I haven't yet from my doctor. I take blood pressure lowering medication and have recurring nosebleeds. I only have sugar in tea or coffee when my blood sugars are low. I cannot reduce carbs as all that my family eats is carbs and protein. Yesterday I had to go shopping for my parents and they...

I am purely for my own benefit. I'm going to do the exercise challenge for 2 months from May 12th to July 12th for now and when July comes around I might carry it on for another two months until September 12th as I go back to university on the 13th.

I am in Jamrox, and started a week earlier by accident ;)

Well I've had my gliclazide reduced down to one in morning and one in evening instead of two in morning and two in evening.

I am Pipp. I have started Jamro'xs challenge one week earlier as on Monday I took my dog out for a walk on a hill for an hour, yesterday I went for a walk for 45 minutes and today I spent 1 1/2 hours mowing my parents front and back garden. My doctor has already referred me to the Lifestyle...

Thanks for the support. I've just spoken with my doctor for the first time and she is referring me to a lifestyle programme, reduced my gliclazide to 160mg from 320mg and still on Metformin 200mg and Ramipril 10mg, my Hba1c was 68 mmol still high but came down from 117mmol, my blood pressure is...

Yes I do decide what I eat and drink, but until I get employed and earn some money, I won't be able to do low carb diet and atm I've started to snack out of boredom throughout the day as it is just me in the house alone 8 hours a day. My family do eat meals that are generally meat based, and...

I cannot reconsider my diet as my father is a stubborn old man and says that eating fat makes you fat and carbs can be burned off. He cannot be reasoned with and he is heading on the route to diabetes as he will starve himself all day at work until the evening, surviving on tea with sugar until...

Well I've just had 2 cups of coffee both with 2 teaspoons of sugar in it to treat a hypo of 1.8 and since last night, I've been hearing strange noises coming from my gut. Tomorrow I am going for a fasting blood test, and on Friday appointment with diabetic nurse. My parents are only concerned...

I'm on 2000 mg Metformin, 320 mg Gliclazide and 10 mg Ramipril. a day. When I wake up to have breakfast my BS levels are now between 3 and 4 and I have a bowl of coco pops to raise my BS, but after 2 hours they are back down and today I've had a bowl of coco pops for breakfast, for lunch 2...

I've just had a massive argument with my parents about my weight and recent blood sugars after i had a blood sugar reading on 2.3 almost an hour ago and had 2 weetabix and a cup of coffee with a teaspoon of sugar to treat the hypo to 6.2. My blood sugar readings this past week have been between...

I am thinking of following the Newcastle Diet using Tesco's Ultraslim Strawberry sachets instead of Optifast or Slimfast. Has anyone else used Ultraslim before.

Today I had a real shock as I was outside cutting the lawn and when i finished i felt a bit anxious and irritable. Then when I tested my BS it was really low at 2.7. I didn't take my morning medication as BS were 3.8 and had 4 weetabix biscuits with no sugar for breakfast instead of the normal 2...

My family is 100% behind me, I've already told them everything that they need to know and have been in contact with a relative in the family who is also diabetic and eats a moderate healthy diet. He has gone of his medication and treats himself at the weekend. My family though can't afford to...

I am not on Victoza yet, my blood sugars are down to the metformin, gliclazide and ramipril.

I have been on ramipril for 3 months after advice from my gp as he found signs of protein in my urine and my bp was quite high. About a month ago I had the ramipril up to 10mg instead of 5mg as my bp was 136/70. Well I am obese and since i've been back to my parents my blood sugars have...

I am now back in my home town living with my parents and so far my blood sugars have been ok as they have been between 3.5 and 7.2 over the past week and my average is 6. Now last Thursday the diabetic nurse rang me up and told me that when I sign up with a gp at home, that I should ask the gp...

I want to give up diet drinks as over the past 3 weeks I've been feeling a bit anxious and shaky after going out with my friends and staying away from beer at pubs and bars. I'm also staying away from Robinson's fruit juice as i've been told that it does not help and I already drink litres upon...

****, I haven't seen my dentist in nearly 3 years and I have been type 2 diabetic since Oct 2012. Guess I need a trip to the dentist and a lecture from him.

Yes he is the upping the Ramipril as in January I had my urine tested which showed signs of protein. Nowadays I am starting to get hypos and I even fainted today in a shop after having a nose bleed and coughing up blood, the ambulance came and gave me a bottle of coke to drink as my blood sugars...
