Thanks Mike - I'll get that organised. Only slight issue is - the Metformin also seems to make me very windy LOL :)

Thanks everyone. Yes, of course I shall get it checked out - thanks for your encouragement in that regard. Mike - that's a slightly unexpected suggestion re the Prostate - do you know these things are related, or is that just good common sense general advice ? I'm not squeamish about such...

PLEASE DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU ARE OF A SENSITIVE OR EASILY OFFENDED NATURE :) So, anyway. Since being diagnosed T2 a while ago, and starting on Metformin (2 x 500mg a day), I have noticed that my - well, Testicles, are aching. Every day, and all day. Not exactly throbbing so that I'm...

Greetings Stephen :-) You're in the right place - lots of really kind, experienced and knowledgeable people on here, as I am discovering, being newly diagnosed myself. Assuming that you are too - feel free to drop me a message any time you like. Cheers.

Yes !! I've been meaning to try these. I'm a little sceptical / uninformed about the role of the Mozzarella in the recipes, though ? I'm in a new food landscape here, and I don't claim to be a food scientist. As far as I am concerned - coconut flour + Psyllium ought to give the texture and...

I love your reply, in particular the "jogging alongside it" image :) . You're right - I should probably chill out a bit. I do have a tendency to, well, I suppose, over-compensate for life crises, which means I commit myself to high and absolute remedial actions (stubborn Yorkshireman LOL), and...

Thank you Vashti !. Sorry for this delayed reply - I've been a bit under the weather lately. I've fallen fairly hard off my happy little Keto wagon, have put most of the weight back on, and have regained the tingly toes and morning sickly feelings. Bizarelly, certain other things have...

That's a fantastic reply @HSSS, and really makes sense. Sorry for the delay in posting a thanks, by the way - I've been a bit under the weather :-(

Thanks Resurgam. I'll agree with you that, on the Keto diet, I'm not hungry, per se.... but I'd say that I am "bored". Breakfast options, in particular, seem limited... and snacking seems out of the question - even carrots and celery are apparently not so ketogenic ?!. I like that you say...

MrsA2, thanks for your reassuring words. To be honest, I'm finding it hard to see the wood from the trees, in terms of "odd signs and things happening" - I'm newly (unexpectedly, and traumatically) separated and single, recently unemployed and now on benefits (never saw THAT one coming ?!!)...

Thanks Dan. Yes, I am also using this as a kick up the proverbial, to lose some serious weight. I also have Sleep Apnoea, which is BMI-related. I don't mind a bit of cold turkey, but - as you're clearly into body health - how long do you reckon this will take before it all settles down ? By...

Cheers Ash. Your Metformin are 1000's ? Mine are 500's.... so sounds like you're already on (the equivalent of) what I'm on ? Yes please, keep us informed - although (and this might be a bit contentious.....) I'd rather, to be honest, take Metformin, if it allows me to still eat yummy carby...

Thanks Goonergal :) Seriously, you think the diet is probably the key factor ? That's a shame - I was hoping to start reintroducing pasta to my world, in a couple of weeks :) I really miss pasta. And bread. And pies. And cake :-( Seriously though, I think the eyesight changes are...

Thanks Mike. I have no idea what my HBA1C is/was, to be honest - it didn't occur to me to ask him, at the time - the number "80" seems to spring to mind, but I have no idea if I'm just making that up. Presumably I'm entitled to call them and ask ? All I know is that my blood glucose was...

Evening all. Please excuse a few newbie questions and a fairly long post. I'm age 51, diagnosed Type 2 on 13/Jan 2021. I had started getting tell-tale symptoms, like constant thirst, very dry mouth in the morning, and waking up 5 times a night for a pee - so I bought a little blood glucose...
