That should be a 100km walk!

Hello 18 months ago I completed the London Moon walk marathon for breast cancer causes. At that point I was on Bydureon for type 2. Since then I've lost a 2nd aunt/Godmother to ovarian cancer and have signed up for a 100km walk to raise funds for Target Ovarian Cancer. All the generation below...

Hi I've been in denial over my T2 for a while but having now been put on insulin I'm keen to get my act together and sort myself out! The biggest thing I think is to sort out my weight with dieting and exercising. I'm currently classed as morbidly obese. I enjoy swimming so will do that but I...

I was wondering if having cancer can affect your BS levels as I've been struggling to keep mine in check for some time, and am about to get results of tests for suspected cancer. I know general illness can affect BS and I know that my levels rise when I have a heavy cold etc. Any insights...

I'm type2 on Januvia and Bydureon, and about to start training for the Moonwalk (marathon length power-walk). I think the only way I'm going to fit so much walking into my hectic life is to walk very early morning before work. I'm not sure what is best to do regarding food before and after my...

Re: weekly Injection I went for my annual review (diabetes specialist nurse at my surgery) and was ready for a fight to get Byetta and would have asked for a referal to my consultant if necessary. I didn't even get to ask, I was immediately offered Bydureon! I was amazed as previous requests...

Re: weekly Injection Hi I've just started on Bydureon and had my second injection last night. So far so good! I did feel very nauseous the first couple of days on it but not so bad this morning. Have you started on it yet? Sue

Re: BYDUREON Hi Ian I wondered how you were getting on with it. I've literally just started on Bydureon today. Would be interesting to compare notes with someone at the same stage with it. Sue

Hi Blackberry Just wanted to say I sympathise! I have a problem swallowing tablets in general although I have fortunately got a bit better since having to take so many after diagnosis. I have to cut the 'normal' metformin in half to take it, and have recently been switched to slow release due...

Hi I struggle with metformin due to the side effects and haven't been taking it as I should. Earlier this year I was prescribed januvia as well and initially showed an improved HBa1C. My latest results were up and we had the metformin discussion yet again. I should point out that I've been in...

Would be good to have PCOS diabetes type 2 after gestational diabetes related advice.... Thanks

I have a friend who was type 2, obese, and had a gastric bypass. 8 stone gone in a year and BG normal. I don't know what to make of it! Personally, I would prefer to lose the 8 stone through my own efforts, but the bypass seems to have worked for her.

Hi, I'm Sue, I'm 46 and have had type 2 since 2005. Ashamed to say I'm currently in denial, but have turned a corner and determined to do something about it! A bit of background; I have PCOS, it took me 10 years to fall pregnant. During the pregnancy I got gestational diabetes and was on...
