I have just done the xpert course. The leader was really nice, but didn't really know much. She was t1d and told us that it was all our own fault. Not in so many words, but she did say that she keeps telling her husband that if he does not watch his weight he will end up with t2d. She said...

Hello @BB8.HG and welcome. I can only say what everyone else has said. The most important thing is to get bg down, and all else will follow. For many people if they lose enough weight then they find that their t2d goes into remission. But this is by no means a given. I have lost 36kgs and am...

Will it be t1 or t2 heavy? I would like to go.

Wow!!!!!! Well done. I can see your little happy dance from here!!!!

Again, thank you. The nurse ordered the second blood test. But she went on long term sick and has now left. I did ask.for an appointment with another nurse because I had recurrent thrush and my bgl was all.over the shop. Was told.one would phone me, but they didnt. No point in phoning again...

Hello, and thanks for the concern!. I am on metformin. My last hbalc was 36. I was dx because of carpel tunnel syndrome led to as blood test. The gp phoned me to say I was also hypothyroid, there was a prescription waiting for me at reception and by the way, see the practice nurse. So a month...

I must admit I was surprised. When we first started going out as sort of visitors and not really tourists I thought all the food would be fresh veg and the Mediterranean diet that's in all the diet books!. I was amazed to find out that we had more of a Mediterranean diet at home. I think that I...

I have only seen a nurse once since dx last June and she did not weigh me. Nobody has mentioned a return visit, although I did have an hbalc recently. As that was ok the receptionist said I didn't need to see anyone, so I suppose no weigh in until my hbalc goes up.

Another vote for getting a meter. I doubt that the hospital will say you need one, unless you take drugs to increase insulin. And I also, had none of the symptoms of t2d. Still diabetic though.

I thought surely she has got that wrong?? But no!! It is £26.00 for 14 slices!!! Good grief. At that price I would hang it on the wall and ask everyone to admire my brand new bread.

Hello and welcome to the forum. Yes, liver dumps are part of our lives. Some people manage to almost eliminate them, but I have not done that. Are you on medication at all? How is the diet going?

Totally forgot why I came here!!! I am 8.2 this am.

Thank you. I am hopeful that my oh is getting an interview this week and I am applying for work. Its hard tho. I look after my grandchildren so that my daughter and d in law can work, so that's going to be really difficult to manage. But in the great scheme of things its not too bad. I keep...

I think the honey is to take away the taste of the vinegar. Because it is truly foul!! If you get the vinegar make sure to get the one with the mother, otherwise it is just the same as table vinegar. I got some because I also have hashimotos disease, but tbh even if it was going to save my life...

Hello and welcome. Are you trying to eat differently? Or lose weight?

You are quite right! I have no idea which one is more accurate. I am going to use the new one, which gives the lower result. I think I may have fixed my high fbg problem in the mornings.

Hello all. I have been having a problem with my bsl for a while. I have just started an xpert course and she gave us all a new glucomen areo meter. I have been using a glucomen gm meter. Today I used both at the same time. Same drop of blood from same finger. The areo said 6.3 and the gm 8.4...

I thought metformin was a staple for pcos. A good friend is on it for that reason. Have a look around, do nice have guidelines on this?

Hello all. 8.5 today. Really getting worried about it now. Goes up to +10 during the day sometimes.

Its listed as a problem on the info leaflet with my levo. And it was a pharmacist that first told me about it, when she realised I was on both. But my gp did not seem to think it was a problem. The metformin can lower tsh. It really does not affect your level of t4 or how you feel, it just...
