Sorry I missed the list. The only way you can know how your drugs need to change is by blood tests or adverse effects of medication. Nobody can give you a timetable. Take care Doug

A lot will depend on the medications you are on and the rate of change in your metabolic readings. Everyone is different. Take care Doug

@Galja you might want to start a new thread so you can get the advice you want. As your post is getting lost in Sunny's thread. Take care Doug

Sunny, you really do need to keep an eye on your blood sugars. You have said that you do not test regularly - you might want to reconsider that. Are you getting regular diabetic checks - including foot checks and HbA1c blood tests? What has your doctor said about your painful feet? Is it...

Can you tell us something about your diabetes treatment and your diet? What are your blood sugar levels? All these things are important in knowing how to advise you. Take care Doug

How is your glucose control? What meds are you on? Doug

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, @Maz73. I hope that your daughter's situation is improving. Take care Doug

Great work, Gary. You are an inspiration. Best wishes Doug

Dear all I do not think that this post needs to be moved. It does, however, need to be closed. The OP has updated the forum, has moved on with her life and it is not helping her ex by continuing with this thread. Indeed, a continuing of the thread could become increasingly negative and we all...

@Jaylee I was part of the statin trial and it was obvious that I was not on the placebo It is not always possible to make that assessment - it depends on the trial. @videoman So sad that you are having a poor experience with your consultant. It might be worthwhile discussing the situation...
