With regards to Fozzy soft drinks - I was informed soda is fine but to avoid Coke. Any other fizzy was on the green list in the leaflet I was given (green is fine to consume). My egfr is down to 5 and I have just had a PD tube inserted (yesterday) ready to start dialysis. But have seen the...

This info is correct. I stick to a strict renal diet - and everything we would usually choose to eat that is good for us normally e.g. Wholegrain/brown can actually be bad for us renal patients. As a renal patient he will need to watch his pottasium and phosphate intake . The NHS can give him...

If u get your bgs u der the best control u can and control blood pressure u might be lucky to avoid it progressing! I was in the 60's for almost 5 years - it wasn't until this year my gfr dropped rapidly. And that was due to them taking me off medication and my bgs being extremely erratic. I'm...

It was just after getting blood results! There are no symptoms in the early stages. Symptoms do come in the later stages tho

Hi there @Bex4728 @himtoo tagged me as I'm in the same boat as u! Hi @himtoo also :) hope u are ok? Not been very active on this for a while to speak to u! Bex, there are 5 stages of kidney damage the fifth being kidney failure. I am currently in stage 4, and I lead a pretty normal life with...

Thanks for the advice everyone

It's coming up with an error message when I try open the link! I was told they do some laser during the operation too. Or can do if needed. I was just worried that the original doc said the op was too risky and to have more laser first. N now they're saying they can't do laser and to have the...

I mentioned it - the guy doing it today was really nice and if it hurt he turned the setting down a notch! However, the bad news is one eye could be done as they wanted. The other - because I've had a large beamorrage I'm it they can't laser it (be did what he could) so he said I will benefit...

I chose to have them both done together - just to get it out the way and over and done with! Rather than being anxious twice over.

Thanks everyone! Just sat waiting now. I've taken some paracetamol so hopefully that will help :)

Hi all, I've had two lots of laser on each eye so far! And been booked in today for urgent laser again. Last time I had it though (both eyes the second time round) really hurt me. Has anyone had more than two lots and did it hurt the more times u had it done?

Hope you're not feeling too bad with it :(

I find I have one arm that for some reason tends to work quicker than anywhere else. Dunno why - but I always use that arm for a correction. Do u change your sites ??

The hospital admission could be what sparked it off. I have been type 1 for 30years - never had a problem going out or having a drink. Until I ended up in hospital from a terrible hypo after a night out. It scared the life out of me. Anyway - after a while I was fine again n thought I can't let...

I have been unconscious twice in 30 years because of hypos. Same as the comment above - u don't actually know that much about it. One of mine I kept drifting in and out of conciousness (I was alone in the house) my phone was ringing and I could hear it as I was coming around but couldn't...

Hi, I was getting some erratic readings for ages. My levemir was incorrect for starters. Plus I never used to carb count religiously - since adjusting my levemir and carb counting everything I have eliminated the erratics a lot. Also, 4.6 is a good reading. But u may be feeling hypo with that...

Thank you. I got in to docs tomorrow so will hopefully get sorted. X

Hope u feel better soon. X

Well my ears have been popping too! I know they're all connected so hoping if it is this the hypo type feeling will go. I just didn't know if it was normal to get that feeling without the hypo for so long. But sounds like it may be my sinus/ears causing me the problems! Thanks for all the advice

I will look in to this. I broke my nose a few years ago and ever since I have suffered with sinus problems. Was unsure if this would cause the odd/hypo/weird feeling. But it appears it could do. Will deffo give this a try though, thank u
