Zindaclin gel

I thought that but was given an antibiotic cream which has worked wonders. I tried canisten before I went to the doctors, it had no effect

What sort of vinegar did you use in the washing machine if u do t mind me asking?

Hmmm some interesting replies so thank you and good for thought. My doctor gave me an antibiotic gel to put on for 3 months just struggling with whether it’s actually working or not as I haven’t seen a significant improvement yet. The lumps in my groin area where a cause for concern on my behalf...

Warning if you of a nervous disposition please don’t read any further So having had type 2 for nearly 6 years this year I got my usual itchiness around my groin area I always get it when it’s warmer. This year I got a boil or two which has never happened and I also developed a ‘floater’ in...

Nice to hear from you Lamont D. Where you based in Liverpool? I was from 2 dogs fighting Believe me Athens is manic you should try driving here I thought Italy was mad plus yes the weather is better than the UK at the moment but I’m ****** that I’ve been wearing long trousers (or trackies) for...

My sleep is the same although after a back operation in July this year I have started to run again which meant I was out for a year of proper exercise, BUT even though I couldn't exercise last year in Greece my blood sugars were still low, also I can’t say I am always less stressed here (the...

So for 9 months of the year I live in the UK, the other 3 months I live in Athens. Whilst in the UK starting mid January 2024 my morning reading jumped up into double figures, every single morning without fail. My previous 3 months to January 24 whilst in Athens it was always single figures...

TBH the only positive I have taken is my cholesterol is down from 5.3 to 3.8 but she pushed for statins. I refused the first couple of times then relented. I find I’m having to be more firm and maybe obnoxious to the point of actually saying it works for me, her response was ‘ I’ve got 17 years...

I am increasingly frustrated by the ‘advice’ from my doctors diabetes nurse. I am type 2 on metformin extended release she says I test far to often and I will get sore fingers. I test 2-5 times a day depending on activities and what I intend to eat. I use my BS level to determine how much or...

I refused a Desmond course as I was also told it was aimed at the ‘dumbest’ person in the room on the day. I also was at in front of a diabetic nurse who was at least a size 22 (UK) and a dietitian who looked like she hadn’t eaten a square meal in her life. I have always been a carb and protein...

so I was diagnosed in February when my Hba was 98. They haven’t been able to tell me what type yet as I don’t fit a particular criteria which is frustrating but redone my Hba and it is now 51 Put on 3 kilos when they started me on insulin then I have lost 2 kilos since being on Merformin and an...

So the official explanation from both the GP and D nurse is as I presented with a reading of 98 for HBA1C and lost 4-5 kilos they treat aggressively with insulin injections. As my test results are completed and the picture appears clearer (to them) they think? it may be T2 but possibility T1.5...

Waiting call-back's from Diabetes nurse and my own GP. Im going to insist on new blood tests as the info given so far is just so confusing

I had bloods taken but as my HB1AC wasn't back I w called in to have a prick blood test in the doctors which said my glucose was 24. I was told to go the hospital straight away and spent a couple of hrs there before being sent home with a shot of insulin. I went back the next day and was told it...
