thank you You were very brave getting it done when it was so new! I feel even more pathetic now I think a large part of it is having lost trust in our local hospital, my own treatment (stroke), friends & local news Yeah I don't know how long I won't be able to drive for, but I don't...

Thank you so much for your post too . It's great to hear from someone who has had it done. I'll be taking the bus there & back (I live alone & no one I want to ask to take me (for various mixed reasons!) if it's that bad afterwards there's a taxi rank right outside. I'll definitely take my...

Thank you for your message too. Yeah I'm not at all concerned about the 'fluffy' bits, just getting the best treatment.

Thank you for your nessage This is laser treatment, not injections, tomorrow. May still need injections for the maculopathy in the future, but this seems to have been put on the back burner due to the retinopathy issue. Re private, only that I've heard other people say they'd only go to the...

Hi all I used to be a frequent poster, but I haven't been around for a long time now, but I need some advice/help, if anyone has a few minutes. Still diet (low carb) & exercise controlled until Jan 2025 (HbA1c at a good level), but I had a stroke. Pressured into taking Blood pressure pills...

I would just need to look at a cheese toasted sandwich.

One of the things that pushed me into getting tested, was a headache anytime I ate. Plus drinking the planet dry every day -I had to take 3 bottles of water to bed each night! That was on top of drinking loads through the day. did you buy the chocolate or was it given to you? I'd say it's a...

Why would you want to take a drug you don't need to take? Why would you not want to get an HBA1c test whenever offered the opportunity? How are your Depression & Anxiety now? Are you in a place where you could look at your diet instead? I don't think any of us gets to choose which medication...

What is he usually? Is he possibly snacking or grazing? Even with the same foods as normal he could still be higher if he's eating at different times, eating the same foods but over a longer period of time etc Is he drinking enough water and not too much/any juice, squash etc? Good news is...

I find that when I'm eating properly low carb, it's much easier to stick to because I rarely get hungry. Add in carbs and I just want to eat! I'm motivated by the fact that I do not want to be on medication. I'm also trying to avoid medication for my high blood pressure. Though despite being...

I came here to see if there were any posts about this... the Moderna one looks to have been tested on 'vulnerable' people, but I haven't found any D specific info yet. As for who should get priority, I think we need to see what's available at the time as efficacy will vary I'd like to know...

When I fall off the LCHF wagon, I know when my BGL’s are starting to get too high and one of the things that changes is needing to get up to use the toilet in the night, when my BGL’s are good I don’t need to.

I’m vegetarian and I don’t eat eggs. I was vegan for a few years, but pre diagnosis of T2 I’m VKC/keto and basically not losing any weight I might try cutting out dairy next week and see if it helps, but <groan> I’ll be ‘good free’ if I cut much more out!

I’m T2, when my insulin resistance was better I could tolerate carrots (& hommous) but seemingly not at the moment! I tolerate ice cream better right now. (It’s not something I usually eat, but did on holiday.). I miss carrots so I periodically eat & test. How about LCHF with people on here...

When I wasn’t drinking enough to keep a camel happy!! Stopped getting a headache every time I ate something BG results dropped almost immediately HBA1C from 12 to 5 after 3 months Lost a bit of weight
