Hi peeps i just wondered if there are any vegans or veggies out there? i used to be veggie for years and this week hav decided to go back but will also be cutting out milk and cheese to a recently discovered intolerance! im not one of those 'junk food' veggies as i love my fruit n veg and...

Hiya I'm going to go see the doctor anyway but thought i'd ask on here too... I have fiddled with my diet a bit and actually lost some weight in the last couple of weeks after a few years of not losing anything! I've added a few 'good' carbs and cut down my prtion sizes after previously low...

Hiya I just wondered if many of you suffer from a 'compromised' immune system due to diabetes? My husband is type one and in the last few months has had severe stomach cramps almost constantly and frequent bouts of sickness. (He is going for a scan in a couple of weeks to make sure it is...

Hi My husband is type 1 (only diagnosed in March) and he seems to have a sickness bug and stomach cramps.. He is just doin what anyone would normally do when they have a bug and rest, drink water etc. He is testing regularly so that is ok. Is there anythin else he should be doing and how long...

Hi My husband has just been diagnosed with Type 1 yesterday after a few weeks of not feeling very well - bit of a whirlwind really and now he's on insulin! I have been type 2 for about 4 years now so I low carb and take metformin. I know that some of the type ones on here also low carb so i...

Hi I just wondered if anyone else is taking Propanalol for migraines? I have been taking it since last April and in the first week (apart from the gurgly tum!) I was very lethargic but it wore off and gradually i was back to normal. I have been very tired lately and wondered if it is this...

Hi, I don't think this problem is diabetes related as I am well-controlled and don't eat sugar but wanted to see if anyone else has had similar problems. I started getting regular wee infections in August last year, some started as cystitis-y symptoms and others started in my kidneys. The...

Hi I did a search about water infections on this site and quite a lot of info came back. I haven't been able to filter through most of it so sorry if this is a question that has already been asked recently. I am 29 and type 2 *(well controlled - low carbs). I have had 3 water infections...

Hiya I just wanted to pick some brains and see if anyone has shared a similar experience to me! I am 29, type 2 dx 2008. Have been taking Metformin since May last year but I think it is starting to work against me. This probably sounds a bit weird - I seem to be having side effects which...

Hi I have been low carbing since dx last October but have now decided to switch to low GI instead. This is because I like the odd carb at the weekend but have found that body does not really agree with me trying to combine the two! I feel I am starting over every Monday so have decided to...

Hi This probably sounds a bit silly but I don't know if I experience 'hypo's' or not. I am type 2 (diagnosed October) diet and Metformin (since May) and currently not testing. I suppose my question is - if I feel like I am low then should I act on it given the fact I am not testing or is it...

Hi I've been to docs tonight to get blood results from last week and my HBA1C has gone up despite my low carb diet and exercise. Have been prescribed Metformin. Am feeling a bit freaked out at the moment to be honest and panic-thinking my future already as I'm only 28! He told me my thyroid...

Stumbled across this forum by accident and so pleased I have! I am 28 and was diagnosed with Type 2 in October. I was not having any regular symptoms but this last week have felt a bit pap so am going to docs tomorrow. He had mentioned starting me on Metformin next time I go (was meant to be...
