    Do you take statins? Do you know why?

    How is your thyroid? They used to use cholesterol going higher as a marker for thyroid levels, you could be hypo. Watched the video of Dr Roy of the Newcastle diet for diabetes, I seem to remember him not being overly enthusiastic a about statins, but who knows?

    Rybelsus Tablets

    I think most pharma products are pretty toxic to be honest hence the upset stomachs etc. I am on rebelsus and they really are not doing what was expected. My sugars are still very high after 3 months and they aren't yet helping me lose weight because if anything I get more hungry. They are...

    Type 2 Cortisol and Stress /Anger

    This is to every sweet person, I cannot control my own cortisol production as my adrenals are defunked and I have to take Prednisolone and hydrocortisone to stay alive but these steroids make my sugars mad and the semiglutide has to fight with them also and aren't working :(

    I have to replace cortisol due to my Addison's disease which is supposed to not elevate anything but it cetainly does. I am now on semiglutide too but that seems to be unable to fight the hormone replacements.

    Covid/Coronavirus and diabetes - the numbers

    Yes it is worrying. Many viruses cause 'post viral fatigue' which often is classed as ME or FM and is not just fatigue. Hope this isn't worse even than those. I have had ME/FM following an aggressive virus for many years now. Prior to diabetes by decades.

    Type 2 Atkins Bars?

    Hi there For the last couple of years I have been not too bad controlling my numbers with a low carb, sometimes keto (I find it hard to get enough fat) diet.

    Simvastatin and Co Enzyme Q10

    Sometimes you have to go out on a limb, I did, I have seen documentation in the past that suggests dangerous depletion of Q10 on statins. Bear in mind people who die of a heart attack while on statins will be documented as just dying of a heart attack, or liver failure, or because of 'high...

    Operation for High Blood Pressure.

    They never seem to look for the root of the problem. Seems like taking the warning bulb out when you have an oil problem on ur car, instead of finding the leak or topping up the actual oil lol Do those breathing machines work? I have been on olmatec now for 4 years but can't afford to buy a...

    Simvastatin and Co Enzyme Q10

    Drug interractions are not the same as contraindications. It says tell your Dr, because often dosage adjustments are needed, or the Dr might think it isn't a good idea in your particular case to take said drug/supplement. So I have to disagree with your comment that it contradicts me. Q10 can...
