Hi Torchman, I'm not too sure where to go looking for those tests and I did just search my medical record. As it happens I've had inflammation in my body for the past few years and now that my diabetes is coming under control, albeit with some other issues like not absorbing Vit D. I confronted...

Hi Purplepenguin, I've had ups and down with my vision. My journey started with me going blind as a result of a HbA1c of 103 back in 2015! What I would recommend is that you go and have an eye tested, this should be free for you as you are diabetic, if they recommend glasses for reading...

Hi, I'm not on your one, but I've just started 'SynJardy' which is Empagliflozin with Metformin. And have been told to expect thrush and urine infections, but (I'm about to Jinx myself) and say I've been luck so far. but I'm just entering my 2nd week on these. I've been drinking alot more...

Hi all, Finally back, as been getting my Mini-Stroke looked at. Mini-stroke now looking unlikely for why my leg gave way (in another thread), so quite pleased about that. However being tired in the morning and leg pain have increased. So Dr now that the mini-stroke was going off of the radar...

Hampshire_Lad, I'd definitely not try anything experimental especially as from what I can read, they just want to turn you into a pin cushion, I'd be wanting to do some tried and tested drugs first (as your readings don't sound that bad, whilst not on meds) and good effort mate for doing...

Hi, Thanks for that, my cousin did say that for the first 2 weeks his blood sugars were forced down alot with which he had problems (as in Hypos) and yes that there was alot of peeing, however he attributes that to helping with the weight loss. But yes it took him 2 weeks to get used to it, as...

HI, I've just seen my cousin who lives in Europe and he got put on Synjardy and that (for him) seems to have helped him lose weight and get his bloody sugars down to almost normal. I've never heard of this drug but he showed me the box and I was just wondering, if anyone here is on it (as it...

Thanks for that I'll check it out.

Is anyone else feeling really really tired/exhausted in the mornings? I'm wondering if it s the heat, or the fact that I am now on blood thinners, but I've never felt so exhausted and completely unable to get up in the mornings. My blood sugars aren't too bad in the morning, after an hour of...

All thank you for your support and other experiences not to mention the extra reading which I will do shortly. I'm now just waiting on the MRI and then I'll know where I am. I'm just glad that I went to the doctors. I'll update soon,

Hi All, Just thought I'd update you, last week (Sun) I finally got around to asking on here if anyone else had had a 'Pain in right thigh bone/muscle' after months of it only really bothering me at night.... Oh and I should correct that it was actually my left leg... Anyway, long story short, I...

Hi, I've been ignoring a pain in my right leg, middle of my thigh bone now for a month or 2, it doesn't hurt at all until I sit down and then i remember it again, although its only when I sit down to relax at home, so slouching... And oldly it feels cold... Anyone else had pain from their...

I must admit that I was in holland and barrett, completely forgetting that I'd read a few weeks ago that they where now selling this and grabbed myself a bottle when a guy in front of me asked if there was any in store... I was hoping that it might assist me to sleep and hoping as a side affect...

Hi Celsus, Thanks for your reply, I'm a guy and am 52... But good to hear.

Hi All, I've not been around for a while but just had my latest Hb1Ac and it was 54. However I know why that is, I basically have been getting very forgetful and forgetting to take my medicine, logn story while there I noticed that my Serum creatinine was marked up as abnormal with a warning...

Hi, I remember that on Trust Me I'm a Doctor programme Dr M Moseley found out that he had high cholesterol and as a result of the research he was doing weighed up the pros and cons.... And everyone correct me if I remember this wrong but he opted to take and so start using statins... I...

Hi, Reading with interest as I posted a question about statins ages ago and got some good feed back about making sure the proper LDL HDL tests were done before I started which they hadn't. Long story short I ended up with Sepsis so had bigger fish to fry but... on reading between the lines...

Hi, I went to an eye hospital, that had an eye A&E, track down the nearest eye hospital with an eye A&E and go in telling them what you're seeing and they ougth to start doing test. What mine was, is a blister in my eye, but just out of the field of vision.

Hi, I was put on gliclazide as a result of having contracted Sepsis and my blood sugars where interfering with the antibiotics so I needed something to really push my sugars down as metformin by itself wasn't working able to control my sugars. Long story short, as you can see from my reading...

Hi there @ObscureMH I just wanted to say, well done for taking action soooooo so after being diagnosed and that I when I was diagnosed I really valued the real advice from the good people on this forum as a guide. But in general good on you for asking for meter and do what works for you...
