I was managing my type 2 with metformin with no problems until I was put on prednisolone for polymyalgia. I wasn't warned that steroids could make my diabetes worse but within a week or two I was drinking gallons of water and had thrush ( neither of which I had when originally diagnosed with...

I'm doing hflc and things are going really well but my friend is doing the Cambridge diet..800 calories daily made up from 2 sachets of gunk and a low calorie meal I'm a bit worried as she hasn't told her Cambridge diet consultant that she's diabetic

What kind of bariatric surgery are you having? I had a gastric band in 2007 and have regretted it ever since. My friend had a gastric sleeve surgery and after losing several stones is back to being over 23 stone. I hope you have a better outcome than we did

Thanks Ringi, I have already reduced my insulin injections by 10 units twice a day and my bs are between 4.7 and 6.5. Also lost about 5lb so feeling brilliant. In fact I saw a friend the other day and she said that I looked really well.

I hope someone replies to your post as it's exactly the same question I'd like answered

Oh and I've also reduced my insulin injections by 10 ml morning and evening. She'd probably have a fit if I told her that

I rang my dn the other day to ask for advice on injecting insulin when I'm not having a meal. I explained that I was doing low carb and the 5.2 diet. She was completely shocked and told me that they didn't support "these fad diets" and I should eat a crumpet immediately! She also told me that I...

Wow you look totally different,well done

I have just read Michael Mosleys blood sugar diet and I feel like a lightbulb has just gone off in my head! I am type 2 and inject insulin twice daily. My readings have been a bit erratic the last 3 months or so anything from 6..5 to 11. I rang my diabetes nurse today to tell her that I have...

Thanks for your replies and encouragement folks. I rang my diabetic nurse to ask about injecting insulin if I am not having a meal. I was stunned when she told me that they don't agree with "these fad diets" and I should be eating low GI carbs 4 times a day. And because I hadn't had any carbs at...

I had plantar fascitis for a very long time and had physio for it which didn't do anything . I was then sent to see a podiatrist who recommended :fitflops: I find them really comfortable and now don't wear any other make of footwear. I have several pairs of boots, loafers, clogs and numerous...

I buy fevertree tonic water when I have a very rare gin [probably about six a year] and it says on the label it is naturally sweet. I think I'm going to have to google it! Just googled it. It contains fructose and total carbs 3.8

I really miss eating fruit especially mango and melon. the problem was that I could eat lot's of it in one sitting. I am used to having something sweet after dinner and obviously cake and ice cream are out.

and I'm convinced that this is the way to go. I was diagnosed about 5 years ago as type 2 and started on metformin. Everything was fine until I was diagnosed with polymyalgia [I was already suffering with fibromyalgia] and put on steroids.The steroids really helped the pain but had horrendous...

Good lord, you sound like you've had just about everything thrown at you! I have been T2 for several years originally just metftormin but after being diagnosed with polymyalgia about 3 years ago I was prescribed steroids.I wasn't told that it could cause patients to become diabetic or in my...

I am T2 and inject insulin. I am not bulimic but my youngest daughter was for many years. It is a horrible condition which affects all the family. My heart goes out to anyone affected by bulimia or dif bulimia. When we went to the gp to ask for help for her bulimia the gp was dismissive as she...

Unfortunately I have polymyalgia rhumatica which can only be treated with steroids, an associated condition is GCA which can cause irrevocable blindness hence the need for the steroids. I started on 20mg in march this year and am now on 9mg and gradually reducing by 1 mg every four weeks...

I'm on insulin, metformin and trulicity.
