Hi tiredoftrying2017, I am T2 but would follow as I love taking photos and would like to see other people’s photos too.

I change mine every time.

I am going to enjoy Christmas and if that means having a few nibbles (I mean maybe 5 or 6)or a mince pie and brandy cream or a bit of Christmas pud then I will but I know my body will not want anything more but at least I won’t feel like I am missing out.

No Walmart here in the UK. I do receive my test strips and lancets on a free prescription every month.

I was told by my DN that as someone with T2 I was a high risk and to have the flu jab. (Never had one before diagnosis) so had a jab in October and no after effects.

acs1951, I too was on Gliclazide 80mg a day then reduced to 40mg a day and then taken off it with a HbA1c of 37. (I am one of those slim T2 with no need to lose weight but lost a stone) put on Metformin and suffered a lot so put on Metformin SR and still suffering and loosing weight (slowly). I...

I am currently on 500mg a day of Metformin SR. At diagnosis my HbA1c was 78 and was put straight onto Gliclazide 80mg a day, that was then reduced to 40mg and then taken off and put on Metformin which my body did not like and now I have been on Metformin SR. Still having issues like nausea, loss...

Oops pressed the wrong button. Headaches, ankle swelling, joint pain and muscle aches so taken off and put on metformin SR and a simvastatin. Still having a few problems but not like before.

Hi, I was on a artorvastatin for a month and metformin and felt constantly sick, loss of appetite

Neither but a G&T Love Christmas yes or no

My first diabetic vegetarian Christmas - in other years I have had a homemade pastry/halloumi concoction but maybe not this year. I will cook turkey for the rest of the family and the roast potatoes (well I will have 1) but I like them roasted dry - no Christmas pud, no mince pies or celebration...

I went to see the DN today and she said it is the cholesterol tablet causing bad moods, swollen ankles, muscles aches, joint pain, a feeling of can’t be bothered, chest pain, headaches and constipation but the Metformin is causing nausea, stomach aches and loss of appetite. So I am to stop the...

Hi Charly1, I am on 10mg of Amlopidine and have been since April with no change to moods until I started Metformin 3 weeks ago and now I want to bite every bodies head off, nausea, loss of appetite, raised bs, swollen ankles and constipation = so unhappy.

I was on 80mg of Gliclazide a day for 4 months, it was reduced to 40mg a day due to hypos and then taken off after another 3 months due to hypos and I lost a stone altogether. Now on Metformin which I am really struggling with.

Good luck for tomorrow Daisyduck.

I have a blood meter, that is how I know my bs are in double figures, I am on a lclf diet. I have been on Gliclazide since April and have brought my HbA1c from 78 down to 37. I already know what foods spike me and avoid them.

No I can’t get an appointment until the 23rd November.

I forgot the fuzzy constant headache as well!

I have an appointment next week to see the DN, I don’t want her to say that I haven’t given it a fair go, also I am scared to go it alone with no meds.

I have been on Metformin for 6 days (still only 1 tablet) and I have stomach cramps, nausea, loss of appetite, swollen ankles and bs in double figures and this tablet is meant to be helping me, feel like giving up!
