Thank you for your reply Jess. I'm still taking Metformin!!! Was just told to stop Sitagliptin, OMG. What meds did she replace Metformin with? My readings are really high atm. I can't use any toothpaste so just use Baking Powder. Look forward to hearing from you

Thanks for info. I will try H&B first. Let's hope it works. Will report back.

Hi Westley. Just reading about the ALA you took for BMS. Where do you get it from, GP or Holland & Barrett? Is it tablets? I'm going to give it a try as nothing is working for me so far. Thanks in advance.

Hi. Catching up on replies re BMS. It's been a while since I posted my query. Update: Hosp consultant has now diagnosed my problem as Lichen Planus. No cure apparently. I was also told to stop Sitagliptin as it was possibly the cause of my problem! No treatment offered. It has been 18 months...

Just returned here to see a lot of unread replies. Will go through them and reply to group later.

Thank you so much x

I've had bloods done for all sorts including B12 plus Thyroid etc. Nothing found. I'm taking a course of antihistamine as it might be an allergy. Also trying ACV in water recommended on Earth Clinic. I take Metformin (2), Sitagliptin(1), Gliclazide(2) per day. Bloods always high except when I'm...

Thank you. I think mine has gone beyond being allergic to a few things unfortunately. Its a case of try to eat anything and if it doesn't hurt add to allowed list. Most hot, spicy, salty, sweet food is off the menu. I can eat porridge, potatoes, eggs, ham, salad stuff without any dressing...

Thanks for reply. I can't eat any of my usual food, can't use any toothpaste at all just using water. I initially burned my mouth on hot soup. My tongue was covered in ulcers following that. Eased off but keeps returning. My face and lips swell. Got dentist to file a few back teeth down as feel...

Hi. I've just returned here as I'm suffering from burning mouth syndrome. Have had it for 5 months and have tried everything GP and Dentist suggest. Did your symptoms go away? What helped you if anything? This is driving me crazy.

Sounds tasty - and easy - my kind of food.

I must try the cauliflower rice. Is the recipe on here somewhere? Still finding my way about lol. Will be back for follow up after my appt next week. Thank you. X

Hi and thanks for your reply. I'm certainly not overweight - quite the opposite lol. Have always been slim and battle to retain weight. Need carbs to help with this so that's probably the culprit.

Hi. I'm trying to get to grips with replying to posts etc on here lol. I try to stick to low carb diet but not easy as atm I have a busy and stressful life. The meds I'm on per day now are: 1Gliclazide 30m. 1 Sitagliptin 100mg. 2 Metformin 500mg. Been on this for 3 yrs but for past 6 months my...

I was last on here about 3 years ago. Still T2 but not doing so good lately. My meds have gone up over the years but lately I can't get my blood results to improve. Seeing my GP next week.

Hi Molly. This does make sense but honestly I was never told to take dosage at different times. I just take everything with brekkie and hope for the best. All I was warned about was Glic can cause hypos so never drive hungry! I would put "lol" but really it isn't remotely funny! I hope I am...

Hi TanyaEmily. My appt is this Friday (31st) so I have lots questions to ask thanks to the Forum. Will keep you posted. Hoping to get back on the right track again. ;)

Hello Shar67 and thank you for your reply. I have never been informed to take my medication at any specific time. It has always been take 1 per day or (as the years went on) take 4 per day. Nobody ever told me one was slow release and some were fast acting. I take the lot with breakfast and...

I posted on the Ask a Question formum a few days ago as I was concerned about my BG levels remaining high despite LCHF diet. BG test is never less than 8 even fasting. It stays around 12/14 most of the time but can jump to 19/20. I watch my diet, exercise, etc. Diagnosed 10 yrs ago. I...
