Hi Not been on the website for a while, but got my latest Hba1c today, it was 39 or 5.71% that a drop of at least 1& since my last test 6 months ago. What I find strange is I have not changed my diet at all really perhaps slightly less as I have lost 6lbs in weight the only other change that I...

Not posted for a while but just wanted to know if anyone else experiences higher blood Glucose levels in the winter time and vary in general with the seasons. Over the course of the winter I noticed that my BGs wer gradually creeping up especially in the mornings, some mornings it was as high as...

Hi Tiny Tim, My wife has also complained on occasion that I emit a bad smell, I have tried to get her to describe it but just says it stinks. Like your wife I dont have personal Hygene problems. I have not seen the doctor about it though, I am Type two and on Glicazide and Metformin so it cant...

Hi Jike, Glad you are managing well most of the time, I also have had trouble getting things stabalsied after exercise. I personally have found that I need to take on some carbs before and during exercise, a lot depends on the intensity and the duration though. As you have said that you are...

Off to the Doctors now as I just cant cope feeling like this anymore. Another frosty reception from my wife at lunchtime. Oh the joys

Hi, I have not been on the forumns for quite a while but just needed a bit of support. I just feel that my life is caving in around me, currently having relationship difficulties at home and struggling to control my BGs, to be honest they are all over the place despite eating a healthy lowish...

Hi, You may want to have a look at the runsweet website/forumn this site covers specifically diabetes and sport so some of the guys on that may be able to give you some useful ideas. The site covers all sorts of sports but I do know cycling is covered quite well. Anyway have a look and keep up...

Hi Salty, Dont want to panick you but I would get to see a Doctor asap, with Bgs as high as that it could be dangerous. Hope all is ok when you see the Doc, you could always go to A & E if you start to feel ill.

That kind of attitude really annoys me also. I suppose I could be classed as the total opposite to the classic Type 2. Slim build, very active and sporty, eat a healthy diet. dont smoke, hardly drink etc etc. Yet I still have been dignosed with type two. I personally have feel i inherritted the...

Thanks for the replies, I am generally happy with my Bg levels at the moment. I am now getting far fewer spikes and a lot fewer hypo's aswell. As far as I know not all Type 2s end up on insulin, I think the reason that my consultant thought I would end up on insulin is because I was only just 40...

Its taken a while and a lot of patience but my Hba1c is now 6.5, at its highest it was 8.2 but gradually been coming down over the last year. Hopefully I can maintain this for at least a while with my current regime of lowish GI diet and lots of exercise my current tablets 240mg Glicazide +...

Hi, I am currently on Glicazide 240mg day + 500 SR Metformin, I find generally that bs is fine and no dangers of hypos, just doing my normal everyday things. However thats not to say that I have not had any Hypos since starting on Glicazide. The one thing that I have found is that if you...

Hi Ka-Mon, Like you I have type two and have been experiencing sudden problems, had some blood and urine tests taken last week and to be honest will be releived to get an answer. I have only been getting symptoms for a week but they came on really suddenly and I must be going to the loo about...

Just one more thing. My HbA1c have been. 7.2- 7.8 -8.2- 7.8 Hopefully the next one will be lower but if my BS levels are still like this I doubt it.

Dear Sue and Ken, Thanks for the info just to give you guys a bit more info, I am 41 yrs old and live a very active life, I swim at least three times per week and go for a regular walk. I also have a very busy full time job, as well as many voluntary activities. However lots of these are now...

Hi Sue, Just tested my blood 2hrs post prandial and at 9.6mmol I know thats not really high but am not happy with sugars this high when on such a high dose of Glicazide 240mg. I presume I should be down to pre-meal levels by now of around 7 or less. Will keep on trying, I am not going to let...

Hi, Got home last night feeling really tired after being at my sons swimming gala, had a small snack and went to bed at midnight. Unfortunately had to get up again at 5.45 oh well. Tested blood at 6am all ok at 7.1 had a yogurt and plum as that is all I can stomach at that time in the morning...

Well done Haggis, as an another Orkney diabetic also I am glad that all is going fine, the numbers that you have look like there Pre-diabetic try to keep them down and I am sure you will be just fine. I was diagnoesd in 2009 and my numbers have been all over the place despite diet and exercise...

Hi Folks, Just a quick question, I went to the dentist yesterday for some emergency treatment during the visit I made it clear that I had type two diabetes and also said what drugs I was taking. All seemed fine, I was then administered local anesthetic as per usual for which I have had the same...

I am in the same position as yourself, despite trying to control my BS with diet and tablets 240mg Glicazide my BS is still far to high. This can be really hard work at times, my last HBa1C was 7.8% not great at all. I have tried reducing carbs but just feel even worse however this may well work...
