That's interesting, thanks for the info.

I think they all serve to help the body regulate your BG, so you won't go too low.

Good luck :)

Just about back to normal. I did it in 4:52:22. Not as quick as I would have liked, but there's always next time :)

How long were you on them?

Not sure yet, yesterday was the first day without taking anyway, so will be interesting to see if I start feeling any difference. I have been taking them so long now that I am don't really remember the difference at the moment.

I ran my marathon, but ended up running it on behalf of the RNLI due to the nature of my work and friends who work offshore. Raised £365.

Good news. As my Hba1c was good yesterday, my doctor has decided to take me off of the last of my medication. Was on 500mg Metformin daily after coming down from 2x500mg some time ago. My hba1c has been good the past twice that I have been to the clinic and they have therefore decided to take me...

I''ve had a lot of hard, dry skin on my feet for a while now. I went in to Boots yesterday and bought a cream for this and a file specifically for this. On getting home I noticed on the side of the packet "Not for people with Diabetes." Does anyone use these products regardless of the warning...

Thanks for the advice guys. Will let you know what I decide to do and how I get on :)

I have recently started running and plan to run a half marathon in July. I am just wondering if it is worth doing it for charity or not and whether there are any good Diabetes charities (I assume Diabetes UK would be the best one) worth doing it for. Does anyone have any info on this that...

It's not rightly so that people are getting confused. See the post below to see what I was talking about.

That was it, thanks. I see he links to the radio show too. I think this is going to confuse and worry a lot of people, who follow Diabetes UK. Their stance needs to be cleared up quickly, because their rep on the show came across really poorly.

An interesting feature on Radio 4 today during the 'You and Yours' programme (was on at 12:17 to 12:25 during the one hour programme, for those that want to catch it on iPlayer). A doctor having a go at Diabetes UK regarding their advice to include starchy carbs in every meal and a diabetes UK...

Our gym doesn't have RPM :(

I found the answers here viewtopic.php?f=20&t=22468 Sorry! Should have searched.

What is the relationship between depression and diabetes? I ask, because at my clinic appointment they asked if I had any signs of depression.

I started noticing small differences very quickly, but they were more to do with how I felt than anything. My psoriasis cleared up in a matter of weeks. I think that other people started to notice improvements in me quicker than I did. I started in March and when I went to an annual event in...

Angeleyes is right, working out will build lean muscle mass, which weighs more than fat does. For this reason, get yourself a tape measure and both weigh yourself and measure yourself. Choose the same time of day and the same circumstances each time too. I've lost very little weight since I...

Thanks all for the advice, it is appreciated. I''ll give my GP surgery a ring in the morning.
