I have always had my own monitor, I just think it gives you more confidence to know exactly how you stand., it was given to me by the hospital when I was first diagnosed? If you start to feel bit strange or light headed you can check your readings, especially if you drive. However I live in...

Hi Molly I ihave replied to you again but somehow I put it on the end of your last post. I hope you are able to read it. !! x

I have no answers for you Molly, pretty much has already been said. How about your health though, you sound so down, perhaps a visit to doctor about your feelings and emotions would help you in some way. Him staying in bed most of the day sounds like he may be depressed, but you need to look...

Wow am really suprised by your third paragraph, have been really worrying about my cholesterol and my ongoing life. You have put my mind at ease. Thanks

Oh thanks for that will definitely look into it.

This has never happened to me, been on them 15 yrs. I do get very tired but dont really associate that with the metformin. Hope someone else can help more than I have.

No I havent, but thanks. I do love beetroot so maybe I will try that.

This is where I get confused, how can hight fat lower cholesterol?

I did post a reply but it seems lost lol. I have appointment with doc on wednesday so will get details then. My last reading a few months ago was about 7.

Yes I have tried various ones, even bought capsules on line guaranteed to work....but they havent. Thanks anyway

My cholesterol has been raised for some time. Every time I try statins they make either my joints ache or I cant keep my concentration, the latter so bad I felt I shouldnt drive and as a carer for my adult daughter I need to feel as well as possible. However doctor has asked to see me again...

I have been on Byetta 10 since February, having originally been on the 5 dosage, and feel that I am getting more and more nauseous as the weeks go by. I have been on the higher dose for 3 months now. I am losing my appetite which is good, but a lot of foods I used to eat, am now making me feel...

I dont always feel like eating, particularly breakfast and sometimes lunch. I am often very busy in the morning and have to rush out and really dont want to sit down and eat. Does anyone use replacement meals, the type you make up with milk. I am type 2 on Byetta, Insulin and Metformin. Any...

As a person who has difficulty with Diabetes I found the information interesting. Shouldnt we just be saying "thanks for that" instead of putting unhelpful comments. Not everyone deals with diabetes in the correct way. Yes there are people with far worse problems than Diabetes, my daughter...

Wow we must be close, I live just west of Cardiff Airport, at St. Athan. w/bunny

Hi Carolyn, not been on here myself for little while until today, and have only just read your post. With regard to the antidepressants I can really identify with you. Was on Prozac for years and whilst it was good in the beginning slowly the effect wore off but the whole time I was on it I...

I cant believe people pay for their testing strips. I have never paid for anything regarding my Diabetes. Not even for my meters. The clinic at the hospital I go to always have free ones. I couldnt afford to pay for strips. I know that living in Wales all prescriptions are free but even before...

Re: Anyone use Byetta? I am starting to feel much better now. Still get slightly light headed after morning one, but fine after evening one. Dont know why. Blood sugars a little better this morning but no weight loss at all. Seeing specialist tomorrow so will see what he says. Definitely...

Re: Anyone use Byetta? Problem is I keep nibbling to relieve my nausea, so maybe thats why I havent lost weight, maybe it takes a time to have an affect with me? Will certainly try injecting in the leg and see if that helps. Maybe I should try drinking more water, problem is I havent injected...
