I’ve spent the last hour having a WhatsApp chat with some friends trying to lie my way out of a birthday meal at the weekend, I’ve told workmates my boss and some family but not all of them about my diagnoses. Yes I feel like people will look down on me because of it and I’ve covered it all up...

Did they offer you any information as to why your old surgery refused the prescription?

That’s just probably answered a question for me, I get really painful cramps in my lower legs that are so painful I can hardly move. 10/10 on the pain scale but doctor has always said it’s nothing to worry about and sent me on my way! I guess I should talk about trying a different statin

I’ve been on one for about 3 years now, my body has the genetic thing that means I have high levels and no matter what I eat it makes zero difference. I was against them but the risks of me doing nothing we’re not worth taking, my mum died age 54 with heart disease caused by the same undiagnosed...

6.2 and as I fell off the wagon yesterday and was eating everything bad for me I’m a bit shocked

You have health anxiety and OCD both are illnesses that need treatment. I’ve been down the same road on google down the doctors every other day and all that happened was it just got worse! Get the anxiety under control and then reassess the diabetes at a later date

In the leaflet with the medication it lists all the known side effects and how common that particular one is so it’s usually “very common” “common” “uncommon” “rare” or similar but it also normally says not everyone gets side effects and if you do they normally they settle down with time. A...

Covid 19 is still a new virus and I guess no one knows exactly what effects it can have but as soon as I was diagnosed with diabetes they were on my case immediately wanting me to have the vaccine so it must have some effect I guess

Well this morning my fasting blood sugar was higher than it’s ever been and I felt really low about it, I was so down I sort of pressed the self destruct button at lunch time and “treated” myself to a can of monster energy drink (with sugar) and consumed my body weight in carbs. No it didn’t...

In your first year of employment it’s very easy to manage someone out of a business and if you’re going off sick already the chances are the will find a reason to terminate your employment while it’s easier to do, I’m assuming you haven’t been diagnosed with anything so it’s unlikely you could...

8.0 today, I’m so angry about that! No idea how it’s happened

Don’t be scared, I was over 12 yesterday and I’m still very much alive. It’s all very confusing but I’d love to have your numbers

Yes I agree with that, I’ve gone extreme with it, probably should have slowly cut back maybe but I just wanted to improve the numbers quickly but I prefer to say I passed out lol

I’ve gone full on low carb, believe me I’ve been taking all the advice I’ve been given. I’ve realised it’s all down to me that’s why I’m online asking the questions and putting the effort in. If I’ve given you the impression I’m waiting others to do it for me then I’ve given you the wrong impression

Yes I appreciate your patience with me, I’ve had my heart checked out recently due to upper back pain but all tests clear on that. I’m just trying to figure out what’s going on and it’s incredibly frustrating that the people that should be supporting me haven’t really done much of that to begin with

No idea what the hba1c was the appointment was very rushed, it was said but I didn’t take it all in and it was found because of a routine blood test so was a bit of a shock. Not had anything like this before

Hi everyone I’ve been sent home from work today, I worked through lunch and felt a bit hot and got up to get some air, next thing people are fanning me down because I had passed out. I was given a can of Coke and it perked me up but I was assured that I wouldn’t have anything like this with...
