Some companies will allow you to fill in the form on their site. It's not long or complicated, but it absolves the company from any blame if you were cheating as any one can say they have diabetes. You have nothing to worry about. Fill it in with a clear concience.:rolleyes:

Hi Carterbpool Good advice given. It's a Call To Action. Don't wait. (Well you might have to in the A&E). But be Safe, not Sorry.:rolleyes::oops:

I see my db nurse tomorrow. You have me worried. I too have lost over 2 stone, blood pressure down and I am within the rec, bg of 4.5-7. If it was decided to increase my Metformin from 2 to 4 I would refuse unless they had a very good explanation. You do need an explanation.:eek:

Hi Jacell I take ten separate meds. and like you I tend to forget something at least once a day. I put pills where I cant miss them. But I do. My wonderful wife keeps reminding me, (when she remembers). I even forget to test, so that is often late. Despite all this I am still alive and kicking...

Hi Lindesfel Reading all the above it would seem that there is little to add. I too get called skinny by my loved ones, but it is wearing the oversize clothes of a past era that cause it. Buy something new that actually fits your new slimline look. You will be amazed at the change in attitude...

Do get yourself a meter and use it regularly to ensure that you know what food is giving you high readings. Have a good old fashioned breakfast of bacon and eggs. (Note the plural). Test before breakfast and 2 hours after. My exercise consists of a brisk 2 mile walk after breakfast every day if...

Always buy on line as I don't get prescription free. Boots don't always stock my type Gluco RX Nexis but Diabetes.co.uk do, and they are the best price.:rolleyes:

I take one Metformin 500 mcg after breakfast and one after lunch. It works for me. On a personal LC diet. Not fat free.:D

I'm fairly new to T2 (Sept 2015) I was advised to take Metformin 500 mcg x 2 daily after meals and I did reduce the extras. No in-between snacks and a bit more exercise. This had a limited effect but encouraging so I boosted the exercise to at leasst 2 miles a day when possible. That got me out...

Hi Anne. Welcome to the forum. This is the place to be for information. I have been t2 for eight months and I have received most of my info regarding diabetes from this forum. On advice I started on a low carb diet. I have lost that fat blob attached to my middle and a weight of 2 1/2 stone has...

Boy o boy. Have you come to the right place. Er ! Yes. I took advice from here and went on a LC diet. Since Sept. last I have lost 2 1/2 stones. The diet is great. I have the best regular breakfasts that I have ever had. I do miss some of my past favourite dinners but make up with a great start...

Eggs is good. Boiled, scrambled etc. with cheese. mushrooms, bacon, sausages, ham, Start the day with a good breakfast. Then go for a two mile walk. It helps the digestion. Unless of course, you have to work.. But that may also help digestion or not, depending on your type of work. Sitting down...

I too would have transgressed, but if you eat the cake you take the punishment. Isn't life unfair.? But you still enjoyed the cake. Yes ?

She was trying to help. Most people know very little about diabetes and what they do know is usually 'old wives tales'. Don't get upset, bare in mind that many doctors and other health experts know very little about what a diabetic should eat. So your aunt is in good company.

I have to agree with Josie. Although it is difficult not to compare with others, but best to just compare with your own results.

I have to agree with Josie. Although it is difficult not to compare with others, only yourself.

5.5 mml. Happy with that.

I too take Metformin+Thyroxine=bp pills+paracetamol. Should I be dead ?

Every thing I know regarding T2 has been gathered from diabetes.co.uk. Long may they speak.

Interesting. Any details regarding the calories etc. please.
