Hi It would appear that you may have been chosen unfairly for redundancy. The assessment matrix used to decide who goes and who stays should be published to all the people involved before the selection takes place. The fact that they moved the goalposts afterwards suggests a little - erm -...

Hi Hana, thanks for your reply I wish I could understand why I'm having hypo's too! I tend to have breakfast and lunch at approximately the same time every day (7am and 12 midday) then dinner is usually somewhere between 6 and 7pm. I always have mid-morning and mid-afternoon snacks of fruit...

Thanks for your reply Gogi The only meds I take are Thyroxin (have taken same dose for over 20years) and HRT. I stopped taking Metformin and Gliclazide over a month ago - strangely, it has had no effect at all on my readings. The symptoms that I now recognise as hypo's have been with me for...

Hi! I've posted here a couple of times before and found the advice given to be very helpful so, here I am again to see if anyone has experienced the situation I find myself in :) Diagnosed with T2 over a year ago, I was put on Metformin. Not happy with the support of my GP, I went to...

Hi! Just thought I would give an update - I went to see the senior doctor in the practice this week and boy, am I glad I did?! He agreed that my diabetes had not been adequately managed so far and immediately put me on Gliclazide, a low dose of half a tab in the mornings. He also advised me to...

Thanks Lynne, I might try to see another doctor in the practice. Although last time I did that, the receptionist refused and said that my doc wanted to monitor progress herself. I'll be a bit more forceful next time! It seems that there is a fair amount of conflicting advice around, I think...

This is the first time I have posted here, I'm doing so because I'm worried that my diabetes isn't being managed properly and would appreciate some help :? Having suffered from depression for a couple of years, I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes in December last year. I was prescribed...
