    Difficulty walking

    I have a difficulty with low carb because of a gallbladder issue I had some years ago resulting in internal gangrene so I can not eat a lot of fatty foods.

    Difficulty walking

    My last HbA1c was 58 and the GP thought this was ok. Previous one was 46 so there was a bit of a change but not huge.

    Thank you. Yes I will.

    Difficulty walking

    Yes I think it's something I'll have to speak to the GP about. The forum is a great comfort when yet another diabetes symptom rears its head so I thought I'd air this particular difficult here where there are others possibly in the same boat.

    Difficulty walking

    A support is, I guess a possibility but I'm trying to put that off for a while yet. I also don't want to bring it under the attention of my co workers in a very new job.

    Difficulty walking

    That sounds grim. I'm truly not in any pain, my problem seems to be coordination.

    Difficulty walking

    GP knows about the lack of feeling in the foot but I haven't discussed the balance problem. It has been happening for about a year now but just recently it seems to be getting a bit worse.

    Difficulty walking

    Does anyone else have difficulty walking. When I say difficulty I mean that I don't seem to be able to walk in a straight line for very long. I'm all over the place and sometimes I hope that passersby won't think I'm drunk which, I'm not. I've limited feeling in part of my left foot and wonder...

    Is it a good idea to increase Metformin without the GPs consent?

    Thank you all so very much for your help,support and good wishes. I'm sure things will turn around once I've formulated a plan. I'm due to go off for a short break next week in the country and will certainly be able to do a lot of walking. In spite of the Metformin the BG was 13.9 fasting this...

    Is it a good idea to increase Metformin without the GPs consent?

    Also a good idea. Definitely need my head cleared at the moment and if it brings the BG down even better.

    Is it a good idea to increase Metformin without the GPs consent?

    My job was made redundant this week. The stress I've been under over the last few days has sent by BG way up. Fasting 11. It'll be ages before I get a doctors appointment do you think it a good idea to increase my dose of Metformin?

    Angry! Angry! Angry!

    I attended a DESMOND course in January and was told to eat pasta rice biscuits etc and was also told there was no need to test unless on insulin. No wonder there's so much confusion!

    Diarrhoea and a false alarm at A&E

    My GP changed me over to Metformin SR because of diahorrea but it doesn't seem to be making any difference. Been having continuing diahorrea and really bad sweating first thing in the morning and not so good at times throughout the day. Ended up in A&E this morning with bowel pains. In...
