I used the door stretch. stand by a door reach back and place your hand on top of the door then gently turn away and maybe down from the door so that you can feel the stretch.. keep it up but don't overdo it. After a few mins of mild stretching pain, the muscles/tendons pulling the shoulder...

why not try semaglutide in tablet form GLP1 in long lasting form and snack on peanuts&cashews, cut out bread.. or swap to dark rye with inulin from Polish Bakery. use whole milk not semi skined I don't think regular small protein snacks will spike or cause big releases of insulin Porridge is...

I've been on Farxiga since 2013.. read the warning on NICE and tried showing GP/Nurse etc. 3 months after taking it I developed Plantar Facilitis , got tired and my joints hurt.. The GPs just asked for basic blood tests which showed nothing.. One time I was in a long meeting unable to drink...

I was on exenatide same type of daily short term GLP1 injection. GLP1 affects the Vegas nerve and for me caused me to retain food for 3 days.. before it was a healthy 14hrs. Worked great initially for the meal you injected it.. easy to inject with a pen but after a while I started to resent...

"Some research has indicated that chemicals in the Stevia plant can drop blood sugar levels in a way that will limit the body’s ability to control the blood sugar level. However, other experiments have indicated that this is not the case. Those that have diabetes should carefully monitor their...

See you take Glipizide - Zircon? Did you find your weight going up? I was on just Metformin and lost 1.5 st which lowered my Ha1Bc, then had Zircon and quickly put all the weight back on and kept slowly putting on weight. It lowered my BS but increased my weight and after a year the lowering...

Splenda is sucralose Which chemically is Sugar where they have replaced a H atom with chloride which makes it 200 times sweeter than the sugar it came from. Problem is it tricks the brain and makes you crave sugar even more. Most non natural sweeteners do. Don't use Yellow (sucralose)...

Maybe, maybe not.. If I was going to stay on a low carb for a long time I would at least pay for a gut flora check to make sure I wasn't replacing diabetes with another possible illness. IBS and C diff are lot worse. I'm sure low carb will work for some and not for others...

A GP only needs a blood test to diagnose Diabetes, but it does sound like you are pre diabetic.

Not on Carb diet, but on low GI. Oats, bananas etc are low GI, but I eat it more to try to change my gut flora. It also stops me from getting hungry so quickly after breakfast. Ready meals porridge does increase BS as they have added sugar, but just plain oats shouldn't. If you don't tolerate...

Lived off just leek/cabbage soup no bread for 3 days. Still woke up with 13 if not on meds and went to 18 after having soup. Think the longer I have used metformin the less effect it has which wasn't that much in the beginning. Did lose weight (1.5stone) but put that down to the metformin...

If you are prescribed metformin then you qualify.. but if you can eat e.g. a Mars bar and are constantly under 9/10 when not taking any drugs (i.e. Normal) a GP might not prescribe you anything. Metformin and other diabetes drugs are a great strain on your liver, kidneys etc. GPs are under...

People who have gastric surgery or who go on a 600 Calorie diet for 6 weeks have had diabetes 2 reversed. Proven. Visceral fat is one of the main causes of diabetes, lose it and you have a chance or reversing diabetes 2. They have made diabetic rats non diabetic by feeding them probiotics...

http://www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/HealthCosts/1126.aspx You can get all your NHS prescriptions free if you have a valid medical exemption certificate because you have: diabetes mellitus, except where treatment is by diet alone; It does make sense. If you are not on tablets why do you need free...

That is why alamagan fillings are banned in Scandinavia and it is a criminal offence to use them. Alas the UK government thinks saving money is better than people's health.

Hi, I was on metformin, lost 1.5 stone. but didn't help lower readings much so was given gliclazide too. In a few months I put the 1.5 stone back on and slowly kept putting weight on around torso. So did lot of research.. and initially asked for GLP-1 weekly injections but was told they...

The reason they expire is that Diabetes 2 can expire/be cured. If you manage to keep your diabetes under 10 without pills/drugs you will lose the right to free meds. In the future even Diabetes 1 caught early might be curable. Ergo the certificates need to be renewed.

The reason for the certificate is to prove that you are diabetic and not just someone one claiming to be that is trying to get other drugs for free. The medical exemption card gives you free prescriptions for anything. Viagra, Cialis, Codeine, you name it. These can be falsely claimed and then...
