can I ask...if you don't have diabetes why do you have a retinopathy test?

it was in the front part of my leg and then went into my toes. After that I had pain in my hip and shoulder but I get that alot, I have a vitamin D deficiency so take tablets for that but not calcium.

no just the cramp:( I think last time they checked my calcium was ok (about 6 months ago) but I have to go to see the GP in 2 weeks time so will mention it then

my friend takes magnesium for the menopause, could the two be linked?

I had really bad cramp in my leg about 5 this morning. I assume this is due to lack of salt. What is the best way to stop this? The tension then moved to my neck and shoulder, the cramp went and the pain moved to my shoulder and hip. I am now very tired:(

I always weigh myself naked too and I go to the loo first! However I find that I get heavier as the day goes on. Zand I can understand why you put a stone and coins in your pockets but I would never have thought of it myself! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I agree with this. My son had no symptoms apart from being short and overweight. He wasn't lacking in energy. I would ask for a blood test to get things checked as symptoms aren't always apparent. totto both my boys (they have the same condition) see a paediatric endocrinologist but we...

thyroxine for life and growth hormone injections probably for a few more years. I had to push for something to be done as like you I was told to change his diet.

My son was small born but around age 5 started putting weight on. I took him to the GP when he was 7 and they did a blood test. He has a genetic condition that means he has an under active thyroid and has no growth hormone. We were referred to a paediatric consultant who basically said "some...

Durham is the same - they are building thousands of new houses but no extra surgeries or schools. The local hospital can't cope with the numbers we have already and are frequently turning ambulances away:mad:

I book all my appointments on line - it is the best thing ever! Our surgery is good too and I can usually get an appointment if I ring in the morning. The receptionists are friendly and helpful too which I gather is a rare thing!

thank you! It's a black dress so think it is more for the winter which will give me a bit longer!

I am joining the "I will lose weight to fit into this dress" group. I have just bought an Oasis dress from the charity shop - at £3.50 how could I not:) It is a size 8 - not long ago it would have been a 12/14. I just about managed to get it over my bum and get it on on it was just a bit too...

Lidl also do a money off voucher but it is not a regular thing like Aldi. If I hear about it I will let you know

well done scandi!

Scandi I think very few people plan for unexpected things happening in their lives, life carries on and them bam something happens - in your case your husband lost his job, in mine I got pregnant and left work. My husband burried his head in the sand and the debts got bigger and bigger until...

Scandi I will reply tomorrow...didn't want you to think I was ignoring you. I fell asleep and now I have to go to bed properly! Night... Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I made some banana and chocolate cakes for the boys last week, they did smell good but I have to say I wasn't tempted. The brownies however were a different story... I have made low carb peanut butter and chocolate brownies and they had the same gooey texture as 'normal' brownies. They were...

I now have 2 kgs of peanut butter!! Peanut butter and chocolate brownies and peanut butter cookies to start with I think. Also got 2 jars of coconut oil so looking forward to trying the recipes I have found that need coconut oil. Oh and the nut balls too! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App
