Re: Applying fr provisional licence Gemma As long as you have hypo awareness and haven't had hypos you could not deal with yourself then I see no reason why you should not get your provisional license. Good luck Doug

Hi Hez14 Sorry but I have not done this diet but here is a thread on it: viewtopic.php?f=25&t=30922&p=290823&hilit=Cambridge+diet#p290823 It appears to be similar to the Newcastle diet: viewtopic.php?f=24&t=38378&p=358696&hilit=Newcastle+diet#p358696 - although there are many other threads...

Hi Babygomez Welcome to the Forum. Diagnosis of any log-term condition is always an emotional blow. I have encountered it with both my diagnosis of diabetes and then of Parkinson's Disease - but things do get better. Understanding your conditions and taking control was, I found, vital in...

Welcome Ladystrange13 I hope that your next endo appointment goes well and that they sort out your "bag" of issues. Take care Doug

Barbara How long have you been using Byetta? Mbmdp I never had any side effects either but am now on dapagliflozin Doug

Dear all Rather than deal with the real issue here, which is one of poor choice for those with diabetes (as opposed to, for instance, the usually good provision for vegetarians - who have generally made a lifestyle choice rather than a medical choice and ensure that they get what they want)...

Re: HOW CAN THEY PUT ME INTO ESA WRAG GROUP WHEN MY WIFE IS You might find that JC+ are part off DWP and there would be no breach of the DPA in passing on information to ATOS. Regards Doug

Hi all. I have just begun dapagliflozin this week. I suggested it to my GPSID and she said that she was going to mention it to me anyway. Too early to tell what it will achieve but no apparent side effects so far. I continue to take one 500mg tablet if Metformin a day but have now discontinued...

As far as the DVLA is concerned, I have always kept them informed and I have never been on insulin and had good control on Metformin and then Exenatide. My license did not change until my diagnosis with Parkinson's when it went to a 3 year license and some of the categories dropped. My license...

Re: free perscriptions No need to have any doubts, glenmoray. All diabetics who are controlling their diabetes with medication are entitled to a medical exemption card for free prescriptions for all medication (for all conditions and not just diabetes) and should complete the appropriate form...

Sashington If your blood sugars continue at that high level you would be advised to either contact you diabetic nurse/GP or go to A & E as soon as possible and not wait for your appointment. Trying to help and support Doug

Sashington You can find more information on LADA and Type 1.5 at: http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes_lada.html I would, however, take one thing at a time and concentrate on dietary changes, medication and a good exercise regime to see whether that combination will eventually lower your BS...

Hi I was put on gliclazide for 2 weeks before being taken off it for having hypos. Gliclazide can also contribute to weight gain. Some of the newer drugs not only get your pancreas and liver working more normally but also can assist in weight loss by suppressing appetite. Exenatide (Byetta...
