I wouldn’t normally either but with stuff like this: https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/inews.co.uk/news/health/diabetes-coronavirus-type-1-2-uk-advice-latest-high-risk-diabetic-covid-19-self-isolate-2503654%3famp Out there and the NHS too saying that diabetics should take extra measures I’m unsure

So since the Government have listed diabetes patients in the At Risk category does that mean that we are allowed to use the the segregated shopping hours set aside for emergency workers and vulnerable people? If so, when challenged how do we prove our condition? I’m asking because I’m trying...

I'd read that, thank you for posting the link though. For me the meds have been a double edge sword, in 2017/18 I was in an awful state, just left an emotionally abusive spouse of 20 years, had to leave my kids with her which broke my heart, ended up moving to Scotland with my new partner but...

Hi CondorX, the rapid withdrawal was done with my GP's help/advice, I'd been taking half my dose for 3/4 months, I then did a week on a minimal dose then nothing, I'm aware that it may take 6 weeks or more to get the Venlafaxine out of my system, I guess I'm still trying to work out what's the...

I reduced my carbs instantly, but I thought I'd have adjusted by now, like i said over the weekend I felt better than I have in ages, now I've crashed again :( I can't remember what my blood was when I got diagnosed, the Doc tested my pee and said that they normally warn of diabetes at 42/45...

So I'm about a month into a Type 2 diagnosis. Doing all I can, exercising, minimal carbs, loads of water, monitoring my blood (averaging about 6mmol/L) I've also done a rapid withdrawal from my Venlafaxine anti depressants as they are known to affect blood sugar control and I really didn't...
