowledgeable, but I'm impressed with the individualised approach and personal support offered. For example, they are supportive of my reduced-carb diet because it's working for...

What kind of work do you like to do?

Hi Cozy. It's a lot to take on board. I remember the first thing I did was get online, and I found this forum. The second thing I did was stop eating all refined sugars. Then after a few weeks, several pounds lost, and blood sugar readings beginning to lower, I started to calm down. It will...

Thanks Doug. Useful perspective.

I'm registered to go to 4 sessions, once a week, starting tomorrow. I wondered if anyone has been along to these NHS-approved groups, and if so, did you find it useful or worthwhile? I attended the half-day nutrition information course, and was really surprised to find out how many people...

It sounds like it could be thrush. Deffo see your GP.

I've been trying it for a few weeks now. I like the data entry screens. It would be helpful if I could connect my meter and let my readings upload. Some of the report graphs seem to be buggy. I did report this, but no one got back to me. It makes me wonder about the support for the system from...

Kelly's Cornish Clotted Cream ice cream. http://www.kellysofcornwall.co.uk/products/home/clotted_cream/ We score the 1 litre 'loaf' into 8 portions. Each of those 125g portions has 12g carbs. That 125g is a pretty generous portion. If you halve that, you have a taster of something wonderful...

Hi Roxy, I'm sure someone with more knowledge than me will come along. But in the meantime, Don't Panic! Lots of things can raise your morning BG. It could have to do with what you ate the day before. It might be some stress response. I have that 'dawn phenomenon' where my Bg is the highest...

I don't have any info for you, sorry. But I see underneath this posting several other threads that have discussed 'circulation booster' and you might find info there?

Excellent, easy to understand explanation. Thanks for posting this! Ottermoon

Occasionally I read a book that challenges beliefs I've held all my life. Gary Taubes' books are a prime example. I had my husband, the scientist, read it, and he could find no large gaps in the man's logic. (And he usually does find large logic gaps in some of the things I toss his way with a...

Slim Fast, coming second, is not the same as slimming world. At least I'm pretty sure not. The diet reviews in this link are from an .American organisation. Ottermoon
