Well got results of HB test today and am now down to 53 instead of 61! That is after 6 mths. The GP was pleased with me and said whatever I am doing to keep doing! So low carbing a couple of days a week only, missing the Forxigia tablets occasionally, seems to be having a result! Still appt...

5.8, Seem to have been that most morning I test, so had the 3 mthly test yesterday so will be interested to see what that is when I see GP next week but am not seeing diabetic nurse for four weeks!

Thanks for that, will try it one day!

Am type 2. The smoothie had yesterday made no difference when I checked.

i have just bought myself a Kenwood Smoothies2Go smoothie maker and it is very easy. Have only up to now used a few raspberries, small banana and some unsweetened almond milk. However, one of my friends has said that they are bad if you are diabetic as the natural sugar is high! I do not tend...

Was originally on 10mg but because I was having thrush, and going a lot to toilet I persuaded GP to reduce it to 5mg and the thrush has improved but I still need to wee a lot specially in night! I take the tablet mid day as found that helped. Have lost weight since been on it.

I have to avoid anything with lanolin in as allergic too it, but get Cetraben from Dr which I use on my legs as they are so dry and this helps a lot. However, it is an emollient so quite thick so can only use it sparingly and at night.

My last drink of the evening has been Roobos tea for last few years, no milk etc, and I get either Sainsburys or Redbush. I find it helps me sleep.

Someone mentioned that they had been changed from Metformin SR. to Glocuphage, well I used a different chemist and am still on Metformin SR but they are called Glocuphage whereas before they were Metabet? So do not think the tablets are any different just different manufacturers. Still have...

Well she suggested 5mg of Forxiga instead of 10 and it has made things somewhat better, but still have times of stomach cramps/pains and the swings between but less frequently! Also reducing the amount of Forxigia has helped to reduce the thrush episodes too. After a flare up with the side...

Morrisons own brand is good. I make my own quite often using a Lakeland Yogurt maker (not easy yo) and using full fat milk. There is no sugar or sweetner in it and it lasts several days in fridge. Add berries to it.

Oh, could not do that! Would have to eat it!

Well, no infection but different cream has helped to some extent with thrush. However, Dr wants me to continue with Forxigia but agreed to reduce dose whn I said abou the excessive trips to toilet, so now have 5mg tablets instead of 10 so will see if that helps with the side effects!

Yes, I am the same! Dr says it can happen!!

I too rarely drink anything fizzy as get wind!! Yes, if we investigated what was in all what we eat we probably would not want to eat any of it so best not to think too hard about such things!

I love chocolate and so have made myself change to dark chocolate which I am not keen on so when I gave a craving a eat a square of that and it stops me wanting more!

Eek would never eat Quorn as am allergic to mushrooms which are also a fungus. Also allergic to penicillin which has mould in background! If you are allergic mushrooms though you may also have reaction to prawns and strawberries as there is something also in them that is similar.

I take Forxigai and Metformin but that is how Doctor prescribed. I take Metformin at breakfast and teatime and Forxigia with my lunch. However, I think it can be taken on own. Yes it does make you wee a lot more but has not made me any thirstier. Went back to Doctor today to query the Forxiga...

This morning was 6.1' seem to between 5.8 and 6.2 most days. (Have just done a check now, just over hour and half from breakfast and 6.9)

I got diarrhea with Metformin sr. However since having Forxigia as well now I have constipation or the two tablets conflict and I get terrible stomach cramps! Having to see GP again.
