Re: Metformin + Gliclazide + Excercise Seems to be working What are the numbers are each side of the yo yo....mine now seems to be around 5 to 10.

Re: Metformin + Gliclazide + Excercise Seems to be working Yes, I will do, because I'm on Glic, I finally got prescribed a meter and test strips as they need to give you them if on Glic as it carries with it the Hypo risk. Been told Hypos can be experienced if the number hits 4 and below. I now...

Hi Folks, I've had high blood sugars for a while now, initially on Metformin, which did nothing to reduce sugars, but has allowed me to lose weight (from 18.7 stone to just under 16 stone now). Cutting carbs did not help that much either. So Doctor put me on Gliclazide 80mg once a...

This is the link to the one I've ordered, seems a fair price. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1908 ... UTF8&psc=1

Yes, I'd had a recommendation to try the Lizzies as even on the packet it does state clearly, designed for slow release. The proportions of the ingredients looked ok. I guess it boils down to different foods react differently for people depending on how severe your diabetes is, mine seems to...

I have been on Metformin for a while now, and never had stomach upsets, but I do have a lot of dizzeness...and sore arms and legs...so not sure if that's side effects of the drug....which seems to make no noticable difference anyway....making me think I should just stop taking it !

Thanks Cara, I will order the book on Amazon now. I was 18.5 stone, but the metformin alone with no diet change, has allowed me to drop to 15 stone 10lbs, which I've been for some months now. I think I could easily drop another stone to a stone and a half.... Time I took the condition...

I've just taken another blood sugar test. Fasting level this morning was 12.1, I've have a 60g bowl of Lizzies Granola with full fat milk, 1 x 500g Metformin, and at work a Grande Americano with millk....and now my blood sugar is 14.6 ! Do I need to make an appointment with a doctor ?

I have ignored my condition since diagnosis some 18-24 months ago. And thinking back, I've probably had Type 2 for some years prior to diagnosis. What has scared me recently is I've noticed I've been getting very very tired at night even after a good nights sleep. I did think it was just due to...

Thanks Anna, I guess I'll stick with my nano too....use one meter, it's probably more important that I keep the levels low and I monitor what causes rises....cheers

Hi Anna, I don't even know what Hba1c is ! But from the print out from the Hospital when I was in for heart paliptations (not sure if Diabetes related) I see a string hb 174, wcc 5.6, crp 2, ur 5.2, LFT ca2= and alnumin normal glucose 17.6

Thanks Maria, I'll order it.

Hi Folks, I've been given a test kit (GlucoMen and Accu-Chek)....and they vary a lot....the Accu Check just gave me a reading of 4.9, and the GM 7.2....... So which one is accurate I wonder !

Hi Anna, sure...if you read the British Medical Association press book on Diabetes, it states the management of Diabetes (Type 2) is best done via balanced diet that can include bread, potatoes, pasta ect, and even fruit. A friends Mum who has had Type 1 for over 50 years told me to disregard...

Hi Folks, I'm newly diagnosed with Type 2, and so far am frustrated that UK Medical Practitioners say ok to Carbs....and I'm still awaiting my diet chat with my local pratice, which I'm sure will advocate eating carbs... I know this is not the place to debate the validity of low carb...

Hi Folks, I'm 35 and newly diagnosed with Type 2. A good friend of mine suggested I speak to his Mum as she's been Type 1 for over 50 years now....and she has trained as a nutitionist and has educated herself in general all things Diabetes related. She suggested that I read and adopt Richard K...

Hi All, My name is James and I'm 35 and recently been diagnosed with Type 2. I am not stressed or depressed about it, but am frustrated at the amount of contradictory diet information that is out there....
