hi; I have been taken ozempic for a while now, finished the 0.25 without any major side effects, just some stomach cramps which went within two weeks and nausea which I still have from time to time. but now on the 0.5 I find myself getting tired quite quickly on some days. I cant see this as...

You know that's a good point. Had my flu jab two days ago. I wonder ? Had been getting 7's to 8's and had my recent review and bloods were coming down.

Love my contour meter but today I am not sure if something is wrong. Took a reading this morning 11.0 bit high (for me) so took the dog on a 3 mile 1 hour walk, came back took a new reading 11.7 , so took another one and it was 12.4 then 11.4 and last one 10 8, surely you glucose can't change...

I just dont get how sometimes a low blood level makes you go 'hypo' yet other times it doesnt. If my bloods drop below 6 i usually have a hypo - i now its coming so can deal with it. Earlier last year i had a severe hypo without any warning, to the point where i started to zone out (according to...

Does gout increase blood glucose levels.mine have been elevated over the last week while suffering with gout ( I think that's what it is, certainly ticks all the boxes) seeing the doctor this week for my diabetes review so can check then. TIA Steve

Hi i was fine virtually within 5 minutes of the whole thing happening. So quite bizzare, but i will call my doctors. I cant see where you can add your medication but i am on Metformin, gliclizide and dapagliflozin . Which has really helped in bringing my bg levels down as well as going to the...

First off i like looking at Ferrari's but i am not ever going to buy one, likewise to assume i was going to have a high carbohydrate meal because i was in a chipshop is a bit presumptuous! I had exercised heavy in the morning 30 lengths in the health centre pool. More than i have everdone, a...

We were queuing for about an hout in the evening outside a chipshop, saturday night so was quite warm and once inside another queue in the heat. We were just about to get served whem i told my wife i didnt feel to good (when this has happened before - hypo - i have had about 25 minutes to get...

Over the last 7-10 days i have started to feel woozy headed / light headed, not all the time, comes and goes, but when i get it, i also seem to feel pressure between my ears . I went to see the local chemist and was told it could be my Blood pressure been to high. I have checked my BP and it...

Phew that's a sort of relief. I remember my Doctor telling me to watch out for this symptom when she prescribed the tablets back in February. But as i had been exercising hard at the weekend i initially thought it was just some chaffing. But this morning when i actually had a look its definitely...

this always confuses me - Blood glucose ranges for type 2 diabetes Before meals: 4 to 7 mmol/l Yet the 'less than five don't drive, four hit the floor, 3 A&E' mantra doesn't fit into the above regards drving , or am I missing something ?

Nearly had a coronary when I checked this morning 18.6!! ***, usually around 8-10 so this is a big jump and I have also been prescribed an increase in my Gliclazide(about 4 weeks ago), so was hoping it would go down . I have also been started on Atorvastatin for my Cholesterol, but have read...

Can the consistant temperature, been above 26.5 also affect my blood readings ?, they seem to b a lot higher. Again nothing has changed in my diet.

I know that with T2, you can end up visiting the toilet in the night, but when i have to go its not for just a quick visit, its more like a good pint !, Sometimes twice in the night, where does it come from. I know how Austin powers feels;

So I used to be in the 8-9 range when checked bloods so if hit 11-12 didn't seem to make much difference. These days I am on the 6-7.5 range and have noticed a couple of times feeling hot, sweaty and shaky, checked bloods and they have been between 11-14, when they start going down to under 9 i...

Anyone ever suffer from false hypos first thing in the morning, take bloods and they range between 8-9.5, but still feels like I am starting to have a hypo, but obviously I am not (by the reading), bloods level out during the day to around 7. So not overly concerned, just bemused [emoji23][emoji41]

Just a generic question for fun; So Peter has a base level of 6.5 eats something and spikes to 12.00 Paul on the other hand has a base level of 10.00 (newbie) eats the same thing but spikes to 13.00 Who is worse of Peter or Paul ?, both the same ? Could either of them fly-away, with those...

I have started to keep a diary, I usually have an omelette with bacon for brekkie, ran out of eggs so had some porridge to see what would happen. So is it the gliclazide that's lowers the bg?

So anyone know roughly how long after taking metformin it should 'show' up in a test, i.e lowered your blood sugars. I am really trying to see what is going on with my bloods, reading this morning was 10.8 @ 7.30am, took my concoction of meds, had some porridge (9.30) tested at 11:00AM and was...
