Thanks Jo. She was a great wife for well over 20 years so I realise how blessed I was. I do feel sad that we're not together anymore but I also won't ever be with anyone who doesn't want to be with me. I've not seen her for a few months but I do get updates from my daughter so I know she...

Thanks, I thought it was odd about the tunafish but it was my first meeting with her so it was all a bit much taking all of it in. I'll see what the new nurse says next week regarding the metformin. I'm just a bit concerned about coming off it but I'll see what her advice is and then have a...

Thanks to all of you for your responses. It's a lot to think about, but I will start looking into to it all. To be honest, I sort of buried my head in the sand a bit but did make big changes. I was originally 20 stones and had already got that down to 14 stones thanks to my wife who went...

Hi Jo, Just wanted to say that I really appreciate your post on another persons thread that I've just read which was very helpful to me. My lovely diabetic nurse when I was initially diagnosed seems to be quite outdated with her advice (still have chocolate but not as much to treat...

I had my blood test yesterday. I told the nurse about me overdosing on Vitamin D3. She didn't really know anything about the doses but I told her that I was taking 8,000 iu a day. She went to see the doctor to see what he said. When she came back, she said I must have misunderstood...

Hi. No, I don't take statins, only metaformin (two tablets in the morning and two in the evening)

Hi Melgar, Thanks for your words. I am not feeling as stressed as I was now I know that the rest of the results were positive. The thing about the AI I used is not about trusting it, it's just about using it as a tool. I wasn't getting any answers from my GP and to be honest I was feeling...

Ok, thanks to @JoKalsbeek mentioning about going onto my GPs website I went into the NHS website and have found all my results. Everything is fine and within normal limits - apart from my Serum alamine aminotransferase level which is 673 and should actually be between 0-45 so it is way way...

Hi, Thanks for such a long detailed response. It is appreciated. I don't fully understand why this would suddenly happen though - I only had my last blood test in January and the liver and kidney etc. was fine then. I was h1abc 49 back then and am now 38 so I don't see how my liver can...

Hi all, I was diagnosed a diabetic type 2 in January 2023 with a reading of 110. This really scared the life out of me as apparently 110 is really high. Within 4 months it was 70 which seemed quite good and I really tried hard. Sadly, it had already affected my eyesight and I've had to...

Many thanks for your reply, it does help a lot. My diabetic nurse told me to start running as it would really help but it does look like it has made things worse. I never mentioned to the ophthalmologist about me running, I just said that I excercise. She did ask me if I had high blood...

Hi all. I was diagnosed as having Type 2 diabetes in January 2023 with a reading of 110. Within 4 months I had got it down to 63 and am now down to 49 on my last checkup in December 2024. When I was first diagnosed, I had eye tests which brought up stage 2. I have been going to the...
