I had my 2nd scan today so have to wait 3 to 4 weeks for the results, when I was checking my appointment details a Pop up on the page said that from now on scans are going to be every 2 years instead of every year, unless they find a problem, what are your thoughts on this? Personally I think it...

Below is a reply i received from my GP, I had a telephone appointment to discuss multiple hypos, 12 in the last 34 days, I took up the offer from Abbott to trial a Libra freestyle 2, this is the reason I discussed with my GP that it was highlighting hypos, and was backed up by finger prick test...

@scfu22uk I was diagnosed T2 at the end of January this year, my GP asked me to try to reverse it with diet first, I found an app called food on android phone and started to weigh the food i was eating following doing a mydesmond course for diabetes, we were told to try and stick to 90g of carbs...

I'm currently using Libra freestyle 2 which I got free from Abbott to trial, very happy with it, it's highlighted I'm hypo unaware finger prick test backs up the hypo, speaking with my GP on Tuesday to see if this could mean me getting it on prescription, they cost just over £48 and last 14 days...

Hi filly, I love fruit, thing is again with that is i love grapes and it's very hard to stop before the whole pack has been finished, I'm on holiday now for 2 weeks so hopefully I can get back on track, it doesn't help that my job can be stressful at times and that can affect what I want to eat.

Hi Pipp, I try to keep to 90g or less of carbs as that was the figure given to me when I did the Mydesmond course, I do like fish and eat a fair amount, I guess the reason I don't eat much fat is because it raises my calories and also I'm currently under investigation for fatty liver, the...

Hi all, Diagnosed T2 at the end of January GP wanted me to try and reverse it by diet first, i reversed to pre diabetic in 8 weeks and have lost 14kg to date, I've really hit a wall this last 2 weeks and have given in to eating more of the stuff I shouldn't, my BG is mostly between 6.0 to 6.5, i...

I was at work when I had the 95/66 reading, i work in social care so we have a meter there, my wife has high blood pressure so we have a meter at home too.

I had an appointment with my GP today regarding my low blood pressure, i told her that on Monday I had a reading of 95 over 66, she took it and it was 109 over 86, she said it's likely that my body still hasn't adjusted to my 10kg weight loss, on that note she said that my latest sugar levels...

I'm with you on that, i use boots opticians and they are far better than Specsavers.

I did this course a couple of months ago after being diagnosed T2, I found the information good and I'm using it along side an app called food, i think it may only be available on android phones, but using it has helped me lose almost 10kg over 2 months, my Dr wants me to try reversing into...

Hi Kim, I attended a mydesmond course on Thu, it's a course to help those newly diagnosed, they said to have no more than 90g of carbs a day, see if your GP can refer you.

Most of the people on the course were diagnosed from just a few weeks ago to a couple of years, most found out through routine blood tests, 1 found out after a stroke and 1 while in hospital following a seizure . One thing that surprised me was 2 of the people are T2 but on insulin, i thought...

I had a call today from the facilitators of the mydesmond course, they said to take any drinks and snacks i may need as they are not allowed to provide anything, so maybe they have learnt from previous experiences, i work in social care and one of our ladies was diagnosed pre diabetic, we cut...
