Hi Gem :) It sounds as if you need to go back and see your GP in order that those tests can be done so that you know one way or the other, even if it just puts your mind at ease. It may not even be anything to do with diabetes, you know, as there are so many things which can cause your...

Hi dorsetlad and welcome. :) As a new T2 I wonder if you have found the ‘advice for new T2s’ usually posted by Sue and/or Ken, the Forum Monitors, on various threads in this Greetings and Introduction section. Have a hunt through if you haven’t seen it and even cut and paste it into a document...

:D

Hello jayemm and welcome to the forum. :) I am not surprised that you are confused given the stereotype of what a T2 is. I was also faced with the same reaction as you and told to just keep on doing what I was doing and clearly that is obviously fine if you are totally healthy but nonsensical...

Hello and welcome to the forum. :D With all that experience you will have much to offer so will look forward to your posts. 8)

I wonder what the reading would have been at 3 and 4 hours later. :shock: :?

Hi Nooby :D Thanks for your concern but my husband makes his own decisions and he is very happy not to have any more pain and no swelling. I reiterate that the allopurinol did absolutely nothing and my husband prefers to use the formula which works. The blood tests show that uric acid levels...

Glued to the loo by diabetic chocolate?! :shock: I suppose that is one way of dealing with it! :lol: :roll: :lol:

That article made my eyes go crossed to start with! Quite funny that the reporter didn't understand that HDL is the beneficial part of the equation! :roll: :lol:

Re: How long for metformin to kick in? Oooh dear! You know what you have to do then?! :shock: Sounds like it will help you to go back to the beginning and follow the advice that Sue and/or Ken post for newly diagnosed T2s as that will really help you. It is never too late to crack on with...

I think it is only the bright and the fortunate few who manage to survive the DUK/NHS. :evil:

Very well done Viv. :D As you say, the information on here is absolutely priceless! 8) Spread the word people :!: :idea:

At least you are getting to grips with things now and this is a good place to find help and get questions answered or even have a whinge when necessary :!: 8) I expect you will have to be quite careful with what you eat on your new regime but there are a good many others on here in a like...

Hello Isis and welcome to the forum. :D

Hi Martin and welcome. :) There have been a number of posts on the subject of driving and being on insulin fairly recently so it would be worth using the search box to do a bit of digging - although someone who knows the answers to your query may well be along soon. :)

Hello again Puddock :) Sounds like you had a few problems there, glad the numbers are better and you are felling so much better too. I am trying to ensure I stay off anything at all for as long as possible - I certainly don't like needles! :roll: I have had to cut out all the starchy carbs...

Glad to hear it! :lol:

Hello Jim and welcome. :) This is a brilliant place to get clued up and organised to walk this diabetes path. Lots of helpful people to answer questions and give support. 8)

Welcome to the forum Puddock. :D Glad to hear that support for you is good. :) What led to you having to use Victoza :?:

Hi Ana23 and welcome :) Knowing what you should do and doing what you should are two very different things and often "ne'er the twain shall meet"! :roll: You can't take everything away from people, even in the name of health, and purely from my own observations, as I have never smoked...
