I was really looking forward. To this but failed at final hurdle. I filled the questionaire in but was rejected. Not quite sure why but I do have other health problems and have had a couple of hypos in the last three months

I’m very much like you I’ve only learnt thru keeping a food diary . Unlike most a lot of vegetables are bad for me carrots and tomatoes in particular make me spike . After night fasting on 48 units insulin I’m usually between 6 and 8 . They another 48 units on a morning by bedtime no matter what...

Do they keep on changing the meds so sometimes you get the semiglutide and other times the placebo or are you kept on the same throughout the trial. I did read that the trial could last for 5 years

This is a really interesting thread. I’ve just received the letter and was very dubious and was going to speak to my DN about this and whether it was genuine. But after reading comments I will go ahead with it. I’m 71 and my weight has crept up over the last year due to illness and lack of...

Same here way too high in carbs. I’m really carb sensitive. They do sound really nice tho

I’m not sure if others have these problems but I have 2 nexus meters but I can’t seem to get an accurate reading. they both seem way too high. The other evening when taking a reading I was shocked to see that they were up at 19.5 . Two minutes later I double checked it was 17 the other meter...

Once you filled in the forms it’s fairly quick. The only time mine was held up was because they insisted I had epilepsy and blackouts. It didn’t matter how much myself and the doctor told them it was rubbish but because I’d declared ataxia which can cause me to lose balance when walking. This is...

Greek yoghurt with blueberries , lunch 2 spring rolls and pâté on seeded brown and 2 fruit gums not quite sure what’s for evening. But BG is 6.7 so pleased with that. Might have a nut roast for tonight

How I agree with this. I have constantly been told I eat two few carbs and will suffer muscle wastage . But when I go on the advice of a diabetic dietician who insists I have porridge with double cream on a morning and I tell her that would make me high for most of the day. She basically tells...

I’ve been T2 diabetic for roughly 12 years. Slightly uncontrolled for 10 years as I didn’t realise how serious diabetes really was. I changed everything a couple of years ago when I was told I needed to start insulin alongside my other meds. However just before Christmas I went for my routine...

Sorry for the problems you’re having. I’m T2 but find very few professionals fully understand that diabetes affects each and everyone differently . When I had to see a dietician she kept insisting I had porridge with double cream on a morning. I told her that oats send my BG the roof but was...

Thanks for that I was just puzzled thinking it would show on the nhs app. It makes sense that if your notes are being amended or viewed you know who’s done it

I have 2 Nexus glucoRX meters and nearly got the shock of my life. Ive had a few hypos so I keep one e house and one in my handbag when out to be on the safe side especially when driving. On occasions I get high readings that I can’t think of a reason for having. However I just did my lunchtime...

Ive just posted about this on another thread. I have an Apple Watch which I’m very impressed with but have read that Apple are at least 3 years away from getting a reliable watch for diabetes. So if a big company like Apple can’t manage it yet I wouldn’t trust any others just yet

I recently got into a heated deabate with my gp regarding my Apple Watch which I use for various things and was told not to rely on them. After a lot of research I found that it had been verified as correct and approved by the NHS. I recently have been having tests for a high heart rate and...

I’m probably being very stupid here but how would you know if anyone has looked at your notes. The only access I have to my notes is thru the NHS app but that gives very minimal information. Tho I must admit since looking at this I’ve found out that I have liver and kidney damage which I didn’t...

Thanks for the reply I have since read upon it and it did say it can take a few days after stopping for the steroids to get out of your system then hopefully the sugars should drop.

Ive hovered around here for years so can’t remember if I’ve already filled this in . Which city/area do you live Ossett West Yorkshire - Are you religious? No - Pick three words to describe your personality. Quiet, determined, prone to silliness - Do you have any pets? Did have a lovely At...

For a couple of years now I’ve had recurringing coughs and colds . Literally just getting over one then a new one starts with sore throat, following by a hacking cough. Being especially bad at night needing an inhaler and having to sleep wit for pillows. Long story short I had to see the GP...

I was just about to post this question when I found this. I’m T2 and only been on insulin for 12 months but am averaging 1 hypo a week although I don’t 5hink they are officially classed a hypo. Ive had consistently high BG usually in the mid to high teens for years but now average between 6 and...
