hi, this has been troubling me for ages. I was diagnosed T2 about 16 years ago, long enough to have sorted out my food/fruit/drinks likes and dislikes. What I still haven't sorted out is why, every once in a while, I develop a sudden need to use the toilet with no real prior warning. My...

I have been thinking of slimming world for ages, my go referred me to a now defunct group which seemed to be composed of 'I say eat this'. And exercise but no real help. Fingers crossed, my GOP will refer me too!!

I must be lucky, my practice have never 'talked at 'me', there are two diabetes nurses and I chhoose which one I see. My next review is due in December, so things may change but I currently taken Metformin and statins, the statins were my personal choice, my cholesterol was and is good but I...

Hi, unfortunately, I don't drive anymore, my sight is not good enough to allow me to. I will, however, still discuss this with the surgery.

I do get an annual check up in December, the full works followed by a chat with a diabetic nurse, my June check up is just a blood test for HBa1C and my blood pressure. When I was on my original dose my HB1aC had gone down to 5.9, so it was decided to lower my metformin to 2 x 500 from 2 x 850...

I would like to add my comments to this discussion. I take 2 x 500 meteor in and 1 x2 mg glimepiride in the morning, together with 2 x 599 meteor in., having dropped from 2 x 859 met forming twice a day, in 2014). When I was first diagnosed with T2 I tested my blood, every day between...

Hi I had this chat sometime ago, I was at one pint doing my bs levels and keeping an eye on things but it seems as I am t2 I don't need/qualify for test strips. I do remember being at work and not feeling well, so out of curiosity I did a test - it was under 4, whoops, luckily I had some...

Well, I have to admit, when I am home it is largely what I cook, meat, two veg or sometimes Chinese, which is fatal for me, I tend to have chicken always but often with cashew nuts or sweet and sour (not too oten). I think my downfall is no exercise, housework yes, walking a lot no! I don't...

Mike, thank you. Yes, I am t2 but my go says I don't need to test, so I gave up doing it. Apparently, it is not necessary as I am not on insulin, just meteor on 2 x 500 twice a day and glimiperide 2mg 1 x day. My last Hb1ac was up at 6"7 but I know why, too much time in Norfolk and not...

Hi mike Thank you. I am hoping to be able to get grips with this, my first 'chatroom' experience. I have signed up for the hypo awareness course, which was perhaps my first admission that I am diabetic and not alone in this. I am looking forward to being part of this group. Barb

Hi everyone's i

My name is barb, I have been type 2 since 2000, which was perhaps not the shock it might have been, I was fortunate as my optition noticed a problem with my eyes and wrote to my go. I worked for an insurance company for 27 years but took early retirement, in their eyes, in 2012, so I should...
