    Forxiga Advice

    Hi, I did ask for that but he was keen to put on the tablet as he said it will help get it under control quicker and it protects your heart. I told him I had concerns after the side effects he mentioned but he said I might not have any so it’s worth a try. I usually think my dr is really good...

    Forxiga Advice

    Hi, I have been T2 for about 5 years but my last 2 hb1ac as seen my levels creep up. I’ve started to cut other things out of my diet which is helping but had a call with my Dr and he want to add 10mg of Forxiga to my 2000mg metformin to bring it down. He has scared the hell out of me with side...

    Kidney Disease

    Thankyou Ellie for your kind words, I hope your right and your reasoning makes sense. Im still struggling to see my GP and the diabetic team, im more annoyed with myself with not pushing for my checkups, covid has been hard for doctors but it feels like I have slipped through the net.

    Ridges on toenails

    I will go and see a chiropodist, didn’t think of that. I think they may be Beaus lines looking at google which may be related to diabetes. I think back to regular testing for me, I really hate this disease

    Ridges on toenails

    Diabetic Diarrhoea

    Ok bit if an update, I’m seeing much better blood sugar control and getting readings into the 6s so happy with that. I am still suffering with diarrhoea but struggling with my doctor. I spoke to him about it and he said it wouldn’t be the sukkurto and will change the medication but he does...

    Any advice for a t2

    Hi, I am in a similar place but my readings where much much higher, I was hitting 25 at times. I was diagnosed about 4 years ago and spent a lot of time doing low carb and finding a balance. I could tolerate weetabix back then. Due to covid and a few other things I went off the rails but now...

    Need help again

    I think the problem I may have is the diabetic doctor I used to have has now retired and she was good with medication but wasn’t the friendliest. The new diabetic doctor we have is very young, he’s friendly but it feels like your talking to google. To be honest it’s upto to me to manage it and...

    Need help again

    I’ve spoke to my doctors over the phone and they say the will get me in as soon as possible for my diabetic review. I have mentioned the diarrhoea to them before and all he says is it won’t be the medication even though I only started suffering since starting it albeit 4 years ago. I did ask the...

    Diabetic Diarrhoea

    Yes it’s sukkarto, always been that stuff since I have been on it. My doctor is a little useless in some ways as he says that it can’t be the tablets as the side effects would have gone by now. It’s not a constant thing and I can go weeks between suffering and then all of a sudden I suffer. It...
