My hair is definitely a lot thinner and brittle. I have been told that 6 months down the road it should stop! I still have 2 months to go! I am using conditioner daily now (never used it much before)! I am just hoping it stops breaking off! X Sent from my MotoE2(4G-LTE) using...

I agree. He should have taken a deep breath, respected the results and said ,'right, onwards and upwards'. I am very sorry and shocked that he has resigned. I reckon BJ would do a good job. I am sure it will pan out, today was a massive knee jerk reaction to a result many were not expecting I...

Hello. Good for you I say, coming off of insulin and all those injections must be wonderful! Look at diet doctor website. It will give you a lot of info on duet. I am fairly new to this but, following the LCHF (low carbs high fat) diet works. Have a look and see what you think. X Sent...

Mine was 7.2. Don't seem to be able to reduce it! [emoji24] Sent from my MotoE2(4G-LTE) using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

I came home from school this evening feeling light headed and a bit bizarre. I took a reading just before I ate and it was 3.9. We have key staff off at the moment so it's been a heavy week! Should I be overally concerned about the reading or just ignore it? I will blood test again but I...

I am used to coffee without sugar now. You can have cream instead of milk which is nice! I am new to this and I have had more questions answered here than anywhere. Just ask. I have found that somebody has an answer or suggestions. Welcome the world of D's...

Ask to be tested for Ulcerative Colitis/Crohns. My son has Crohns and that started with small ulcers. Undiagnosed for too long it can become a real problem. Colieac disease it not uncommon in diabetes but it may be worth asking. My son had scopes and biopsies that were helpful in the...

That's the problem. Nobody seems to agree with anything. I think it's trial and error I just can't find a common link. I think you need carbs every mealtime. I think I am doing OK (just 13 weeks into this) then it all goes wrong again. I think it's a question of what suits each individual...

Make sure you know where loo's are as much as you can! It can sometimes be a supersonic run! I did not get any real problems until I hit the 1500 daily dose. Keep a food diary sometimes you can make a link and eliminate it. Make sure you eat when you take it. I am only 13 weeks in no SR for...

I think its grin and bear it! After 13 weeks of taking 1500 a day it is much more spasmodic. I can go for days without anything then it's back. I keep a food diary but cannot really find any link. It's very unpleasant and I am scared stiff of being caught out! So far I have been lucky...

I have had chronic stomach pains on and off for weeks. My GP will not change my medication until the 6 month HbAc1 blood test at the end of July. I keep a food diary and I cannot match up anything, it seems quite random. I was td that not eating enough carbs can cause these pains because the...

I bought a medicine sorter outer. Each morning I divvy up my medication into the little sections. That way I know if I have taken them. You can buy them in Boots or most chemists. Really helped me! Sent from my MotoE2(4G-LTE) using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

I have a bit of a rough time in Metformin. I can go for days and its all fine and then wham......this evening it is very much worse and, my feeling is it might be some sort of tummy upset. (I am a teacher so we pick up a lot of bugs). Us there anything I need to be aware of? Do I continue to...

I have heard this from others. I cancelled my course at the local hospital. I an a relative newbie (12 weeks). Following the LCHF diet and continual testing I have gone from 23.5 to an average of 6.1 in 12 weeks. Next HbAc1 at the end of July but I did manage to drop from 145 to 72 in the...

I think you need to test them. It seems they behave differently with different people. I sometimes buy small multigrain bread. It's ok now and again but the slices are smaller! It's all in the head it means 2 small slices equals 1 big one! X Sent from my MotoE2(4G-LTE) using...

Carry an empty strip box with you and put them in there. I put a couple of hankies/cotton wool pads in your testing equipment case. Sent from my MotoE2(4G-LTE) using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

I am a teacher and I am sorry that this has occurred. There are major H&S issues around blood/products. However situations have to be dealt with sympathetically and with discretion. There will be a Policy that covers these situations and you are entitled to see it and go through it with TC a...

In my short experience, it does go back to normal. It took about 8 weeks for diagnosis. I was told that it is due to a build up of glucose on the lens. Good luck, it's all still overwhelming for me after 12 weeks but it is becoming more manageable. This site has been my lifeline so ask...

I am at at @ 3.00 night after night d espite being very tired. I don't think it's anything to do with diabetes. I think the body's clock gets into a routine and its difficult to break. Tiredness is accruing I think and that does not help anything else! [emoji24] Sent from my MotoE2(4G-LTE)...
