Hello All, I hope I am finding you all well. Apologies if this has been already posted but I couldn't find anything when looking. I received an invitation for the Covid vaccine which is great but I thought they were only concentrating on groups 1-4 until March? I myself would be classed in...

Hi John, Just a quick question in relation to the bronchiectasis what were your symptoms & how were you diagnosed or what test did you have to diagnose bronchiectasis ? I’m asking because a few years ago I had a chest X-ray which was abnormal with the notes saying likely changes for...

Thank you very much sorry I should have mentioned I’m type 2, (I’ve updated my profile).. I was diagnosed last October. But I’m on a low carb diet I thought maybe I’d be lacking in something, I’d also want to boost my immune system too. I think multivitamins cover most areas? I don’t really know...

Hello All, I wanted some advice on multivitamins and id diabetics are able to take them ok without any problems and if so which ones ? I am on medication for my diabetes called Sukkarto SR 500mg metfomin and I don’t know if it would affect this and my sugar levels. Someone I know said to try...

Hello. I'd like to work this out myself but I don't know where to get my figures to use from? Sorry I am still learning about diabetes as I've not been diagnosed long. Do I get the readings from the testing kit I use? Apologies if my questions are silly. Thank you.

Thank you for your reply. I think that's the important thing that the readings are ok-ish. Since I was diagnosed 6 months ago I am still trying to learn more about it all. I think the readings seem OK although I think they should be lower maybe.

Thank you for that :) I have ordered strips for both anyway but going forward I will stick with the Tee2. Thank you for your help :)

Hi porl69, thank you for your reply. Yes I was going to stick with one of them but I am not sure which one yet. I was hoping to get some feedback from people with regards to kits they use and if anybody uses the kits I do so to make the choice a bit easier.

Hi, Since being diagnosed with T2 around 6 months ago, I have been testing myself at home just to keep an eye on levels. I was told I didn't need to but I do it anyway. I was diagnosed due to an initial reading of 119 hba1c but in January the second blood test showed it went down to 51 which...

Hello all, once again thank you for the responses, this has been such a help for me, I am so glad I've found this forum. The readings today were better again but only slightly. This morning when I got up it was 15.4, then before my main meal it was 15.2 and 2 hours from that it was 14.9 which...

Thank you all so much for the replies, I really appreciate it. Diabell, I haven't been showing the Type 1 symptoms, I am quite overweight whereby my GP classed me as "morbidly obese", so I have been trying to lose weight rather than losing it unnaturally. So I took my bloods before my meal...

Hi Resurgam, Thank you for your reply. I do already eat some of the above especially fish, eggs and salads, I've cut down on the cheese as I need to lose weight (I really love cheese, probably a bit too much!!). Thank you, Danny.

Hi Sam, Thank you ever so much for your post and taking the time to reply to me, it really has helped. Everything you said makes sense and I am getting an understanding of things a bit more and what I need to do to manage it. I just wanted to mention that I have had a few symptoms over the...

Hi Neil, thank you for your reply and support. You're right I must not let it control my life but for me to control it instead, like you are doing. I will be calling my GP again tomorrow to chase them up with whatever they were meant to send me through the post as I want all the advice I can...

Thank you Goonergal, I've just taken the reading again, albeit 4 hours after eating and it's gone down by a point from 17.9 to 16.9 so I suppose that's ok under the circumstances. Will do it around 2 hours after from now on, thank you for that :) I wasn't 100% happy with my meal today though as...

Hi Goonergal & Ziggy, Thank you every so much for your replies, I will most certainly read and take note of everything that's in your posts as its so valuable. I want to educate and learn as much as possible so that I can get in a position that I can get everything under control. Ziggy, to...

Hi All, I hope I am finding everybody well. I am new to the forum and being my first post I am feeling a little apprehensive. Since the diagnosis my head has been all over the place with so many questions, what I should be doing and not doing (not counting the obvious stuff). My diagnosis...
