Dear Sooliz, I'm afraid MANE is only to be bought online but very worthwhile and posted straight away, Deb

Hi to everyone who is interested in this thread. I went back and got blood lipids tested again in January after being off Simvastatin since August 2011 and low and behold Serum Cholesterol 7.7 and LDL 5.4 so am going to re-start taking Simvastatin tonight again. As I said I am already on beta...

Dear Sooliz, please look at the thread "Statins and Hair loss" and my last post, regards, Diadeb x

Hi Daisy1, I have sent a PM to Energize, but my hair loss is all over the top of my head and I now use MANE Hair Thickening Spray (just google it). It costs £15 per 200ml can but does last for ages and completely camoflages hair loss and if you order 6 you get one free, best wishes, Deb xx

Libby, many thanks, Deb x

Has anybody been able to overturn their GP's decision to stop giving out test strips when only on diet and exercise and not medications. I have challenged my HCP saying that I need to test to see how my body reacts to certain foods but to no avail, thanks, Deb x

Catherinecherub, many thanks for the link to comp0lain about the stoppage of test strips, very useful, Deb x

Asda is where I buy mine from, 100g for 99p, Deb

Hi libbyM, regarding your post for pizza crust, can you tell me how much Almond flour to use in grams please?, you have written 1 1/2 c ( presumably meaning cups), thanks Debra x

Hi Sugarmog, yes I am taking Domperidone 10-20mgs four times daily and it does help lower my B/G levels as it helps empty my stomach contents instead of "sitting there". In this section of "Ask a Question" search for Gastroparesis and there is a good link given by Cugilla last December 16th...

All done and dusted Catherine, thanks for the info, Deb x

Hi Derekp, if you do have an enlarged prostate (prostatic hyperplasia) then as I'm sure you know this would cause nightime urination. My Husband was given some Tamsulosin Hydrochloride capsules, one to be taken daily and this has sorted out the problem of getting up many times in the night...

Hi Catherine, don't know if it's me but I cannot find exactly how to sign up, can you help?, thanks Deb x

Hi, I find that I always have a glucose dump during the night with high morning levels but the morning level can be reduced by me having soemthing to eat before bed, usually a protein snack rather that carbs and a glass of red wine. This works for me, I am D/E only, Debra x

Hi Pipstick, firstly I am sorry that you have received some negative replies, for the life of me I cannot see why. Also I wholeheartedly agree with Viviennem's post and all that is in it. I have never seen a GP about my diabetes, I am always directed to the DSN who is actually a Practice Nurse...

Hi MRSMOUSEMAT, don't worry, according to the literature that I have the non diabetic range is 4.0% - 6.0%, which is now 20 mmol/mol - 42 mmol/mol. So your result of 32 mmol/mol would still be in the low 5%. I got the information from Diabetes UK, so have a look, regards, Debra x

Well everyone I went to see my GP today and basically he said that it could be anything thats causing the hair loss because I am on so many medications, beta blocker, calcium channel-blocker, Levothyroxine. Anyway we agreed that I stop the Simvastatin, no statin at all as they all cause alopecia...

Hi WhitbyJet, many thanks for the recipe for Meatloaf with Herbed Cheese Filling, I shall try that soon, Deb

Hi Marzeater, my Husband used to take Viagra and the only side effect that he got was slight facial flushing and yes he could pee, no problem, all the best, Deb x
