I wish there was another forum user who has been using Benfotamine longer than I have, who could give me some feedback. I've suffered pains in my left hand for the last two days, probably coincidence but it only seems to kick in after I've taken the tablets. I'll presevere for the remainder of...

Ruth, I'm trying really simple things like eating grapefruit and squeezing lemon juice over my food every day; which I find quite pleasant but appreciate that won't be the case with everyone. I also drink at least a pint of water a day with a capful of apple cider vinegar in it (again, not...

Hi Steve, I am fortunate enough to have a nurse who has prescribed strips for me, although only seen her once so as yet do not know what my "limit" per month or per prescription will be. :shock: I use the Freestyle Freedom Lite, which the nurse gave me for free and it's a doddle to use and...

Hi Sue, Funnily enough I've just had a letter from the local eye clinic to arrange my first test as a diabetic.

As I'm about to join a gym next week I asked a similar question by email direct to the Lucozade people. I've just had their reply...on a Sunday evening. :shock: For the record, I have no commercial or otherwise connection with Lucozade. The fact that they are delivering a truck load of the...
