Thanks JaneLiz and Mrs Puddleduck - your reply is quite reassuring. I'm off to the gym for my induction this afternoon and will see if that helps my blood sugar levels. :)

Hi! It's a long while since I've been on this forum, but I was interested in hearing about Type 3c - I also have diabetes as a result of gallstones giving me acute pancreatitis. What annoys me is that I was never told that I may become diabetic because of the damage to my pancreas and only found...

I looked for these yesterday in my local Lidl but there weren't any - perhaps someone had been in and bought them all up! What do they actually look like?

Hi, I think you're all amazing! I had acute pancreatitis 2.5 years ago caused by gall stones. My gall bladder was removed 6 months later. A year later I was diagnosed as Type 2 and have been on various medications since to try to get my blood sugars down. I've never heard of Type 3. However, I...

I feel I'm very lucky as, since I was diagnosed with Type 2 last year, my dn has seen me every 3 months to try to find the right combination of medication to bring my blood sugars down. We're still trying! I was given a monitor 3 months ago when she put me onto gliclazides and fortunately get...

I was also given a Gluco Rex by my dn and get strips and lancets on prescription. I haven't tried any other monitors so don't know how it would compare to another.

I like a cup of tea first thing, then I drink Kenco decaf coffee during the day, with a cup of tea at tea-time and bed-time. Today, however, as I'm on holiday I had a decaf cappuccino- that will be my last, felt really sick afterwards, too much cream! I don't have a gall bladder, so I should...

I was on Forxiga (+ metformin) for 3 months and felt really well on it, lost 2 pounds - great! - however, it didn't bring my blood sugars down enough so was put onto gliclazide and now have put on 4 pounds in 2 months - not impressed!

Since being put on gliclazides 2 months ago I have put on 4 pounds. I have cut down on my carbs and my portions, and am doing more exercise even though it whacks me out afterwards. Should I mention this to my diabetes nurse? My blood sugar levels still fluctuate and my morning one has never been...

Does it really taste good? I'm not keen on the taste of cauliflower.

Thanks, I found that really helpful.☺

6.8 this morning

Breakfast, 28grams nutty granola, omega 3seed mix, nectarine, tea Lunch, 2 scrambled eggs with 1 slice seeded loaf, banana, coffee x2 Undecided about eve meal, possibly salad with a couple of small new potatoes.

How sad, I loved his music. Pity we don't have more of that kind.

I've been on Beconaise for some years now for perennial allergic rhinitis, it doesn't seem to affect my blood sugars. Hope you feel better soon.

Good morning - 5.7 - a new low for me!

Just over a year. Had acute pancreatitis, then had gall bladder removed. Feel a bit annoyed that I wasn't warned about the probability of getting diabetes, and it was only after requesting blood tests for the second time that they discovered the diabetes, plus under active thyroid - no wonder I...

Yes, I had to do it this year. Miss my paper licence, though.
