Ohh WJ poor you .... I know just how you feel - its really scary when you have no one to rely on except the nurses and doctors and you have to either 'make a fuss' which seems to somehow mark you out as 'awkward' or cowtow whereupon you then become the 'ideal' patient. Just try to stick with...

I seem to be getting more sensitive to carbs For the last week I've been getting higher than ever readings with foods I already 'proved' are okay tonight I had 2 sausages, the type I've had before with no problems (bg 5.9) but tonights reading 6.7 - all I had was 2 sausages in a creamy cheese...

Thanks for the links catherine but having read through them, they seem little more than anecdotal - So basically there are no studies that prove that metformin assist in any other fashion than possibly lowering bg levels / visceral fat deposits, After further researching I found a meta study...

I've been struggling to find decent studies too. In fact the only one that I have found that seems to be a meta analysis says Furthermore, as noted above, a recent meta-analysis 7 did not confirm (P=0.89) the favourable effect of metformin on cardiovascular outcomes compared with other...

Sorry Bio - I had meant to congratulate you on those amazing figures :thumbup: :thumbup:

Out of interest, I hear a lot about the benefits of Metformin for cardiovascular protection - can anyone tell me where I can find supportive evidence ? Gilly

Well you've got that much going for you :lol: whereas I have got paranoid android disease AS WELL It does drive you bonkers doesn't it ... I have stopped looking for the good bits between the sea of cr*p and I try to tune out (much like I did as a kid when somebody said if you do ...

Hi mrsgadget The first thing is to try to understand what you've been told and what impact that has on your blood glucose - it sounds as if you have a meter and you are testing, so try to test yourself before you eat and two hours after - that way you can build up a picture of things you can...

Hi and welcome coopes - don't worry about your head you will get there ! when I first got here I thought mine was going to explode but slowly things will fall into place :) Also ask any questions, there is always someone around to help I would also 2nd Fraddys advice of getting yourself a...

Hi Fraddy congrats on the weight loss hopefully its not all water I have ketone sticks which I use if I feel I've overdone the carbs, and by that I mean 30g instead of 20g, however I do drink shedloads of water etc, so I find the only time my pee stick is purple is first thing in the am...

Pete I had begun to think along these same lines - reading up on heart disease and coming to the understanding that plaques in arteries are a result of repaired damage* I couldn't think what could be the cause of that damage unless it was something that shouldn't be there. Since I don't believe...

Two days fasting gave me a reading of 3.9 which shocked me so much I did two further readings straight away of 4.3 and 4.2 I was very happy with the 2nd & 3rd reading but thinking about the 3.9 made me panic a little and I felt a bit light headed and shaky although I'm sure that was all just...

Interesting article badcat I liked the bit “Currently, we give patients medications that force beta cells to work even harder,” said Dr. Accili. “But it’s like flogging a dying horse. You can push beta cells only so far. Our findings would suggest that treatment should begin by giving beta...

I have absolutely no problem with anyone correcting anything and for the OP it can only be helpful to have 'correct' information - however had that been your sole purpose I might not have commented - it was the spurious "Really" and "but I'm sure you know more about him that I do" that saw as...

confusedtom I wonder if you might be right about the hydration and the exercise. I've spent the last week and weekend pretty much glued to my desk, although I've done my normal 25 min dog walk I haven't got around as much as usual, nor have I had as much water as normal (papers, desk + liquid =...
