So this morning I had to wake up pretty early for a course I've been attending. I bought a big can of Dandelion and burdock on the way and drank it at about 10:00am, it's now 5:00pm and I feel like I've been hit by a bus, Not sure if its down to high blood sugar though. Can the sugar from that...

Ah yeah I have not updated that yet. My diabetic nurse put me on metformin. And last one ws 7 point something. I can't find my booklet at the moment :mrgreen:

OK so I went to the doctors the other day regarding concentration problems. He told me to stop all medication I'm taking INCLUDING Metformin. Now I am sceptical about this because I'm sure the medication wouldnt cause problems like that. Everyones saying because I'm 21 its suprising that I'm on...

My first question is, Can carbs/sugar from the previous night effect you in the following days to come? I had a takeaway with my friend last night since we hadn't seen each other in a while which consisted in kebab and pizza. I started feeling really low and assumed this was my body and...

Hi guys, Just wanted to know if anyone else has similar experiences after sugar? I woke up this morning and took my metformin with breakfast and my half antidepressant and went off to work at my voulenteer job. I've felt fantastic and happy all day. Now after lunch I may have snuck some cake...

It's a funny old world we live in when having a slice of pizza and a glass of milk can send you into what seems like an endless depression. I've spend the entirety of today feeling on top of the world: smiling at anyone i had to talk to, and all because I woke up earlier than i usually do.I even...

Yeah I'm not gonna lie page 2 overwhelmed me a lot :) but I appreciate that people are trying to find the best solution for me. As for the "Yummy foods" I'm pretty much in love while boiled chicken and salads, I only drink water and greasy stuff puts me off but i love veggies :). I'm not big...

Well I've been feeling like this for quite a while, It was worse when I took that reading because a few hours before I had eaten some roast potatoes with tomato sauce and it made me feel horribly depressed (and by this my head felt abysmal). I have been taking antidepressants so I'm wondering if...

Ok so i just gave it another go and i got 5.5mmol. it seems it does suck the blood on but not enough was gathering when i put it on the strip

I do have a meter but I'm really confused in working it. Sometime i put the blood on and i get an error so it gets frustrating

Maybe it's a trapped nerve? I'm pretty sure if this is the case it will go away in a while but i don't know lots about the subject. Just thought I'd try and input :) I hope you feel better SAP

OK so I'm trying not to unload all my problems on you guys but I would appreciate some serious help. As i said I am new to diabetes and have just been diagnosed. My name is Matt and I'm 21. I have been having really bad problems with confusion, low concentration and depression and was...
