I am going to a family wedding tomorrow. This is my first 'going out' since diagnosis 11 weeks ago. I have the usual issues with Metformin although I seem to go for days without problems. The last few days have not been good and I am wondering if I just took the morning one plus the...

B: Porridge and cream. L:. Salmon and cucumber sandwich on small granary slices of bread. D:Bacon, eggs, mushrooms and tom's. Several ground coffees and cream. 4 opal fruits. ! BGC tonight 7.8. 11 weeks into this so not too bad beats the diagnostic level of 21.3. Still work to...

One needle phobic to another! I am T2 but was issued with a testing kit because I take Gliclazide. It took me 3 hours the first time, 11 weeks later I do do it before and after most meals. It does not hurt it's just a sensation, you will get use to it, it's has to become a way of life so deep...

I am a newbie to this, just 10 weeks. I have followed the LCHF diet with some success. I had lost weight anyway before diagnosis but I am maintaining and losing a few more pounds. My HbAc1 level was down from 135 to 72 in just 8 weeks and I think that was largely due to the LCHF diet that I...

I am only 10 weeks into this so still need lots of help! I have just been reading an article on Diet Dr about intermittent fasting. I was under the impressions that, taking metformin and gliclazide meant, that you had to eat? Do you fast and, if you do what is the effect? The other question...

7.2. I just don't seem to be able to this Down. it is consistent though! Only 10 weeks in. Average over 30 days is 6.6 so bit confused really. Sent from my MotoE2(4G-LTE) using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

Thank you. I had a quick look through my food diary and I am wondering g if it might be nuts! Will have to blood test them and see! My issue seems to occur early evening, I think it's a bit of just get on with it really. It's not everyday so not sure it would merit the change to SR...

Thank you. I have not even seen my GP since diagnosis! If I ever see him I will ask! Sent from my MotoE2(4G-LTE) using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

I am Type 2 and was diagnosed 10 weeks ago. I disagree with you about 60% would not test. Where did you get that data from? I test before and after meals as well as after introducing new foods to my LCHF diet. My HbA1c level dropped by 52% in 8 weeks as a result of testing. I believe that...

Meant to say 40mgs not 400!!!! Sent from my MotoE2(4G-LTE) using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

I have taken Metformin 1500mgs daily and 400mgs of Gliclazide for 10 weeks now. I go for days without experiencing the nasty side effects then all of a sudden we are off again. I keep a food diary but I cannot work out any reason or pattern. Is this others experience? My running and...

Thank you. I guess we just keep going x

I have had to write a few strongly worded letters about the general support, accessibility and altercations! I regret having to do it but I am afraid that sometimes it is a must.

First results following diagnosis 8 weeks ago. HbAc1 was 135 on diagnosis now down to 74 but, I have been told that ideally it needs to be under 53!!!!! My fasting level was down from 23.9 to 7.2. Apparently that is all pretty good for 8 weeks. I have been following the LCHF diet my question...

Thank you. Its all much of a likeness. Still, I believe that we are all better off communicating with ourselves because, whatever it is we need to know somebody on here will be informed. All pretty shocking really.

I was diagnosed 4 weeks ago, given a BG testing machine, 1500 metformin, 40 Gliclazide and increased level of thryroxine (that should have been upped 3 months prior) and from which I feel has possible pushed me into diabetes. I have been on it for 30 years, again nobody would listen. I have...

Hi. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes on the 29th February. I have been put straight onto Metformin 1500 and Ziclazide 40 a day. I have lost over 2 stone in 2 months. I have no idea what my Hba1c is because I was too shocked to take in the details being thrown at me! I have been given...
