Thank you

My reading was 78 at one point so I have brought it down before and 54 is not as terrible as it sounds except it alarms my doctor who then sends me letters saying I should buck my ideas up. I will try.

I get PiP and will have to apply for ESA once my job ends. Happy days.

Accessing any support is very difficult. I’ve had four changes of doctor in a year and haven’t met any. Things have changed so much due to Covid. No, my diet is dreadful and although I do try I find the smallest thing sets me back. But thank you for your advice, it is appreciated.

Yes we tried that. My better half got taken sick about 200 yards into our walk and so we had to come home again. Luck is not on our side these days

Switched to slow release and all my symptoms vanished. Much happier on those although I appreciate not everyone gets side effects to the same extent...

First off I am glad that your GP has been brilliant, they do make a big difference when they are. A pity that some people are not so fortunate. I had a breakdown myself so can empathize to an extent, I just hope 2021 brings some much needed cheer for so many of us and an opportunity to live...

My pleasure.

Thanks. Oh, I'll be bound to ignore my own advice lol.

Oh theres no chance of that! lol.

Hi. Its okay to struggle. Its okay not to be full of the joys of spring. 2020 has been a terrible year and its affected all of us to one extent or another. Being diabetic and having other illnesses and problems have only made things seem worse and that's perfectly understandable. If you...
