Hello and welcome @Junell As others have said- read around the four and ask questions- given you are not yet diabetic you may not need to make radical changes :) Good luck and welcome.

Hello and welcome @Benny Verca As @Rachox said we cannot give medical advice, however, I second her suggestion to register at a different practice. What I have always done with a new practise is to book a long consultation and take some notes with me of the top 3-4 things I want to...

Hello and welcome @jrose444 Congratulations on your pregnancy. It does sound like your grandmother is anxious. I hope everything settles down so you can prioritise your own health both physical and mental. Welcome and take care.

hello and welcome @Mousey123 As others have said- there are more than 2 types of diabetes so give yourself some grace while the necessary tests are done. There are also a lot of people here with a vast amount of knowledge and experience so you have a huge resource you will be able to draw...

Hi @Lovejoy00 I agree with most of the previous posters. I think that it's good for your records to have accurate information. If you can't talk to your doctor honestly maybe you need to consider finding a different doctor. It certainly took me some time to find a doctor that accepted the fact...

Hello and welcome @can_i_has_remission I agree with @KennyA the symptoms you described are not necessarily caused by diabetes. I really strongly recommend that you go back to the doctor. I do not think it's a good idea to assume you have imagined the symptoms- much better to get checked out.

Hello and welcome @Le Duan you're definitely not alone in being in denial and not managing your diabetes. Having said that it really is in your interests to start managing it while you are symptom free. If you are able to self fund a CGM for a while I certainly recommend it. Finger pricking...

Hello and welcome @Anits Just a question- is there a particular reason he is anxious to get off metformin? I completely understand the desire to be drug free but just wondering whether he has any reactions to it or other factors to want to be off it as soon as possible. I was fortunate and...

Hello and welcome @T1Steve That sounds really tough! I'm glad you have found the forum. There are so many really knowlegeable people here and I'm sure some will post soo. I'll tag @EllieM @Antje77 and @Melgar who may be able to provide some better advice than I can. Just be aware this is a...

H @LucySW Your husband sounds very like me when I was first diagnosed. In fact the only good news about a low carb diet was not needing to eat vegetables (other than potatoes which I love). My experience is that it's a lot to take on- this is just my take on it. The thought of a diet which...

Hello and welcome @bensonamandaw Completely agree with @Antje77 . There are some suggestions which may help but you are likely to get more responses if you start your own thread. I would suggest you include information about your diet, and medication and your HbA1C and any other information...

Another hello and welcome Read around the forum and ask questions- this place is full of amazing people who are willing to listen and share their stories. I have found the advice and support I received from this forum changed my life- I am very grateful for all those who listened to me and let...

Hello @Damba - another welcome from me.

Hi @Majii In relation to bloods being higher when you haven't eaten- I find that my levels increase from when I wake up until I eat something. I usually go for a walk first thing (impatient dogs who do not believe in sleeping in!) and my levels rise until I get back home and actually eat...

Hello and welcome @peterRabbit I love the name :) Your wife is lucky to have someone that is interested in providing her with information and support. I don't know how your wife is feeling but I know that when I was diagnosed I did not take it well to say the least. Even after discovering...

Hello and welcome @amaka tochi I hope you find the forum as welcoming and as helpful as I have. It sounds like you are already able to manage your diabetes. Welcome and good luck.

Hello and welcome @Kaz65* It sounds like you're having a really frustrating time - it must be really tough. As someone who's not on any medication I am not any help to you except to offer a virtual hug. I hope things get better. Welcome and good luck

Hello and welcome @AKAGregg Well I'm going to start with some advice :) The first thing I always recommend is that you get a glucose monitor. I will also recommend diet changes but you can't know if my recommendations are any good unless you can monitor your levels. The monitor is what will...

Hello and welcome @Biffa1967

Hi @Tatesin - I feel your pain- one of the things I miss is the crust of sourdough bread. I'll be honest and say I had a little bit of the crust last night. I really loved it but not feeling great today- I have an intolerance to gluten which becomes really bad when I don't have it for a while-...
