I got the 3 months to see what happens thing. Actually I got 3 weeks and the difference was noticeable in that short time so got the thumbs up for 3 months. I really don't want to go on meds, the longer I can delay it the better. My gp surgery 2-3 years ago was going to give me an OGTT (I was...

Sounds like he's threatened by you. By which I mean he is lacking in confidence and can't cope with anyone questioning what he says. There are people on here who take glic why not ask a specific question to see if they have some idea why he'd stop you taking it. Bet someone on here has been...

And another well done from me.

When I had high blood sugars (before I was diagnosed) I couldn't do anything. The slightest thing would exhaust me. Once I had started on a low carb diet I had energy to spare and I've been walking for miles ever since. I started the diet first, and the testing to see what effect the food...

Oh no I was told it was for life. What haven't they told me. :wideyed:

Ooooh harsh but true Mr Pot. LOL.

ickihun the fact that you also have a fatty liver interests me. When I was diagnosed my DN nurse was going to put me on Metformin even though I have a fatty liver. (she knew that I had it) It was the fact that at the time I had IBS so bad that if I ate anything I couldn't leave the house so...

I booked in for a flu jab and when I went along got offered the pneumonia one as well. I'm sure that they said we only have it once, not every year.

They did it in a different arm. Just remembered it bruised as well. Lucky though that the flue jab arm didn't react, I don't sleep on my back. They are running another flu jab clinic this Saturday so I could have gone back.

Having that a1c before Christmas will help you keep focused. Good planning.

If you fund your Libre then it really isn't up to the GP to dismiss it. Mind you my DN said of course after a awhile you won't need to use one anymore. I actually enjoy seeing what effects different things have on my BS. Having a tooth out raised it, and this morning it was reassuring to me...

Yea well done!

Well done wise owl. Great result.

I had mine (1st ever) 2 weeks ago. The arm that I had the flu jab didn't hurt at all. However I had a pneumonia jab in the other arm and that has hurt for over a week. Couldn't bear to lie on it or have it touched.

Thank you for posting this. I am glad that I checked the forum and didn't just go off to bed now. I've hit one of those low points and have been very demoralised from reading a different topic on here and was wondering what is the point. Stupid but that's me. Well done with lowering your...

Thank you for replying.

If it's a small number of people then why take any notice of them. Who are they to you anyway. Unless of course you are having death threats and then contact the police. Is there an option to block seeing what some people post?

Brilliant. Well done on the low numbers AND the 20 kgs lost.

Amazing well done.
