I have read quite a bit on here about statins. Tried them a couple of times and both times had excruciating headaches, muscle pain and stomach cramps. I have been following LCHF for 3 months now, and I've lost about 8 kilos. Feeling better, taking more exercise and seeing results. Had bloods...

Yes I have - what a pair we are! Are you having treatment for your Lymphodema? I used to be a Fundraiser for a Hospice that did excellent treatment. Don't get me started on menopause - I've suffered badly for over 15 years and it was the HRT strong dose that caused my blood clots!

Hi Cupcake, Sorry to hear you also had a BT. I had Gamma Knife treatment in Sheffield, so no intrusive surgery, but side effects of the treatment caused a TIA. From there I seemed to go downhill, with ongoing balance problems and I was eventually diagnosed with BPPV. Anemia and deficient D, then...

I'm generally higher than that first thing - liver dump.

Well I tried wool but found the memory foam better FOR ME. No idea why, just happy that it works.

I had terrible problems keeping my feet warm, since becoming diabetic and also taking Warfarin. Tried fluffy socks and hand knit wool socks, but have recently bought the best thing in the world for cold feet - memory foam slippers. Mine are Bobs by Skechers and they aren't cheap, but boy do...

9.1 this morning - liver dump again.

That is exactly what is happening - 3 monthly. Will be interesting to see what my next reading is. Still concerned about high FBG.

I haven't seen anyone since I started testing my BS. Due to have bloods taken soon, then an iterim diabetic review with my GP. I refuse to see the SDN at the practice as she is useless. Will discuss it with my GP in the hope that he can suggest something.

I haven't posted for a while as we've just had lots of work done on the house, so my testing has been a bit erratic. The bad news is that no matter what I do, my FBS is still too high - anything from a frightening 10.1 to 7.8 It does go down over the day though, so obviously liver dump. Good...

I haven't posted for a while as we've been so busy with lots of work on the house, so my testing has been a bit erratic. Still having a problem with high readings in the morning - 8.3 this morning. Good news is that I have now lost over a stone.

With great difficulty is the answer. Plastic dentures pressing onto unhealed gums are painful. I was on liquid painkillers and antibiotics for a while.

Copey, I'm exactly the same - weight loss has stalled and readings are higher. So disheartening. My house is chaotic at the moment and I'm really stressed, so I'm trying not to think about my BG and make things worse, so just testing my FBG and last thing at night at the moment.

How much is blood glucose affected by stress? I know that there is no categorical answer to this, but just wondering what people's experience has been. My levels have been significantly higher over the last week. I haven't eaten anything different, but I know my stress levels are high at the...

I needed implants as i had to have all my teeth removed in order to have the treatment I needed for my Brain Tumour. The NHS made a terrible mess of my jaw and I had 6 dry sockets. My dentures were never comfortable and eventually I got a referral to our local Dental Hospital. It was a long...

I feel your pain as I'm in a similar place at the moment. Weight loss seems to have stopped. I'm not sleeping due to hot flushes and I'm busy packing up the house so that we can be decorated and have new carpets. I'm tired and almost permanently hungry so I must be doing something wrong. Like...

I was back down to 7.0 after having a snack before bed - **** this liver dump!

Decided not to have a snack last night and my FBG has shot up to 8.0 this morning :grumpy:
