    T2 - and now irregular heartbeat

    I agree, get yourself to A&E. BP is very high and heart rate is also elevated. The least the doc should have done was check you over.

    Who said we cant get tattoos????

    Nice one. 4 hours is a biggie. Getting a new one in a couple of weeks and can't wait. I leaave her a stick drawing and she turns it into a work of art! No reason why diabetes should stop anyone getting tattooed as long as they take all the precautions.

    So nervous about my diabetes checkup tomorrow..

    No it wasn't, it was a waste of time! Sorry, but to be blunt, rather than hide the truth why don't you do what you know has got to be done. Look after yourself. Make the decision to get back in the habit of self-care. You know it's got to be done and judging from your post you know how to do...

    Gym and how to stabilise blood sugars in type 2

    Do you take your gliclazide before you workout? I prefer morning workouts and although I'm mainly diet controlled now when I was taking glic I found that my levels took a dive after a session.

    Burdens of Medication( NEED YOUR HELP!!!)

    Completed for you. One point - I feel the responses from this site may skew your results as I imagine evryone here questions the benefits and side effects of every medication they're prescribed. Also many on here will know more about diabetes and meds than their doc does ;)

    Mental note....dont eat pizza

    Apparently pizza takes a while to peak BG levels because the fat in the cooked cheese delays the carbs being absorbed. (I think! Happy to be corrected if wrong) I just love pizza! But diet controlled so avoid it.

    hi from a newbie

    That is scary isn't it, suddenly you have this "condition" and have to deal with lots of information. Perfectly natural to worry. Someone on this forum told me it was like a little part of you had died. For me, after the initial shock came anger. Why me? What did I do to deserve this? The only...
