There is plenty of anecdotal evidence that mild neuropathy symptoms can be reversed or contained by controlling Bg levels but the more severe the neuropathy and the more damage there is makes reversing it unlikely.

Call NHS Direct 0845 4647 and explain this to them, see what they suggest.

Welcome to the Forum, Shama, There is quite a discussion here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4142 on the Circulation Booster.

........And hindsight has twenty twenty vision ! None of us when younger think about what lies ahead of us ! Even the dire warnings handed out when it could be of use are largly ignored by most younger people with the 'it won't happen to me' mentality ! I watch my oldest son sliding towards...

Bolders a dangerous generality there !! There are many Type 1's on this Forum who became Diabetic because of various reasons and while there probably are quite a few who's lifestyle choices caused Diabetes Type 2 there are many not fat, not stuffing themselves and they still became diabetic...

Are you testing your Bg levels when this happens ? It may be that the combination of Gliclizide and the fact that you are reducing carbs is causing you to Hypo in the evening. If this continues you may need to see your doctor about it. If you are reducing carbs you may not require the...

But what is HIGH fat ? The GDA for men is 95 gm per day and for women 70gm. Does HIGH fat mean that they are eating over these amounts (((((shudder)))))) ! I am lucky if I eat 20-30 gms of fat in a day, about what I can tolerate. However the fats I do eat are all natural fats, milk, cheese ...

As a Type 1 you can probably eat starchy carbs in moderate portions and cover them with Insulin. There are Type 1's on the Forum who reduce their starchy carbs and have found that it helps reduce Bg levels and also that they can reduce their Insulin amounts. Care must be taken not the reduce too...

Anything you can't find, just ask.....

Welcome to the forum, There is a very large ( 55 pages) thread on Victoza here: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=9281&start=810#p188595 I hope that it will help answer any questions you have about Victoza.

I have read some of the 'evidence based' research that is used in the NHS. What surprised me was the amount of 'Chinese Whispers' that occur between the actual research paper and what we are told. For instance the word 'some' was used in one of the original papers in regards to how much...

A simple test Erin. Try pinching the skin on the back of your hand. If it immediately springs back then it is elastic and well hydrated. If it takes a second or two then you may need fluids etc. It would have looked plump when you had oedema but now that has gone it will look more wrinkly...

Best advice is to get Expert advice on this one. Try CAB, I'm not sure about children but DWP are tightening up on who gets DLA. Filling in the forms properly is a mine-field !

Not sure how old you are Erin but skin can also change with age. It get less elastic. Have you tried a good skin cream daily to see if that makes a difference. Once you have your blood sugar levels down to good levels it may help your skin as well, also keeping well hydrated helps.

Welcome to the Forum, 10 !!! :shock: :shock: this one makes my blood boil ! :evil: This is the NHS 'dumbing down ' the NICE guidelines so that people don't get 'disheartened'. Obviously not worried about damage to health then ! ( Enough ranting) Below is the basic advice that Ken and I give...

A quote taken from that study, these people had other issues apart from Diabetes so the question is,did they die from the lowering of HbA1c or from their other issues. Type 2 Diabetics who do not have Cardiovascular issues may be quite safe trying to lower their HbA1c down to lower numbers to...

Yep certainly is......if you are a mouse. I will wait for the human studies before I get excited about it !
