Yeah know that one ... I have it this evening, happens when I have been sitting down all day a work. Some light excercise best fix imho

Re: Metformin + Gliclazide + Excercise Seems to be working Been on same regime for years and yes as long as you can keep the regular excercise going, you are on to a winner.

Workplace bullies are the pits. Hold your head high, easy for me to say but, don't let them win. I have been there with T2 issues and a bullying employer so, you have my sympathy :wave:

I was prescribed chloramphenicol eye ointment 1% by my doctor. After discussing it with my State Nurse wife, she said they used a baby shampoo diluted with warm water twice daily and had success with this at the care home she works at. I use baby shampoo now to avoid irritating the eye area and...

Agree that coffee is a diuretic but, tea? I always believed tea would help hydrate you. :?

Yes drinking plenty of tea and coffee at work all day and at weekend too. I do stare at screens all day in an aircon'd office. I am sure that coupled with the fact that I'm am 59 does not help. I just wanted to sound out other mature T2 sufferers to see what their experience was and any treatments.

I have been suffering from what has been diagnosed by my Doc as blepharitis and using Antibiotic ointment to treat it . The Doc said it had nothing to do with T2, that may or may not be true but, I was worried when I read today about dry-eye syndrome and Diabetes. Could my blepharitis and be...

I've had issues to varying degress with just about any drugs I have ever taken, just me I believe. :roll: Glic clicked in straight away and once my body got used to it, I have been fine on 320mg a day for the past years. I tried exercise and diet and it helped but, could not do with out Glic...

Good thread this imho. What worries me is recent figures/study that only 20% of us have tight control over this condition. The wrong Quack can be central to issues. My Quack is a monster in my opinion, max drugs on lowish figures straight away. Drugs drugs drugs, I am bloody sick of them and...

I know Byetta did it for a couple of friends of mine of different sexes. They both swear by it but, I have no experience.

Seconded 1/10000 is a totally laughable figure. Your less than 10 is real-world more accurate :clap:

It's a fact of modern life or at least it is for me, that we can often be mentally tired out but, physically no where near. I get the up on the night for a leak and thought its was the T2 or the drugs or being late 50's did it. What fixes my sleep is no work/worries and being physically tired.

Sound advice imo ...... I was on x2 80mg twice a day dropped to x2 80mg a day, plus x2 1000 SR Metformin. Whilst Glic initially really lowered my count, these days not much is occurring. Metformin and exercise has been the most successful method I have found since becoming diagnostic over 10...

yeah me too :yawn:

Feliz Navidad :) not Spanish just been planning my holidays :D
