I need somebody to talk to about my Diabetes, things seems to be getting worse and my GP, although good, doesn't allow for discussions. For the past year my BS's seem to have been out of my control. I used to be able to control them with diet, even if I took medication, a low carb diet did...

I have been on Byetta for around 6 weeks now, first 5mgs (4 weeks) now 10mgs (2 weeks). I am not getting any of the side effects, no nausea and unfortunately no weight loss. But the the worst of it is that it doesn't appear to be effecting my blood sugars. They have stabilised slightly and...

I have been on a very low carb diet for 4 weeks. I have lost 16lbs, my blood sugars have gone from an average 9.5 to an average 5.3, I've already cut my meds and I'm feeling so much better. But there is another strange effect. My husband tells me that I have stopped snoring. I have had a real...

Hi All I have followed an Atkins type diet a few times in the past with good effect, both weight loss and diabetes control. I must do something again as my glucose levels have been unstable, despite increases in medication. At a recent check my GP noted that my Liver Function tests were...
