And to add it is only in the last 6 months I have been put on antidepressants with a dose increase (of course they don’t contribute to weight gain or again is that dependent on who you are?)

No I don’t think so, I’ve actually kept active and where do you draw the line, paying forever for a medication, that people want to claim save the nhs money but at who’s cost really. Why was I on Metformin for the best part of 5 years plus, before I took it upon myself to pay for the GLP1...

Did you see the media this past week? There is now some mention you need to remain on a GLP’1 for life. If that isn’t another wind up. I have put 2 stone on as well after being told to stop (I was paying privately and knew I couldn’t afford the price hike on top and if I lost my work contract...

Thank you, would be interested in any experiences.

Hi, The gp surgery have called me earlier than expected for next month to have a blood test. My question is if you come out of remission as type 2 do you get listed as diagnosed with diabetes from this point or back from the time you were actually originally diagnosed? I had a district nurse...

Yes eventually went to my chest (for all the it is just a cold) last week got given antibiotics based on diabetes and past history. My readings went unusually higher and after many loafs consumed with light Philly I’m a stone and a half heavier. Sadly I made a load of mistakes at work too...

There is no help. I am now asked if someone cuts my toe nails after the diabetic nurse thinks looking at foot is no more their job. In fact when ever there is a diabetic nurse appointment I will attend even without my wrap so they never have any excuse.

I work in a call centre for local authority - answering calls back to back which probably isn’t helping the voice. I am getting a lift to training after last weeks antics and only for the grace of god another driver behind me realising I was making a mistake but only 2 days until I’m back home...

Thread can be closed as useless remarks not needed.

Honestly you don’t know my background or whatever medical conditions I’m dealing with. I’m truly beginning to understand why many forums restrict talking about medical advice. I have turned up to public sector training with a sore throat back, bringing up bloody phlegm and to find actually...

I think I can understand. For the 4 years I took metformin I always use to get asked ironically by medics - are you controlled by diet & exercise. It always seemed a bizzare thing to say until I met a surgeon on dealing with skin/wound problems who made it clear they do not believe in remission...

Thanks, I've hardly been dealing with this for 2 days. There is no fear of seeing anyone from my surgery sooner then I have already got booked for.

My line manager actually isn't in themselves. I'm due to see the GP end of the week for antidepressants (ironically not on prescription by them) so that is something I suppose. I did see a legitimate pharmacy who will sell antibiotics for around £25 but under a postal service whom I have used...

Just to update I have now specifically asked the clinic this condition reaches my medical records if as they said this morning again by way of phone consultation, they feel it is lymphoedeoma.

Hi, I really hoped a cold would jog on by now, which leaves me a little unsure how to play training at work which starts tomorrow and is in person with others who I have no idea if vulnerable nor how much I'll take in, nearly having a car accident Friday when I tried to venture out, I'm feeling...
