Thank you, My gastroenterology consultant tested me for CD last year and it was negative, he's now wondering if I have diverticulitis, I'm waiting for a CT scan result and blood results. I'm on day 3 of the gliclazide mr, last Sunday my bs level was 24.....today, 2 hours after dinner, it was...

Thank you for replying, Wow! that must have been difficult to rely on urine tests only!

Hi @jan.steamqueen67 I'm sorry that you're having a stressful time right now, that's an awful lot for anyone to have to deal with at once. I can't give you much advice about diabetes as I'm still learning a lot myself, but what the others have said sounds helpful. I can, however give you a few...

Hi @kitedoc , Thank you so much for your informative and helpful reply. Even though I've been diabetic for some years now, much to my detriment, I haven't really studied it anywhere near enough, I know the basics of the basics. For years I had it perfectly controlled, taking only Metformin and...

Hello all My diabetes is out of control and has been for quite a few Months now. My recent hbA1c was 79. Unfortunately I've not been able to get my levels down myself and my high glucose levels are having a bad effect on me and my body. I have endless skin and eye infections, feel confused...

Hi daisy1, Thank you for the information. I'm not really a new member though, I have been around for about a year, but I don't post that much so you probably haven't noticed me. I know about the low carbing or no carbing diets, and the low carb, high fat one too. Whilst I do my best to cut...

Hi Kavyaparmar, No I have never been referred to a dietitian, the advice I receive is from the diabetic clinic at my GP's surgery. Yes the UTI's are just awful aren't they?! They always make me feel really unwell and uncomfortable too. Thank you for your reply. :)

I'm not using any weight reducing program, I always fail on them. So I'm just trying to adjust to a healthy diet and I have been managing to loose weight doing what I'm doing, all be it very slowly. I often eat baked beans, I have to keep a close eye on my iron levels and as they are very high...

Hello all My diabetes has been pretty out of control now for several months. My GP did want to put me on an additional medication called Gliclazide at 80mg twice a day, this would be alongside my usual Metformin of 2000mg per day taken in 2 separate doses. However I am pretty frightened of...

Thank you @AnnieC :) Yes there are a lot of weird and wonderful viruses floating around in our area right now, so it could well be that I've picked up one of them, I will indeed let you know how I get on. Thank you @jack412 :) Yes they do do home visits but my surgery seem to be so...

Hi all, I've not been sleeping very well at all of late, last night being another sleepless one, I did eventually go off and I slept until 3pm. I also have to say that I haven't been feeling well at all now for quite sometime. I spoke to my GP on the phone and he wants me to go to the surgery...

I really can't have a high fat diet due to needing to loose weight and causing more problems for my heart condition, so what diet can I follow, if I low carb my BG drops too low and makes me feel ill. :yuck: I think it's doing that because I can't have the high fat which would balance it out...

Hello all, Sorry I've not been about for a week or two but lots happening in life that's keeping me on my toes and busy! I have, once again, fallen off the wagon!! I've stopped trying to loose weight too, I feel like I've just had enough of it all and am burned out with it. I'm trying not to...

@Robinredbreast Chin up......have a bowl full of love and smiles. :)

Sorry for the late reply as I've only just seen this. Congratulations on the birth of your new little family member. It's absolutely amazing what SCBU's can do nowadays. Your little man is in the best and safest hands possible. Thinking of you and your family and new little addition. x

I would definitely have a "go mad day" life is too short to miss out on lovely life events, it's not going to harm you, long term, to have one day in which you get to eat and enjoy anything you like...........so go for it and have a wonderful day. :)

lol...!! This brings to the forefront of my mind something that I said by complete accident. I was talking on the phone to a medical person, I was stressed and irate........and I announced to her that I was a recovering "alcoholic" instead of saying "agoraphobic"!!! :wideyed: It wasn't until...

lol Bluetit. They weren't really my biscuits, they were my other halfs! and he was naughty cos he left them right on the coffee table........believe me..........they were taunting me! it was like a magnetic pull......and I kept hearing those words "eat me! eat me! eat me!" :wacky: ;) To be...

I did, gfmoore, I did. ;)
