Just like Bebo321 says. Follow the yellow brick road. It's all here in this forum. Good advice from those who are in the same boat as you and me. Start a new diet. Maybe Low carb. and get active. Really active. Brisk walks if possible. Start them short and as you get more used to them, increase...

Not a bad idea to read the leaflets now and again. Some times one can get quite a suprise. I have been on 2x500mgm of Metformin daily for over 6 months now and was beginning to thimk they were the Bees Knees.

My diet is just Low carb. But lots of small fruit and low fat Greek type yoghurt. With a sneaky Greggs fresh cream doughnut occasionally. if no one is looking. Eggs. Oh yes two, several times a week, in various forms, followed by the blueberries and Greek yoghurt and real coffee and cream. (I...

I halved my Metformin recently due to good results. Didn't work. I'm back to 2x 500mgm. But things have settled down agaain. I'm more concerned with the Levothyroxine at 175 mgm. In 30 years I have never taken that much as a daily dose.

Testing will be advised by many here. So you need a test meter etc which can be purchased on the internet (I can recommend Gluco Next) which I use who will send one by return post with full instructions how to use. If you dont have the confidance to buy on the internet, Boots sell test meters...

I am so sorry.You know what to do, but plucking up the courage to dial 999 when you are able to do so without involving 'others'. You really need to . Dont think too deeply about later effects. Just do it. For your own sake. I wish you luck and the courage.

That's so sad Hornplayer. These, so well intentioned people, just cannot be convinced whatever evidence is put before them. It's almost like a religion. We just have to roll with it and keep eating the low carbs and winning. Cheers:dummy1:

Maybe you should try a real ale. Now that has taste in addition too alcohol.

luna50. Please don't tar every one with the same brush. Those that have some success with their diet are pleased and wish to share their good fortune with others. I have had some success in this respect but I know that I am not cured. I have to keep testing and checking. Maybe I will have a set...

Interesting. I'm just me. (Even that is lower case. )

Hi Lawsonmarg. You have come to the right place. Everybody here wants to help, but often with conflicting advice. But that is not supprising seing as diabetes effects people in different ways. You will find out what is best for you in no time. Testing your blood regularly before breakfast and...

Congrats. A great story. You are doing most things right. The only thing I can add is exercise,and you have already considered that. But don't just think about it. Do it..Take it easy at first. Try to enjoy it. Biuld up slowly. Very good luck to you. You will win.

There is something missing in this story. WShat medicine is required and what is the emergency that a doctor cannot supply for 48 hrs. There is a mystery here.:shifty:

I like peanut butter, but not with jello. The blue **** that infest my garden seem to dispose of a jar every week so they are quite happy. (Well not the jar, just the contents.) What do you apply the peanut butter to could be relevent. Or do you eat it by the spoonful ?o_O

And I thought I was the only one with 20-20 vision after wearing glasses since I was 14. My optician wants to give me another check in 4 weeks after two recent checks with variable results. It would seem that excess glucose has a lot to answer for.:watching:

Great. Blame this site. I do. Thank God.

Oh Boy ! Roast beef and cheese with tomato. Some sandwich. I'll look in the fridge and make one up now. Oh ****** no beef. It's 1030 pm, too late to shop. I will try to hold out until tomorrow. Oh the pain !!!!!!! Sorry.

Wow ! This gets interesting. By the way. Who or what are these Ketones. Are they a new group ?

I love it when you disagree. There must be some hope for me after all.;)

My story is similar to yours. Diagnosed last Sept. and was advised not to test, just take the Mets .One after breakfast and then one after lunch. Then I found out about this site. I studied somewhat regarding Diabetes and found that opinions varied enormously. In November I had a further test as...
