Thank you for this. I am looking on geeks website.

Thank you. Really helpful.

Hiya, I have type 2. Recent hba21 was 47. Lowest I have got it to was 40 from 86. I take 1 x 500 metformin a day. No other supplements or meds. I do have elevated B12 so must not add any more B12 into diet. I also have elevated ferritin and have recently given blood to hopefully help this. I am...

My last blood test was 25 for vitamin D. Apparently, it should be between 25-50. I was going to take a Vit d supplement but a friend told me not to take it unless I incorporate K2. Not sure what this is. Thanks.

Hi, My LDL has always been good. Yes, I do eat a lot of nuts. Mum takes 10mg of statin as was persuaded as a preventative measure. She is type 2 and 82. Dad was on them too but he was morbedly obese with a bmi of 48, smoked 80 cigarettes in his early years etc, suffered a heart attack at 47.

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to read this. I have a GP appointment later. They want to discuss statins. I am scared. I am 52, type 2, hba1c of 42 and one metformin a day. I walk lots, weight train twice a week. Tryglicerides: 1.6 HDL: 1.7 LDL: 7.1 Serum cholesterol/HDL:5.6 The day before...

Hi all, I am hoping someone can help me. I got a call today saying I needed to go on statins. Is there someone who can tell me how bad my results are. I eat low carb - 1 x metformin per day. BMI 24.

Hi. I've just logged online with my surgery and seen this: Blood haematinic levels Serum vitamin B12 level 700 ng/L [197.0 - 771.0]; B12 levels are often lower in pregnancy and therefore need careful clinical interpretation in such scenarios. Suggest discuss with the consultant haematologist if...

Hi, I am hoping someone can help me make sense of these results from recent blood tests. HBA1C came back as normal with a reading of 42. I take one x Metformin a day 500mg. I have a review and I think they will suggest ,me stopping it - just a gut feeling. Not sure how I would feel about...

Thanks for the reply. So it's not dka as my sugars are well controlled and with a hba1c of 42.... I've lost 2.5 stone and have put haf a stone back on so now 9.7 and 5.3 but consultant said yesterday he'd advise me to keep my weight at 9 stone to keep my hba1c down. He wasn't an endocrinologist...

Would I be able to buy test strips to see if I'm in ketosis??? So, what is keto acidosis? Is that one stage on from ketosis? Like taking keto too far????

Oh, right. Thank you. I did mention this to the nurse but she didn't comment. They never do lol. Yes, I fo a very low carb diet to keep sugars down. She didn't tell me the level. Does it mean I'm in ketosis?????

Hi, Just been into hospital for an operation. My bloods were checked prior to operation and were 6.3 which was fine. Hba1c gone from 40 to 42 in 8 months but I did reduce from 2 metformin to 1 so no big worry according to consultant. My urine was checked.... Not a trace of sugar but apparently...

Hi I'm down to 1 x 500 metformin a day. When is the best time to take this, never been told. After breakfast or after dinner? Will taking at a particular time help hba1c? Thanks.

Hi, Is it possible that metformin can cause a dry mouth in the night? I only take 1 x slow 500 slow release as hba1c is 39. I have stopped taking it at night and now take in the morning and no more dry mouth. Is this coincidental?

I've decided to reduce to 1 tablet. I'm checking my sugars these last few days and seems to be about 4.5 to 5 before dinner and about 6 to 6.5 2 hours later so thinking I should reduce to 1 and see what happens in 12 weeks. Last night, it was 4.6 about 2.5 hours after eating. Feeling very...

Thank you for replying. Yes, I plan to keep an open mind tbh and am aware of some of the downsides to not taking it all. I need to check with her as to what's going on with my b vitamin 12 anyway and check if the Metformin is causing an issue as my results were abnormal -but expected so no...

Thanks. Just called them. Receptionist acknowledged they are back in normal range and gave reduced even after halving my meds. She will get someone to call me later today.
