Thanks for your reply Mark. My husband knows now so he’s going to the surgery with me in the morning first thing. I’m not very confident when it comes to dealing with people behind plastic screens who love the power they have

Thanks Pipp, have been fortunate enough never to have had to call 111, so hopefully it won’t come to that

Hi, can anybody help. I’m going away on hols on 28th (in the uk) this week so I requested my repeat dapaglofloxin on 22/10/25 along with amlodipine so I can pick them up tomorrow from the pharmacy. I added in the comment section for the doctor that I am going away and need to pick the script up...

Thanks so much for the positive feedback, I’m feeling much more positive now and since posting I recieved a text from the practice nurse who said the results were good and she will arrange a retest in 6 months. So will endeavour to keep up the good work and not give in to temptation especially...

Thank for your helpful reply, definitely given me a bit of hope and put my mind at ease. My nurse(who is really approachable and helpful) didn’t really commit one way or the other re carb daily target And just advised eating healthy. So I’m trying to stick to eating non processed food at the...

Just been put on meds for T2D after an HbA1c of 79 and given dapagliflozin. I was already peeing a lot because of untreated diabetes and was told how these tabs work, but was not expecting to be going to the loo every 20 mins! Anyone else on this med who experienced this when they first started...
