    Sorry not been around much because I've

    Hi Antje77, Much better now, touch wood, thank you for asking. :) I have been popping in but reading more than posting although to be honest I haven't been online much whilst the weather was good. Still not got my bg back to what it was before I got ill but it's not too bad. Hovering around...

    This diabetes is a total nightmare [emoji849]

    Hi maxigrs, Firstly, welcome to the forums you will find this a very friendly place full of knowledge and advice. I think the majority of us felt very similar when first diagnosed, I know I did. I am also intrigued by your "secret observations of what I am eating" ??? Yes I got a tad grumpy...

    So sorry to hear you are having such a bad time at the moment lucylocket61, and really hope and pray you get clear results. The pneumonia takes it out of you big time, can't comment on the covid as I've not had that, but have been through those other health issues. Just take one day and step at...

    Confused

    Hi TraceyN, Welcome to the forums :) Congratulations on getting your HbA1c down so quickly. I also can't advise on the leg cramps and rapid heart rate except to say talk to your GP or nurse as something else could be going on and they are the ones to put your mind at ease.
