    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    Bad day on metformin

    I think everyone is different where this stuff is concerned and when I first started taking it I did have some problems afterward, although initially on one 500mg a day I can say that I knew I'd had it when it came to the next visit to the toilette. The pharmacist asked a month or so later how I...

    Dodgy hands

    I would suggest having another word with your doctor about the discomfort. My blood sugars are relatively low I think but only earlier this year did I start with pins and needles in my hands which I thought could be neuropathy, after a visit to two GP's both ruled this out because apparently...

    Privatised NHS? Paying for insulin?

    I'm not going to argue this point because we can argue about the NHS until the cows come home and still disagree. What I will tell you is that where I live the hospitals have ALL been closed under a Labour government, and if they were serious about making sure the NHS was run properly they...

    Insulin levels

    It sounds like they've just seen the word diabetic and gone 'Ape'! If a letter from your GP is what they require for the file!! then let then have it, but i'd make sure the GP in not one that will charge you for such a letter as some would. If there is a charge then tell your employer to write...

    Privatised NHS? Paying for insulin?

    I fully agree with you on the NHS, in fact believe it or not the Hospital and A&E closures were actually started by the last Labour government when they went down the PFI route and decided to create all of these super hospitals that were in fact not built for purpose because they just were not...

    Privatised NHS? Paying for insulin?

    As mentioned it would be political suicide to make the NHS private so the answer is as a whole it will never happen. Whether or not it is privatised in part is another question and this I think yes certain parts of what we now consider the NHS will eventually be run by the private sector, or...
