All these years on thyroxine etc and I have never heard of FT3 or FT4. You learn something every day. I am beginning to wonder if the medical profession is a secret service organisation.

I have always taken my Levothyroxine first thing with water.175 mgs. (Just now been reduced to 150 mgs). Maybe my thyroid gland has regrown. Dont laugh. It got radio active iodine in the '70's. It stopped my singing and whistling, but I still can't play the piano.:singing:

I took statins for about 15 years.For the life of me I still don't know why. When I relocated to another area my new medic stopped the statins. That was about ten years ago. Last year I was informed that I had type 2, along with prostate problems added to a 20 year Ankylosing Spondylitus for...

My medical advisers (?) have just announced that I am "cured" They took no notice of my LCD results, all carefully noted and recorded and put the "Cure" down to Metformin. So I am told I dont need medication any more and they will check my BG in 12 months.

Well there you are. False advertising. If that is true then the best that should happen to the advertiser is a spell on bread and water. For life.:mask:

It's that good old ancient medicine, Excercise. Did wonders for me. It now seems that the media is getting in on the act, trying to get everybody to take up excercise. Glad you have joined the gang. You will find lots to keep you on the straight and narrow. Try a LCDiet and see how your health...

You can make numerous changes to your life style. Some good. some not so. Have you considered that your body is also capable of making changes for good or not. You may not be aware of what is happening internally. Having the checks on a 3 monthly basis can give early indications of something...

I am 83. T2 on Metformin 2x500 and LCD and have had no problems so far.

How many of these companies will insure at all after 80 years of age?

Alimc. That's the way to do it. Walking is my choice of excercise. Down from 13plus stone to 10 plus. All since last Sept. I can now see my stomach etc without the use of a mirror. I have not yet achieved a six pack.:cat:

I have found, following advice from here, that regular meals (3 per day) and no food between 7pm and 8am. regular testing, not too frequently, will help you to balance your day and help your body mechanism to stablise. This way you can identify problems more easily. Then adjust...

Oh yes. I have a diabetic drawer but not compartmentalised. It's choc-a-bloc. I too wish that all manufacturers kept to the same size and colour. I have an additional collection which I have prepared for the week ahead which has 7x4 sections. I still get it wrong, but it hasn't killed me yet...
