Yes that's Hi, Yes that's exactly right.... To rule out type 1. It says the result is satisfactory. Noone calls/explains about anything.

Just this but no idea what it means and noone has been in touch. They never do tbh. Urine C Peptide Urine C Peptide analysed by: Clinical Biochemistry Dept Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital Urine C-peptide/creatinine ratio 6.85 nmol/mmol Random Urine C Peptide 15.08 nmol/L Urine creatinine level...

Thanks guys. Says ratio is 6.85 but have googled. Still confused. Will call surgery but not expecting much of a response.

Hi guys, After a 2 week wait.. My results are in for the above test. It just says 'satisfactory' What on earth is this supposed to mean???? Other tests say 'normal'. There are numbers but I don't understand. Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thank you. He is an asthmatic so watching him carefully, at a distance. I do have a machine and bs stable. Will test more frequently but 6.2 fasting this morning. Not much else we can do other than hope for a mild dose. I'm still negative.

I am a T2, diagnosed 3 months ago. I'm on Metformin 2000mg. Husband ill, just got confirmation he has covid. We're both double jabbed but feeing apprehensive for him and myself as a diabetic. Told him to stay in a room and wear a mask. Don't want to catch. Any advice.

Want mine in bin too hopefully.

Hi. I'm exactly in the same position as you. I'm on Sr and week 3. Readings same as before but stomach feels odd.... I'm actually less regular than before and feel like I've been pumped up with gas inside. Horrid. I got my levels from 86 to 60 in 6 weeks without meds and didn't know if I should...

That's interesting. May I ask why you refused statins. I'm hearing that a lot of people with diabetes take them but they've not been offered to me, no idea why.

Thank you for replying to me, much appreciated.

Hi, I've got to pick up a prescription of metformin.... Been put on 2g a day. Levels were 86 6 weeks ago but with diet alone I managed to get hba1c to 60 and cholesterol from 6.8 to 5.6. Not sure why, just feel incredibly nervous about meds. I know I shouldn't feel this way as many people take...

Thank you.

Thank you. I could cry with happiness.

Hi everyone, I thought I would share my news ... Diagnosed T2 3rd June with BS of 86 and Cholesterol of 6.8. I was devastated. Told to take Gliclazide but said I would do diet first so have just focused on diet, exercise, stress level reduction etc. I had to have more bloods done yesterday for...

Hi, Not sure if I'm right but I was just reading on the Internet that if your hba1c is more than 9% or 10% then it's likely that insulin will be suggested. My reading was 85. However. On here, it seems that people with higher readings than 85 are on oral drugs. I'm panicking now. Waiting to see...

I fancy a gin and tonic tonight. It will be first drop of alcohol since diagnosis. Can I drink flavoured ones or does it need to be white gin? Would a wine be better or a prosecco? Red, white? Not sure. Looking forward to one drink with bbq and football later.

Oh right, thank you. Not been told much, still learning. Why do I feel so rubbish.

Not really having any salt I suppose. Drinking fluids is a nightmare. I teach and can't access a loo frequently.

Hi, My readings seem to be improving. I've gut my carb in take. I just checked my bloods and it was 6.0. About to eat. I know this reading is still not great but I'll get there. Thing is..... Feel do tired. Normal????

Hi, Newly diagnosed. Just wondering if it's OK to drink coffee throughout day? I drink water too and gave taken the milk out of my coffee these last 3 weeks. Would I be better to switch to putting a herbal tea in my thermos? Not sure if caffeine raises blood sugars. Sorry if this is a stupid...
