Hi. The tablet I'm on is Sukkarto SR 1000mg prolonged release tablet so is slow release. I take 2 with my meal at 18:30 each day but will speak to the diabetic nurse for more advise.

Hi and many thanks for your response. I do have a meter and test morning and night but not generally through the day unless I'm feeling unwell. Daytime readings are always pretty constant. I'll check if I'm on slow release and also if I can change the time I take the tablets as this may...

Thank you for the suggestion. I think it's the slow release but I'll check with the diabetic nurse. Thank you once again.

Hi. Thank you for your response and I've tried to talk to both the doctor who said talk to the diabetic nurse, and the diabetic nurse who suggested I talk to the doctor as she couldn't help. Round in circles! So I thought I would ask this community as you seen so knowledgeable and helpful. I...

Hi. I've tested both blood pressure and blood sugar at these times and both are in the normal range for me.

Hi all. New to this forum but wanted to give it a try. I'm type 2 for some time now but I get very angry about it. I'm on medication, no insulin, but have dreadful diarrhea for about 2 hours after I get up. I also have to eat a reasonable meal every 3 hours or I lose my balance. Has anyone...

Me and heat don't do well. Being a menopausal diabetic (T2) I can generate mega heat in the blink of an eye whether I want to or not. If I get too hot my body can go in to anaphylaxic shock so I have various fans around the house and a mobile air con unit which is literally for me a life...

Hi Oldvatr. No warning given but I'm back to see the diabetic nurse on Thursday so will ask some questions then. I'll also do a bit of research before then too. Thank you for the heads up. Appreciated.

Thank you fobbletops, very much for the information. I've been on this for a few days and have already seen a great improvement in my BS readings and have dropped 3lbs in weight in 5 days. No adverse stuff as yet but I know it's early days. Fingers crossed all goes well. Again, thank you...

At times I'm Diabetic, other times diabetic and other times Deny-abetic. Good days, bad days but other stuff stops me doing what I would like to in life, diabetes is just a nasty add-on.

Congratulations to JohnEGreen and to all who have managed to reduce or come completely off of their meds. I've just come off of Gliclazide which has had very little impact on my BS but have started on a tablet called Empagliflozin. My BS has dropped by around a third and I have lost approx 4...

Hi. Jardiance is a diabetes drug which I understand helps with weight management whilst reducing blood sugar levels. I'm hoping to go on to this in the next couple of days as I'm really struggling with my weight due to eating large portions. If I don't eat sufficient portions I get very light...

Hi. I'm just about to start taking Jardiance in an effort to assist with my weight. Can I ask how you found it? Did you have any side effects? Thanks,

Hi. I too have labyrinthitis as well as type 2 diabetes. I ended up seeing a specialist at the local hospital and she gave me some great exercises to help with my balance. I've attached below and if you choose to try these I hope they help as much as they helped me. Try to stay positive as...
