I am currently on diet control only like you but I just thought I would tell you my mum was diagnosed in 1995 and by 2000 she was on tablets then in 2006 she went on insulin.

I personally don't think you are, you are just taking care of yourself so you don't have any complications. Non diabetics don't understand. My own sister is like that - she still thinks we can eat lots of sugar.

Hi I was diagnosed with both hypothyroidism and diabetes at the same GP appointment in March 2010. My TSH was 14.9. Levothyroxine has been very good for me and have been taking it for just over 3 years now and I feel fantastic now. I didn't have any other thyroid tests I was just put...

Thank you for your reply. Yes I am going to have to do something because I can't live like this. It's a good job they have a lot of medication out there for high BP.

I have been put on BP medication in February 2013. I am on Ramipril 10 mg and Amlodipine 10 mg. The problem I have now is the 3rd one he has put me on. Frusemide 20 mg, it makes me feel so dizzy and really weak. I can only take it for 3 days. It was the same with Indapamide dizzy spells the...

Hi Polly, You really should go and see your GP if you suspect you have diabetes. 2.8 after your breakfast? I don't know but that seems too low to me. My GP has told me to take my level one day before breakfast, miss a day, before lunch, miss a day, before tea, miss a day, before bed. I...

Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with diabetes on 1 March after 2 fasting glucose levels of 9.5. My doctor told me to take them one day before breakfast, miss a day, before lunch, miss a day, before tea, miss a day, before bed then back to the beginning. I have been testing them before breakfast...

Hi Enzina I am sorry you had a bad time with your diabetic nurse, doesn't give you much confidence to go in the future! My GP wants me to test my sugar levels so I can find out which foods affect my readings. He told me I will get them on free prescriptions and even sent me to the nurse for...

I can't remember what yoghurt it was but my dad's sugar went up to 17! Thanks for saying about the special k because I was going to try that. I am trying to think what breakfast cereals I can now eat. I like bran flakes, weetabix things like that.

You are not moaning, you are just worrying and need advice. I just got diagnosed on Monday with both underactive thyroid and diabetes but I am lucky because both my mum and dad have diabetes so I know the basics. I got a glucose meter off my GP, he has said to test before breakfast one day...

Hi I think your practice nurse could have been a bit more nicer to you. Those blood sugars do sound normal. If I were you I would make an appointment to see your GP and have some blood tests done, that way you will get peace of mind. Good luck

Thank you for your advice. I find out on Monday for sure.

Hi everyone, I went to my doctors and asked him for a thyroid function test because of my family history and he said I will test you for diabetes too because diabetes can make you feel tired all the time so I went for the results and he said I would like to do the tests again because your...
