    Safe cholesterol level?

    I have to agree with misterdj, I personally believe there are too many myths surrounding cholesterol as it is a very necessary item in our body's daily functioning. Have a good read on the subject and make up your own mind.

    Perplexed and angry at a doctor

    As a Type 2 diabetic on metformin I have been fortunate to have been prescribed test strips which allows me to monitor my daily blood sugar. My DSN gave me a meter and my GP put them on repeat prescription for me. This was a year past now. I put my repeat in for renewal the other day after...

    lowest hba1c group has highest mortality?

    I have read a review of this work, but I can't find it right now, which was highly scathing of the type of subjects chosen and the type of medication they have previously been prescribed. As we all know A1C is an average and can be full of very high and very low readings to give a low A1C...

    Saturated Fat v Polyunsaturated Fat.

    I was very interested in reading this article. It was nice to note that they stated that there was little scientific evidence to link a reduction in the intake of saturated fat to the prevention of heart disease.   However this “study” is a review of previously collected data from different...

    Does anyone else have have side effects of Metformin

    I read your post several days ago but did not have a chance to reply. I was in the unfortunate position to suffer from depression before I was identified as a Type 2 diabetic. The reason for me wanting to reply is that I loved cooking and eating but with the advent of my depression I didn't...

    Addiction

    It was quite bizarre, I stopped smoking cigars 6 years ago with no cravings.

    Irony? I have a diabetic nurse who delivers the NHS party diet line but low carbs herself. :roll: At least I have a helpful and sympathetic ear. I consider myself lucky and have had good support from Dr and Nse alike. Ken
