That's great news, well done. It's great to hear when someone is helped by the advice on the Forum.

I use normal skin products, always have done, do not see the need for special creams unless prescribed for some specific problem.

We're always here for added support if you need us. Good for SS, they do come through for you when you need them.

The best way of testing is to test when you get up....This gives you a sort of base line for the day. Then test 2 hours after your breakfast to see the effect that has had on you. Before and two hours after each main meal is a good practice till you see what your Bg levels are doing. No need to...

Just curious ! :oops:

Who did get it then ?

If it is painful or causing you problems with mobility because it is affecting your sight then you should see the doctor about it. There are many things this could relate to such as medication, blood pressure etc. If you are worried about it does your GP do telephone consultations ? This way...

Welcome to the Forum Robert. Although you are not a new Diabetic it sounds like you are struggling with dietary control. Below is the advice we give to new Diabetics which may help you bring down your levels and perhaps even avoid going onto Insulin as well. It may also be that some...

A normal non-diabetic Hba1c is 3.5%.....5.5 %. In Diabetes an Hba1c of around 6.5 % is considered good. It is good if Diabetics can get lower than 6.5% by tight control though, helps stave off complicatons.

Range for TSH is 0.35 .........3.3 mu/L according to my lab ranges. So you are within the normal range. If you are concerned please discuss it with the GP.

We are the same and I live in a town ! :( Do you have any family or good neighbours who would help ?

Machinery, built to specifications should, in theory, all work the same. The Human body, however, although possessing the same basic biological workings, works differently in everyone because of all the differing factors.......if only it was that simple to solve.

I was in a highly stressful job, this actually caused my diabetes because the stress elevated my blood sugars and blood pressure. After losing weight it certainly helped control my diabetes but I still have to watch what i eat etc. Good luck with your dreams, I hope you achieve them.

I'm unmedicated and I've had several hypo's. Usually after not much food and too much exercise. The difference is of course that a 'liver dump' usually brings it back up but at the time I would not have been safe behind the wheel of a car !

Just contact One Touch/Lifescan and you should get batteries and control solution free of charge.

Hi TSP, by starting to gain control over your diabetes you have accepted it. Acknowledging a problem is always the first step to accepting it. It took me a few months to get my head round the fact I was diabetic but now we live side by side and I just get on with it. It must be really...

Welcome to the forum Garry, Did your doctor tell you what your Hba1c is ? Many doctor's tell Type 2's not to test as this saves the practice money on test strips which are expensive. However, it is very important for a new Type 2 to test as this is the only way you will find out how the foods...
