    Its got a lot better now, stings a bit but hoping tomorrow its better. They found fluid in my eye (DME) which I have no idea how its forming. I don't have any leaky blood vessels. My HBA1C is normal and I am in remission so not sure how BG is causing it. Its a scan and see in 4 weeks time. Im...

Without either of them I would probably still be struggling...

    Hello everyone Firstly I am not a doctor. I am an ordinary person who for many years ate all the wrong stuff. Sugary snacks, breads, rolls, wraps, rice. Sugar after sugar, carb after carb. Takeaways week after week and bought lunch out every day at work. I ended up 5 - 6 stone over weight and...
