    Struggling

    Hi all! I'm finding that my sugars are always too high in the mornings (I sometimes test after breakfast). Even when I eat really well the day and night before, they still seem to run too high. Then I have trouble getting them back down all day. All my DN had to say about it is that I'm not...

    Going on holiday

    I'm type 2 and am going to Florida for 2 weeks soon. I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on keeping my BG levels stable while I'm away...or should I just enjoy my holiday and not worry about them too much? This is my first holiday abroad since being diagnosed. Thanks!

    Since starting Metformin a few months ago I've had awful stomach cramps now and again, followed by a bit of an upset stomach. I was just wondering if this is a common thing? Thanks :)

    Missed morning dose

    Hello :) I'm on 4 x 500mg of metformin a day. I completely missed my morning dose this morning. I had a bit of an 'off' day today with a few very short dizzy spells, they only lasted a few seconds really. I was just wondering if maybe missing a dose can do this? Thanks!

    Newly diagnosed

    Hi. I was diagnosed as what I assume is type 2 (not that the gp has told me what type it is) just over a week ago.
