Hello, I have a question I'm struggling to find a definitive answer to and wonder if this forum could help... I'm type 2 in remission and follow a low carb diet. When diagnosed I took up running and cycling, and am about to enter some ultra distance events. Marathon, 100k walk and 100mile on...

Since Jan 2021 I've been on 4 x 500mg Metformin. Today I received a call from the doctor saying I can stop taking them. When I first started taking Metformin I had stomach issues and my short distance vision temporarily deteriorated hugely. Thankfully both of these resolved themselves after a...

I was diagnosed T2 in Jan. I take Metformin, statins and high blood pressure meds. I don't drink generally. For example, the last alcoholic drink I had was a decaf Baileys coffee over Xmas. Some friends and I infrequently meet up and tend to have a bit of a session. If I were to stick to...

Hello, Apologies if this is a silly question - this is all rather new to me. I was confirmed as having diabetes 2 in early Jan. My first blood test reading in early Jan was 112mmol. Since then I've been taking 4 x 500mg Metformin a day. My second blood test reading in early Apr was 39mmol...
