In theory, I am off a specific dose of Gliclazide - I am allowed them on prescription though - what I do is take a quarter of a pill when I know I am going to have a carby meal (ie Chinese) ... and because this seems to work for me, the doc is happy for me to self prescribe ... would this be an...

Lovely .... I used to be able to knit for hours and hours - unfortunately after 20 mins I have to stop these days, but that dress is gorgeous ....

LOL ... I have so many stashes, I occasionally have to make something ... running out of places to hide things I buy :angelic:

Inside ... and with 3 zipped sections ....

I made this clutch bag using Emzed's free pattern (on Craftsy) ... love it and will be making more - Ideal for phone, money and bits ....

When my other half suggests a kebab or fish n chips I will often agree - I will eat the chicken and salad in a kebab (tiny bit of pita bread for me) and I will eat the white of the fish (leaving the batter and most of the chips). Metformin does help suppress the appetite which is helpful when...

Not sure why, but I don't really see a DN - I just see my GP - which is fine, as he is more or less agreeing to whatever I ask. After my second meeting with him, he said I probably knew more about diabetes than the DN anyway. I just have to re-educate him and get "statins" out of his...

Yes. To make it worse, my other half has been Type 2 for years. He thinks adding a little bit of sugar to my tea on a Sunday is a little treat for me ... actually, no its not! We never argue as such, but its been close a few times since I have been diagnosed in April - but I am training him...

Amazing .... well done and your hard work and effort certainly working for you x

Back from holidays - did so much walking and averaged about 13k steps per day. One day I noticed that my fit bit said I had done 66 flights of stairs!!!!!! Back to work this week, been to aqua aerobics twice this week and have had a standard basic walk each evening (to ensure I get to target...

I have so many things I like to do - but work takes up a lot of my free time. I also live next to the beach and walk daily (to get a min of 7k steps a day), I enjoy aqua aerobics twice a week and also try to visit the gym - however my main hobby is sewing, whether patchwork or making clutch...

My thyroid is not in range ..... After having had 50 mcg Levo for 2 months and having had no weight loss - despite eating better and exercising - my TSH levels had increased whilst my BS levels went from 141 to 38 within 5 months ...

I am type 2 and have recently also been diagnosed as having an under active thyroid - what is your TSH? My doc upped my levo in order to help me lose the weight - he could see from my BS results I had made huge lifestyle changes and now its time to work on losing the weight which I have been...

When I pick up my prescription today I will know whether the doc has included strips for me in that (fingers crossed) - if not, I shall buy a monitor and these strips. I didn't mention strips at my consultation yesterday in case I reminded him of how expensive they were (as I am now more or...

5.3 this morning ....

Not all doctors will issue SR Metformin due to the cost which is more than double the standard Metformin. I know this as today I was told by the GP when I asked for SR ... not given. He said my issues may have been due to being on too high a dose of Metformin as my BS had come down so...

38 seems to be the magic number today - well done and keep up your hard work

Its been a while - glad to see forum has been sorted. The good news is that I went for my test results today - 38% from 141% in less than 6 months! paaarrrtttayyyyy! Metformin reduced by half (or less if my bloods stay good) and I will only take 20g of glic if I think I need it -...

Its been almost a week - is this how the forums are going to stay? We still have that message about the forums not running properly ..... I have stayed away and will try again in another week?

Thanks for responding - I think I will log out and perhaps try again in a few weeks ....
