Paracetamol !! I have an appointment on Tuesday. I hope they can help.

This has only happpened since my arthritis flared up. I am checking my blood every morning it was only 9.5 this morning, so perhaps I am winning. I adjust my insulin depending on what I eat, and don't have a diabetic nurse any more, she was head hunted and the practice has not replaced her...

I have been diabetic for more than 14 years. My sugars have been under good control with the use of Insulin, Metformin and sitagliptin. Recently the GP cut my sitagliptin by 50% (because of kidney difficulties) and 3 months later my sugars have crept up. I also have osteo arthritis and at the...

Thanks for answering. I don't have a podiatrist. I have ordered flexitol on line and hope it will be here soon.

Hi, I've just come back from 4 nights away in this country at the sea, in my camper van. I have worn sandals for the first time this year and within 2 days my feet were cracked and bleeding. No particular hard skin. Very sore to walk on. I am type 2 but take insulin. I will buy some...

Yes urban racer , it could be someone stabbing me. But my sugars are usually controlled, but the snow might have nmade me forgetful. I will take care. Thanks for that I have co codamol in the cupboard. I'm off to get it now. Thanks Boo I had forgotten that.

Just looked gout up. No swelling or heat in the joint. So I din't think it is likely to be that . But thanks anyway.

Thanks Bananak , I will look into that as well. Unless I hit it with a hammer first!!

I was kept awake last night for the whole night apart from 1 hour at the start and between 5 and 6 in the morning. The pain is in 1 toe and it is like an electric shock lasting less thn a second , but it returns often, every 4 or 5 minutes. I take it it is a nerve pain. I thought it would go...

I lost lots of teeth and the surrounding bone because of gum infection. With diabetics it is the same as infection any where, you are more prone and healing in difficult. Regards Lynne

Thanks Prem 51 I must have been hallucinating !!!

I hope it was on this site. I read a post that said that the GP could let you register to see your notes on line from April. My surgery did not know about it. Can any one make it clearer to me. Thanks

you can get low blood sugar without being diabetic. That could cause sweats and headache. Again not a doctor but it used to happen during the day to my daughter. Good luck with the blood test.

I became diabetic through taking prednisolone for PMR. I was in my 50s and I am now on insulin and back on the setroids for another bour of PMR. If he takes it slowly and eats plenty of other food stuffs then a low carb diet should not do any harm. Prednisolone is designed to reduce your...

Aldi also do a BEAUTIFUL butter in a blue wrapper made in Cornwall Worth every penny

I had some in the tests 2 years ago and like you it has gone now Mine is definitely not a mistake because the hospital and the optician do the tests and both said the same. Good isn't it

My insulin is kept in the crisper draw at the bottom of the 'fridge. The other tablets, meters etc seem to live on the kitchen table. Oh dear perhaps i'll be able to take on some of your ideas.
