Thank you @KennyA. I will have a chat with my local pharmacist for their advice. I am currently taking standard Ibuprofen for the pain. As I take so much medication, I am looking for a natural supplement to help with the inflammation.

Thanks @aylalake. Ah that's interesting .... I recently purchased the Low Carb programme, as it was on special offer. I am starting this in the New Year. I thought it was pointless trying to starting before Xmas with all the extra food, drink and goodies to tempt me!! I hope that I have...

I am looking for some guidance on which anti-inflammatory supplements i can use as a T2D. I know that Glucosamine can interact with some diabetic medication. Is it the same for Chondroitin too? I am currently suffering with Achilles Tendonitis and also have knee joint pain, so I am looking for...

It's interesting to hear you are taking Berberine supplements instead of Metformin (have I read that correctly?). What's dosage do you take? I have been using it for a few weeks but alongside my other medication.

I have been having problems getting a refill of Victoza. Most pharmacies are saying that they are out of stock and don't know when they'll be back in. I have been using Victoza for 3 months now and has worked wonders for my Hb1AC levels with a significant drop and losing a little weight too. My...

Hello Has anyone else had problems getting Victoza Liraglutide 6mg/ml Solution pens? I started using it back in April this year and am now having problems getting this, as some pharmacies are out of stock and don't know when it's going to be supplied.

Thank you, I will give it a go.

Thank you I will give it a go. I have been writing down what I have had for dinner the last few weeks, but not actually counting the carbs. I will start tomorrow and see how I get on. I'll post and update in a few weeks time and let you know how I got on. Thank you again for your advice.

Yes, I did have that problem when I was on the Slimming World plan, particularly at lunchtimes, sometimes during my lunchtime walk. Also had a few during the night too. Luckily on those occasions I woke up and realised I was having a hypo and treated accordingly.

Thanks. I have read your post on the Diet Doctor. Well done to you for losing the weight. Very inspiring. Will certainly try eating less carbs and hope one day to be able to fully embrace low carb eating.

Hi, its mixed insulin. Humulin M3 30% soluble insulin, 70% Isophane insulin, a mixture of low and fast acting.

Hey Since lockdown 1, and having to work from home (now for almost a year, like most people I suppose!), my weight has gradually been creeping up. Before lockdown I had managed to lose 2 stone (following Slimming World) and had really good blood sugar and Hba1C was at 58. Morning readings were...

I have just found out that a family member has died and we have yet to break the news to my 80 year old mother who is type 2. This news is going to be a terrible shock to her and I know that she will be extremely upset. I have to go and break the news to her in the morning and I was going to buy...

Commiserations on your diagnosis. I have been referred yo the Community Diabetes Clinic after year of care via my doctor' surgery diabetic nurse. They have talked about increasing my insulin, changing it to 4 fast acting insulin doses per day. I did not want to do the 4 injections a day and...

Thank you all for your advice. I am trying to follow a lower carb eating plan, I haven't yet worked out what the best foods are to eat and what time of the day to eat them. I have contemplated cutting out carbs in my evening meal to see if my overnight blood sugars go down. Has anyone tried...

Thanks for the advice mo1905. Have tried setting small goals. Most times i can't even achieve a 1lb weight loss a week despite watching what I eat and exercising. Will continue and see what happens. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App
