Oh no. I'm going to miss your updates. Will @tina_marie be happy to keep us updated? Hoping we are still some support, even though things have settled down to changes rather than solutions.

I was actually thinking of leaving , but will stay just to keep people updated . Yesterday afternoon he had more seizures and today he fell asleep listening to music and when he woke he couldn't move his left arm or his legs . Not sure if there is a connection but when listening to music something always happens , usually a seizure .

Once EMG study results have arrived will hopefully be in some kind of position plus got pain clinic at end of month .
It's because of the confusion getting worse don't post as much now

Hello @TinyCat33 and welcome. Here in my signature is the link to the information mentioned above which I hope you will find useful. It contains a lot of advice about carbs and a link to the Low Carb Program in case you might like to try it. Ask as many questions as you like and someone will be able to help.

Poor Maureen... The 'flu is horrible, isn't it? I wonder if perhaps your eye's twitching because you're tired? If you've got a bad cough you probably aren't getting much sleep, which can often make the tiny muscles around the eye twitch. Try putting on some soothing music, sit in a comfortable chair, rest your head backwards with a warm, damp flannel over your eyes and try a bit of meditation. I hope you feel better soon. Big hugs xx

You still not better @maureen5752 - Oh you poor thing, I am sending you big, big HUGS and Cuddles. Just make sure you drink plenty of fluids and if you don't feel like eating food? Have cupa-soups (my favourite is Leek & potato) but do watch the sugar content though. Your blood sugars are going to be raised anyway with being ill.
Since changing over to the SR Metformin the only thing I have noticed is I get mild pains going left to right across my lower abdomen! My blood sugars are erratic and there is no way I am going to increase my Insulin as I take 44 units a day, and I was/had hoped to start decreasing the Insulin once the SR version had kicked in.
The Diabetic Nurse at GP Surgery wants to see me after one month of being on the SR version of Metformin to check my Blood sugar result. So, I am persevering for now - got 2 weeks before it's a month.
Have to go Food Shopping in an hour (Yuk) but, I will survive.
Take Care Maureen.xx

Hi thanks, I was told to try SR again, I had cramps like you for couple days, but now suffer with terrible constipation, which I've never had before, quite opposite, so they gave me lactulose which is very sweet, but my sugars have gone up, never see a 5 or 6 now, mornings are 7.6 or 8+ !!!!!! But it's great that I can go out & not worry about tummy upset & I do sleep better, bgs are more stable but higher , which can't be good surely? Soon you'll be pushing a pram to go shopping x

Good evening friends

As darkness falls it's time to start thinking of dinner

Might go to carvery

 

[Liam1955]

Hello @maureen5752 - Not been in long from shopping.
I get on prescription Sugar Free Orange flavoured Laxido sachets for the relief of Constipation. (Though I would rather eat a big plateful of cooked Sprouts with Walnuts).
The Baby and Parents requested a week without visitors so they could establish their own routine - which is quite right.
Off to go and have something to eat now.
Chat later. And hope you feel a wee bit better

Hi William - how are you doing lately? I notice your FBS are higher than you like, why is that do you think?
I was wondering how you got on with your last visit to the consultant?
Sending you big hugs xx

Good afternoon from a bright and sunny Cumbria

Over on the costa del solway it is baking with many a folk cooling off in the sea to escape the heat of the day

The fells look pretty as the snow on the tops is glistening in the sun

Have a lovely weekend friends
