    Blood pressure won't come down.

    My mom’s primary says it’s quite common for someone to require 2 kinds of BP meds. I had no idea. Have you inquired from your doctor if you need a larger dose of meds? Have you tried a low sodium diet? That’s really difficult because so many things have sodium. Also, one of friends who...

    Apprehensive following GP appointment

    Did he check your B12 level? Turns out mine was low and likely causing similar symptoms. I had no idea.

    neuropathy

    I don’t think most people realize how distressing this condition can be. My heart goes out to you all. I just wanted to acknowledge that there are multiple causes that may be involved. I was told by my first neurologist and several orthopedic podiatrists that I did not have neuropathy...

    NEUROPATHY REVERSING?

    Not sure what you are dealing with, but have you had your Vitamin B12 checked? I had no idea that it can also cause similar symptoms and if not properly treated can cause serious problems. I might get tested, before you take any vitamins for it. That can skew the results. Of course, high BG...

    My loss has really slowed down. I’m going to revisit intermittent fasting again. I’ve gotten used to enjoying a nice garden salad at lunch. So……

    Congratulations on the half pound! You are in the zone and that’s awesome! I agree about your calories. I have to eat less than 1500, but that’s just my body makeup. ☹️ I finally lost another pound! Thank goodness! I’ve worked hard too. I‘ve gone to the gym everyday for the last 10 days...

    I hate you are experiencing this. It really angers me. People don’t get how scary it is to sleep while taking insulin without a cgm. I hope your call comes soon and help is around the corner.

    As a US Medtronic customer, I find what you have experienced horrific. I can’t imagine losing my Medtronic 780 and G4 cgm. Man, I sure hope you find some assistance. It’s just unacceptable. i’m not familiar with your system there, so can offer no suggestions. Please post what you find out.

    Cholesterol and Statins

    Can someone explain how they arrive at cholesterol numbers like 7.8 or 8.0? I‘m in the US and cholesterol levels here are normally read as Total Cholesterol 150. Is there a separate blood test in Europe?

    I’ve been around, but very busy. I wanted to congratulate those who did so well and commiserate with those who didn’t see scale progress last week. I was the same AGAIN! Lol. It’s rather funny, if you think about it. I still met with friends for a birthday celebration this weekend. Not...

    Great news LeafyArts! ⭐️ You seem to be doing all the right things and your body is responding. I had to be out the door super early this morning for a work matter and didn’t weigh yet, but will when I get home. I weigh during the week though and was up and down this past week, but I doubt...

    That is annoying. I tend to avoid diuretics. Lately, I think the fresh salads I’m having are making me go a lot.

    I can relate. I’m actually the same weight. I have to regroup and try something to shake things up. I may send a PM to my nutritionist. I’m going to work out my frustration by doing a super intense workout today. Wish I could use the sauna, but that heat is just too much for me. When I...

    Fatigue as i get older

    I am surprised that I actually have more energy than I had 10 years ago. Last year I went on a weight loss journey, high nutrition, daily work outs, etc, Then got new pump….it’s all helped me. Still, I’ve encountered some health issues. They are improving. My dad has a heart condition and it...
