Awesome success story mate. Well done you. It's great when all the hard work pays off. :thumbup: Currently struggling myself to regain fitness after some issues and know how hard it can be to stay focussed. Like yourself I'm extremely grateful to the unsung heroes on this forum who offer their...

Re: New job - new diabetic I LOVE the sound of that diet! Obviously been to the same NHS dietician I spoke to :roll: Many, many T2s don't think it's serious though. Or prefer not to think about it. Perhaps that has a lot to do with the docs who give them metformin and gliclazide but nothing...

That saddens and concerns me. However I'm slightly re-assured that you are questioning established mantra. You asked someone else for lipids so posted my numbers to see if they're of any use to you. HbA1c: 43.0 mmol/mol (6.1%) Total Cholesterol: 3.2 mmol/L HDL Cholesterol: 0.90 mmol/L LDL...

I was prescribed Bisoprolol 1.25mg. Started on Wednesday and already resting heart rate is down to between 65 - 75. Blood pressure is still elevated - not sure if that takes a while to come down or if I need additional meds but have another appointment a week monday with GP to discuss. The day...

Thanks for the input folks. Got prescribed beta blocker Bisoprolol, low dose at 1.25 to start with and an appointment to review in a couple of weeks. Looking forward to not feeling like throwing up! John

Morning folks, not strictly a diabetes question but I'd appreciate some input. I had a heart attack on 9th July and my recovery now is being hampered by high blood pressure and heart rate. BP is around 140/95 and heart rate between 90 - 100 bpm. Before heart attack BP was controlled with...

yeah, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Just all of it! Some people can be such Richard Craniums :***: Tomorrow will be better.

I agree you can't do too much but timing is very important. You need rest time for your body to recover. I vist the gym 5 days a week - on Mon, Wed, Fri I do a full cardio interval routine and weights and on Tues, Thurs just do 45 mins gentle cardio at about 70% heart rate. I see Tues, \Thurs...

Type 2, 55, walk 3 miles every day and gym 3 times a week. All cholestrol and other numbers where they should be. Despite that on 9th July I had a heart attack - I felt unwell at home (turned out to first minor attack), got into to see doc a few hours later who put me on an ECG and then called...

Been lean and fit all my life (Apart from last year!!) and I was shocked to be diagnosed, such is life. I also put on weight since diagnosis coinciding with job change from running around like a headless chicken to flying a desk. Have a bout 2st I'd like to see the back off. Started low carb...

Hi folks, Anyone help me make this suitable for low carb please? It's a quick and easy meal for 2 and delicious which we used to have on a regular basis. Unfortunately now that I'm eating low carb I need to leave out the apple and sugar - any options for replacing or suggestions please? Ham &...

Viagra didn't do it for me but Cialas did - talk to your doc, I was prescibed 8 at a time but was never told of any restrcition. Hard enough having diabates without this as well! (No pun BTW ;) ) Before diagnosis I was also forever at the doc as the extra protein (??) in urine was causing...

One minor point. I have an Lifescan onetouch which is the NHS standard issue in my area. The test strips are held in a small round tube making the strips awkard to remove and almost impossible to remove without spilling the whole lot when your hands are shaking with a hypo. John

Diagnosed early March with an HBA1C of 11.8. Latest reading this week was 7.5. Arranged with DN for another early March so looking to get that down further. Started off in March on glicklazide, got off it with low carb. For various reasons came off low carb and on to a "healthy" diet and back on...

Thanks for the answers folks, appreciated. My aim is to get BG levels down so that I can control BGs with diet and exercise and without glicklazide. DN is OK with low carb but has her doubts as to whether I can maintain it. Numbers are going thr right way so I reckon she'll be fine with me...
