Thanks for the reply KK123, sounds like I should give them a miss !

Tonight for the first time in about 4 years my blood glucose is down to 5.8 all down to low carbing. I can't begin to explain how happy this makes me ! A question......do any of you manage to eat apples without it raising your blood sugar, or do you suggest I just try and test and see what...

So....a doctor from the surgery phoned me this morning(not the one that sent the blunt text). He says the scan shows fat infiltration of the liver so now I have to have a whole load of blood tests done for the liver and he is referring me for a fibroscan. He said that the scan did not show any...

Thnak you, you have all been reassuring, I feel a bit better about it all tonight. I rarely touch alcohol so I know it can't be alcohol related. I will let you know what the doctor says on Monday.

Hi Andydragon, I had bloods done end of September and my ALT level is 22. All the rest of my Liver function tests were normal also on that test.

Hi KK,yes the text was extremely blunt ! My past blood tests have all been totally normal. Hi Tricia Ws, you fill me with hope, I hope I can reverse this.

Thank you for your reply bulkbiker. I do eat a lot of fruit, especially red grapes and satsumas. After looking up chronic liver disease on Dr. Google I am imagining dreadful things but you think it can be cured or reversed ? That would be brilliant, I have not been a good diabetic, though...

Please can anyone help. I recently had an ultrasound to check for gallstones. My GP has texted me the results(which came through at 3.30am this morning on my phone!) It says that it did not show gallstones but it showed chronic liver disease due to fatty liver. I am beside myself with worry...

When your finger prick test is running continuously around 18-21, how long should it take to come down to acceptable numbers once you start low carbing ?

After advice please. My figures have been going up for some time(high teens/low twenties). Started on Victoza yesterday at 1.2mg. My figures dropped within 6 hours to 6.9. This morning tested before I have injected and it reads 12. Want advice as to whether I should just proceed to inject...

Thank you all for your comments, I really do appreciate them. I have made an appointment to go for a blood test in February so then I will know how bad/good it is. I am planning on getting some testing strips this weekend to see for myself how bad a mess i am in. Like i said already, I know...

Well what a mess i am in with my diabetes ! 3 years ago everything was on track with it. Then a member of our family became ill and I cared for them and everything went wrong from that point. I was so stressed and eating all the wrong things, put weight back on, blood sugars are god knows what...

5 years since diagnosed with diabetes type 2 - hba1c in March of 9.2(been creeping upwards every test!) Well, realised I was gonna end up on a shed load of more pills(or worse!) as I already take 4 x 500 mg glucophage a day and sitagliptin and in my mid forties, this was not a good future. So...

Just been reading todays news page on here. Do you think it is ok to keep taking actos or is there an alternative drug. I've just had my prescription increased to 30 mg but after reading about some countries banning this drug I think I might speak to my db nurse about it!

Hi Sandy, What trouble you are having with everything, my thoughts are with you, but stay positive as I am sure you will. With regards to your tooth problem, as some have already said, think seriously before having them all removed as it would be such a major step and how long would the healing...

Hi, If your blood sugars are running too high then you will still be tired! What are your current readings? Metformin does work, but it takes time. You say you are on 200mg? Have you got to increase this dose over a period of weeks? I am currently on 1500mg metformin, started on 500mg per day...

Hi Sandy, I really feel for you and what you are going through. I had hard times with my mum, from times when I was only six and she took an overdose(because of depression) and I had to be examined because medics thought that she had given me pills as well!! through to age 12 when I had the...

Hi sandy, sorry you are receiving such "****" treatment. How does the nurse feel that those levels are acceptable. What was your HBA1c result? and why are they going to wait 6 months to review you when you obviously need to be reviewed in 2 or 3 months? regards, ang.

"sunny" Cornwall !

Had a bit of a funny turn on Wednesday - never experienced anything like it before. Got up felt fine, did work on farm then came in to see to my holidaymakers breakfast, stood and sink and dreadful feeling came over me in an instant, thought I was going to pass out(but did not) and pulse was...
