Just because you get the paper prescription doesn't mean that you have to get it filled. And I don't think the docs have any way of checking whether you do get it filled (or maybe someone else knows if this is true or not?)

OMG - and watch your BS levels skyrocket!

3.7 this morning (which was a bit of a surprise - hoping to reduce gliclizade next time I see the docs).

No - try and appeal - my nephew had to do this (he is a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic) and he lost his first claim because his mental health nurse helped(?) him fill in his forms. He had to go before judges in court to get it reinstated but he got it and got his money backdated. A friend...

I could only stand Metformin for 2 weeks - felt vaguely nauseous from the start of taking it and then after 2 weeks my stomach revolted. On gliclizade now (40mg twice a day) and doing LCHF and hoping to get off that and go on diet controlled only. I tend to go as low carb as I can (which has...

and if that doesn't prove the point for low carbing what doesn't?!

Gulp - even when I was diagnosed my level was lower than that (29). Readings that high need to be looked at. That nurse needs to be re-educated!

4.3 again this morning

4.3 today - pleasantly surprised since I had a wholemeal bread fairly late yesterday.

Oh you poor soul! I had got that when I was 20 - so not fun - flu symptoms and then the spots came out! It was the one thing I didn't catch in childhood, despite being around others who did. When I caught it, it seemed to be a strain which was targeting adults who hadn't contracted it, as...

A good idea that - asking the restaurant to accommodate. I went out recently to pizza express (I know - carbs galore). Only had the pizza - no dessert - just coffee. Levels the next morning weren't too outrageous either, despite the pizza (it had been 4 months since I'd had one - but it was...

I went out recently to an Italian for dinner, had the vegetable soup for starter, sea bass for main (only had a couple of potatoes and plenty of greens) and treated myself to the Tiramisu (you have to live a little!). We did have dinner very early (it was around 5pm), so my sugar rush from the...

Have to say I've found cheese my go to when I have the munchies late at night - A couple of slices of nice red Leicester fills me up. Either that or a cup of coffee with single cream (its such a revelation being able to have that after all the years of the fat malarkey!). Oat cakes are good if...

I think you're like most of us - we want things to happen NOW! It's frustrating when things don't go as quickly (down!) as we would like. The old hare and the tortoise scenario I'm afraid (but its hard work sometimes!)

I'd say ditch the bread, even if its only until you get your levels stabilised. (I only have 6 wholemeal rolls in a week and never more than 2 at a time). And check the amount of carbs per slice if you do indulge in bread - its surprising how much it can vary between each brand.

my HBAC1 at diagnosis - 102 - youch (as at 31.8.16) and a BS level at the time of 29. My last HBAC at the beginning of December - 50. So much improved but a ways to go yet. The best thing I can say, exercise - like pretty all the members of the forum here. It will help with your mood, BS...

5.0 this morning - which was pretty good considering the steak and kidney pie and potatoes for tea last night. Maybe it was because the pastry was thinner than usual?

3.7 today (a bit low for me which gave me leave to have a chocolate this morning). Yum!

try ebay - I've found it there before - in all different flavours!

I've spotted this one in my local Quality Save - reasonably priced.
