Hi everyone .. Just wondered if anyone as suffered from yellow diarreha ? I was diagnosed about 18 months ago.. I'm on 1000 SR metformin a day.. About 30 mins after eating I get awful smelling yellow diarreha. I've also got constant nagging pain in my upper tummy going through to my back that's...

I said previously anything NOT related to diabetes should not be free. Not everything people get on prescription is related to diabetes? I get lansoprazole on prescription and have done for years that is because I have a hiatus hernia and no my diabetes did not cause it. I've had pain killers...

This may be a bit controversial but diabetic patients get free prescriptions. My personal opinion is you should get free prescriptions for what is related only to your diabetes this may include if you need antibiotics ect. Other medication that is not related to diabetes shouldn't be free...

I agree Alex.. While it is very sad situation,I'm afraid to say the nursing staff will have little say in what is being fed to the patient unless they prepare and make it themselves? Which we all know this is impossible.. Maybe Gary you should be looking into hospital food? [WINKING FACE] The...

I am going to have mine removed but wanted to shift a few pounds first before going under the knife.. Just need about another stone off first.. I'm trying to control mine by eating hardly any fat but I don't know if its working? Still having flare ups! It's got me wondering if its all related...

Good luck Craig, whatever you decide to do. There will always be people that will and people that won't .. My main problem is getting food for on the go..i.e if my day doesn't go to plan! It's all well and good having good intentions to pre prepare at home ect but its not always that easy. So...

I say go for it Craig.. Positive thoughts. All people are differant.. I myself have never tried diabetic stuff, that maybe because there is little choice? Everyone is low carb now so another idea. The gluten free seems a good idea too.. Maybe a trip back to America to do some research on the...

Hi I'm not sure trying to flush them is a good idea but thanks for the suggestion. I have read that this can be done but it also comes with some mcomplications ? Many people don't know how big there stoned are untill there out! So they could maybe become trapped/ lodged somewhere they...

Hi I'm just trying to put mine off but I know it will be sooner rather than later when I have it removed. I'm just trying to control it! Any ideas would be welcome please. It's just things like I go on holiday abroad tommorow and I'm so scared its going to play up while I'm away! Sent from...

Thanks Whitby jet... I've just been reading through a few posts and see some people are on 2000mg a day so feel a bit better. Just was worried that I might go a bit too low overnight even though they say you can't have lows on Metformin ? Lesson learnt.. Thanks again Sent from the Diabetes...

p.s was it the actual pharmacist or a member of staff? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Print the form off or even better the info off the Boots website and take it back to the said Pharmacist .. and see what they have to say? If no joy ask to speak to the manager.. Tell them that they are giving out wrong info! and the pharmacist should be more knowledgeable. I used to work for...

Yes spot in GraceK.. That is the difference, if you give your thoughts on a subject you shouldn't be shot down and told your wrong. I always try to say 'MAYBE' or 'I feel that' not this is how it is and your wrong. Not everyone agrees with what we may have to say and people can give there...
