hey ronnie, i was a medical mystery (still am :lol: ) when i started with the old necrobiosis. i was treated for eczema, psoriasis n something else i cant remember. then i had a biopsy and was told iam rare (?!?) and theres no cure and could every surgeon in west yorks come n have a prod at my...

that sounds a bit like my GP. i really honestly dont think they have a clue. 10 yrs ago i developed necrobiosis lipoidica and was told by the skin specialist that i should be tested for diabetes. the doc refused and it wasnt until i sprained my foot 5yrs ago that i was tested and diagnosed. they...

pheonix, ill have a go with that calculater when i get my bha1c results on friday. thanks

:lol: yeh. but ill tell you something, ive learnt more from coming on here and reading peoples posts than what the docs have told me. i never even knew about low carbing, and my docs not happy about me doing that. even my nurse said, in a rather sarcastic way, "oh well you might be able to...

thanks rrb. i guess its just another obstacle to overcome eh? :lol: i reckon ill adopt your accronym. sod the docs. wendle x

hi anti_carb, im possibly mody. my gp and consultant suspect i am. but here the plot thickens... i was sent to the hospital in bradford that deals with mody and they do the testing. but, when i got there (waited an hour in a boiling hot waiting room to see an old bag of a doc) they refused to...

mmm.... bacon n eggs. love it. i dont worry about the calorie content. id just forfeit the bread n slap another rasher on my plate :D

my tefal non-stick wok and my sabatier knifes are my fav things. oooh and my red and silver weighing scales.i dont have a bread maker or a slow cooker. i like cooking on my hob and using the oven.

well i had to argue with my nurse last friday and demand the hba1c test i shouldve had in may. she said i wasnt due until dec but im supposed to get tested every 3 months. im still peeved about it although i did get the test done after she'd double checked my notes.

i may try that hanadr. its worth a go. thanks wendle x

hi andy, im no expert but when i was on metformin 850mg 3 x daily, it harldy touched my sugars. the doc put me on gliclazide. but i honestly believe that my sugars would still be high if i hadnt reigned in my eating habits. i watch my carbs now.whats your diet like? wendle x

iv had this for the best part of 10yrs. my docs seemed to be at a loss as to what to do with me. i was referred to a skin specialist who did a biopsy and confirmed it was necrobiosis. it started on my left leg as a tiny red lump and then it grew. about 6 months later it appeared on my right leg...

i hadnt read these posts before today but i wish i had. it wouldve stopped a few headaches. ok so im a bit podgy, but diabetes seems to run in my family (im type 2, sis has syndrome x, dads type 2, gran was type 1, grandad was type 2) and i really believe it can be down to genetics. my doc...

Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn 9.3 at 8.30am (blaming the beer i was drinking yesterday). 2 hours after brekkers - 6.7

good luck with the new job! im a low carber now too and i honestly dont have any bother nowadays in the bowel department. i reckon mine was due to eating junk, too much processed rubbish. if i were you though id be giving the docs a hard time. but my docs are pants anyway. :lol: on friday i...

hey kev, just been reading your post and that sounds rather nasty for you. i was on metformin and it always gave me the squits, especially after id eaten anything high in fat. im now on gliclazide 40mg once a day and im fine with that. its not slow release tho. when i was first put on it, the...
