I'm glad it's Woking for you. I was onTrulicity Ozempic, and Victoza consecutively. I wasn't able to eat but mostly because I felt sick all the time.

I tried the Dexcom free trial and found it interesting. I don't think I really need it but found it useful to look at directions bs was moving in. It reinforced what I believed the effect of certain foods would be but surprised me about the delayed effect of exercise. It consistently read...

I have an appointment with the Diabetes nurse next week so I've copied the information from one of the reports which links low ferritin to raised HbA1c just in case so thank you again.

Hello. Thank you for all this. It is brilliant. I think after the conversation with my doctor she is aware of the problem and frustrated that the NHS won't do anything. My B12 is managed by tablets, at least they work, and currently 451. I take one every three days and although it's...

It would be great if you could dig out the names of the clinics for me. I'll 'happily' pay for this first one but |I have a concern about how often I'll need one; I can't afford £920 on a regular basis. At the moment I'm prepared to do anything to make me feel better. Sorry for unloading all...

I'm glad that you've been successful on the NHS. The protocol in our local hospital is that if the haemoglobin isn't low then they won't do it and mine had gone up since I was put on iron tablets in November. I didn't respond to the iron tablets either. The last time I was put on them a...

Thank you. Fingers crossed.

Well I had a long conversation with my doctor who was upset that the NHS wouldn't give me an infusion though I obviously need it. There was little else that she could do but suggested that if I could afford it that was a specialist doctor in Cambridge who might be able to help. A phone call...

Hello Louise. It's hard isn't it dealing with your own health and being concerned with others' too? My husband has heart problems and the last year has been difficult with multiple hospital appointments. We are lucky though, Papworth is only 45 minutes away. The support of this forum is...

I wonder if that was just a bad batch. I've been using it for over a year since Yeo Valley went up to £4. I haven't noticed any difference.

Thank you for that. I have B12 problems too . Years on Metformin can cause low absorption of B12 and I suppose 25 years counts. Seems like after 32 years of Type 2 things are beginning to bite. I will discuss it with the doctor on Friday and the Diabetic nurse in a couple of weeks.

Hello all. I'm curious to see if anyone else has come across this. My ferritin levels have hovered around a low number for a couple of years now; anything from 8 to 38. When I contacted the doctor in November feeling unwell, very low energy, restless legs, waking up with a headache and tired...

Hello. I don’t know if my experience will help you but you might find it interesting. It was suggested by a consultant that I go on to an injection as I said I was putting on a bit of weight. I wasn't in the BMI range where its usually suggested. Trulicity was first; after three months and...

I'm afraid I had to go through the same procedure. I was on Dapagliflozin for a couple of years then had to come off it but earlier this year the diabetes nurse agreed I could go back. The first time she just prescribed the pills but this time I had to go to the hospital for a 'special' blood...

I feel for you. I was tried on # different ones a couple of years ago. Yes I lost weight but wasn't really overweight at the time, simply by feeling so sick most of the time that I couldn't eat. Not a good time! Hope it turns out better for you.

Thank you. We've had a pretty rotten year this year so just catching up on old routines.

Last night I had lamb/chicken curry with leftovers from a restaurant roast on Sunday! I put a tin of cherry tomatoes, half a chopped courgette and onion and garlic then served it with cauliflower rice. Lovely!

Hello. Since going low carb I only use full fat Greek style yoghurt, from Lidl at present. it has fewer carbs that low fat does as to compensate for the fat there is more sugar. Mad isn't it? I thought it might impact on cholesterol but nothing, if anything, it's down a bit and during my...

Right I shall go hunting. We only have two little ones locally but on my next trip to Cambridge I shall go looking. Thank you for that.

I've had a bowl of berries with Greek yoghurt (I really like Lidl's) and my home made granola with a cup of tea. Half an hour on the exercise bike has set me up for the day!
