    Feeling annoyed!

    Thank you for your support, I guess it is early days yet, I am encouraged that the weight is falling off, I still take 2 glucophage (metformin) per day, but I stopped gliclizide 6 days ago. I suppose I still have a lot of fatty stuff around the liver and pancreas, and hope that my high morning...

    Something has happened to my account?

    until today I was able to post images from my photo gallery, these have been centred around food for a low carb diet. I tried to post today, and when I hit the photo icon, I am asked for a URL, is this a glitch or is there some other reason?
