Hi sorry to bother you but think I can safely say the antibiotics aren't working and I'm getting worse. I'm in a lot more pain than before although it's still just about bearable. I'm belching now practically non stop and I have a really bad burning sensation all the way down the middle of my...

The antibiotics are for 7 days, I had to take two straight away and there were eight tablets and I have to take one a day. Normally you take three tablets a day and I've always started to feel better after three tablets, which I think is generally the norm. I have had 4 tablets so far so was...

Absolutely agree about the two tests, but to say 7.1 is normal fasting level is typical of doctors and nurses. A fasting level if 7.1 should warrant further investigation. It's the third day of my antibiotics and I've woken this morning after a restless night still in pain and feeling really...

That sounds scary hope you've fully recovered? When the nurse took my blood sugar she said it was perfectly normal, even though I told her I had come straight from my bed without eating or drinking so it was a fasting level. I also told her 7.1 fasting is used to diagnose diabetes she said...

Agh thanks that's kind of you. The antibiotics haven't made a difference yet, if anything the pain and burning sensation under my ribs is much worse than before which is worrying and I feel like I have a tight wire across the top of my stomach. I was hoping I would have had some relief by now...

Sorry to be ignorant, I'm new to all this so this will be a really stupid question But.. What's the difference in solutions to high FB in type 1 and 2 Got scared of asking this question and tried to delete but it wouldn't let me! :(

Called my doctors this morning and was waiting for a callback from the triage nurse to decide if I warranted an emergency appointment. My father was rushed from a dementia unit to A&E just after I finished calling the surgery. Crawled out of bed and went the hospital with my mother. Long...

Hi I have had two mortons neuromas one on each foot. I saw a specialist but never had any scans the surgeon immediately knew what they were from an examination. I had them both removed in hospital day surgery in two separate operations. They typically appear between the third and forth toe and...

Thanks If the pain gets to a point I can't stand or still hasn't gone in the next day or so then I will go to the drop in centre. I was of the opinion if it was pancreatitis though I would be in unbearable pain and I'm not there yet..

No I haven't had it yet

Thank you, I haven't been diagnosed with pancreatitis but I've been in bed for ten days with flu like symptoms, extreme headache I can't shift, no appetite and severe pain on the left side of my stomach just below my rib cage, which radiates into my back and across the top of my stomach like I'm...

They sell out really quickly so best to buy a dozen and freeze them! Strangely they only take about ten minutes to defrost.

Hi, hope you get this sorted soon! Can I pick your brains? Do your symptoms ever extend to your water works or does it just effect your bowel movements and is it relieved by eating less?

Not sure how anyone can eat a whole one of these they are really filling!

Good luck, it sounds like you've already had some improvement because you're no longer having the blurred vision so you're on the right track!

I was told that if you prick your finger and smear the blood then squeeze finger and test that was sufficient to clear the alcohol from a wipe..

That's brilliant news! if you can get your blood sugars down then you should be able to fend off any future complications with your vision. Just keep clear of those carbs!!

See post above yours... @Eurobuff manages her diabetes really well through diet alone and has managed to reduce her HbA1c result to non diabetic levels. Do you have a monitor, to check your blood sugars after meals?

One slice of wholemeal toast, potatoe and sweet corn are all things that would send my blood sugars into double figures, even if eaten in the smallest quantities. You may need to cut them completely until you get your blood sugars under control. You may find you can reintroduce them later. Good...

Agh no poor you! Hopefully you're feeling a bit better now your'e home. No one likes hospitals at the best of times and it's always nice to go home. I hope you're following all the advice you've been given and you pick up again real soon. Take care x
