My hospital consultant advised me to go on Ozempic. It brought my hba1c down from around 90 to pre diabetic at 46 and I lost some weight. The downside was the doom/dread feeling and vomiting randomly (had a lot of time of work too because off feeling unwell) both I couldn’t tolerate. So I...

I have 2 doses of metformin morning and evening and don’t take it with meals.

Would of had the potatoes too.

I might try that if they can’t get a needle clipper!

I don’t want one of them.

I have been told by Boots that they can’t get this anymore, they said they would look for an alternative. Does anybody know of an alternative to a needle clipper? Thanks

I wouldn’t have told them I was diabetic!

I would never do things on my own without a consultant s input. I was advised to split my lantus so I take 14 units in the morning and up to 10 at night. They are not always 12 hours apart as I start work at 7am my dose is at 5am and on days off it’s taken anything up to 11am.

I’m sorry I don’t understand what your cholesterol number is? Mine is 5.6 and they want me to start statins but I’ve ignored that so far. I’m only ever given one figure for cholesterol, I don’t get different numbers.

I eat bananas when they are still green, I don’t like them when they’ve turned yellow as you get all the stringy bits down the banana.

I’ve had a recent blood test and my cholesterol level is 5.6 is that very high. Dr keeps on about statins but I really don’t want to take anymore tablets!

Never heard of diabetic shoes, I’ve heard it all now!

Hi, I’m on this for over a year and haven’t had any side effects from it. I don’t even know what the side effects are.

I wouldn’t have that or a flu jab, there’s just no need for it.

Have you tried taking quinine? I get cramp in my ankles after an 12 1/2 hr shift at work they work for me.

Sorry, can I just ask what a Q Risk is please?

I think it’s very hard not to eat chocolate. I was and probably still am addicted to it. I believe it’s a true addiction. I couldn’t go a day without it, if I didn’t buy any it was constantly on my mind and I had to go to the shop to get some. I still do it but not as much as I used to. I eat...

I had gestational diabetes that went away and was told I could probably get it later in life. Well it came back a few years later for good. I never had any symptoms either. I think I had a couple of uti’s and the dr said I should have a blood test which showed I was diabetic. This was about 30...

If I eat salad which is vary rare I like garlic and herb creamy dressing.
