Hi there I get some pretty steep drops. From what I can tell, I have two primary symptoms (along with the usual hot flushes, headache, nausea and wanting to throw a chair across the room). 1. A whizzing noise in my ears (hissing tinnitus). I think this may also happen as my sugar goes up...

35 years undiagnosed (age 4-5 upwards) Misdiagnosed Type 2 for 8 years and wrongly medicated with bad side-effects. Currently waiting MODY test. Beta cell tests came back negative. Newly on Gliclazide 320mg daily BG's now back into single figures although fastings can still be highish some...

I've had a serious issue with stomach cramps for 35 years. The only obvious pattern was that they were always worse whenever I was at my skinniest. Whenever I am screened for Chron's or Celiac it is always negative. I have shown high fecal calprotectin levels during these periods. Diagnosed as...

Day 4 for me. 2 x 40mg. Fasting BG this AM was 14.3. Lowest in ages. My head came clear on the first day. As did my eyes. Still having some rather profound memory issues though. How are you getting on? How did you end up on this medication?

After 5 years on Metformin and Sitaglyptin/aloglyptin (vomiting violently 3 or 4 times a week) and constantly telling various GPs that there is a problem I finally gave up on the NHS and paid for a private consultation with an endocrinologist. That was only after I took myself of all my meds and...

I'm now at 6 months after stopping the metformin and the aloglyptin (good riddance). Have lost 5 stone (in 5 years). Now at 14.5 stone standing at 6 foot 4 and feel like I am returning to my normal weight. BG's were up at 22 two months ago when I had flu. Currently seem to be hungry all the...

A high pitched whining in my right ear gives me about 90 seconds warning that my stomach is about to start rolling and moving (as my BG drops). If I eat immediately, it doesn't happen and the high pitched noise subsides after about 3 minutes. Nature is an amazing thing. An in-built audio alarm...

Hi there. Type 2 diagnosed at 40 but showing symptoms since early childhood (verified by specialist at NHS Diabetes Centre). Does anyone know a clinic in France where I can get the blood test to identify the genetic variant of Type 2 that I have? I'm fed up with banging my head against the wall...

After years of trying to find out what's best for my BGs, it would appear that chicken nuggets and low fat colslaw are a total winner for me. Who knew.

Type 2 (variant unknown) + 2000mg Metformin and Sitaglyptin. I don't understand my fastings at all. Brown basmati rice = 10.6 fasting Or Cadbury's Mini Rolls and Haribo Star Mix binge = 7.2 fasting and no night sweat. Confused.

Hi there. I was diagnosed Type 2 about 5 years ago but that was by a nurse and I have finally had a meeting with a consultant yesterday. I was not convinced by my type 2 diagnosis because I have had a range of issues since I was about 5 years old. The consultant agreed that I have had a glucose...

Not eating today. Got a poorly tum. I am on 3 x 500mg Metformin. Should I still take them today? I definitely will not be eating.

Hi everyone. I was diagnosed Type 2 about 4 years ago and went on Metformin 2 weeks ago (2 x 500mg daily rising to 3 x next week). I had to fight to get a Type 2 diagnosis which came through in the end. The thing is, I think I have been diabetic my entire life. Diabetes is on both sides of my...
