Hello All - A Very Happy New Year to one and all! Haven't been on here for a while. Possibly because I've been trying to forget I've got T2 and shoved my head up my butt....anyway, medication is 80mg Gliclazide twice daily and 400mg x 3 Gabapentin for Neuropathy which hasn't changed since first...

Hello and welcome. I am pretty much the same as you if I eat any carbs at all then my BS levels go sky high so I'm concentrating on eating low carbs so going more down the bacon/lean meat route. That in turn gives me problems as then I'm constipated so I too am struggling with my diet :( I also...

Me too - BIG HUG ! Since being diagnosed Type 2 I feel thoroughly overwhelmed with just about everything. Everything is stressful and I think trying to sleep it off might help - it doesnt - just magnifies it. I too am going through the menopause and any aches pains etc are exacerbated. My right...

Thanks for your input. Will do! Seems you get better advice on here than at the ruddy Dr's. The reading was in American Speak - sorted out my monitor now. Interestingly I have been on rabbit food and lean meat salads since diagnosis - and had pretty high BS however, I thought enough is enough...

Just been diagnosed (Friday) and am on Gliclazide 80mg morning and evening. Apart from the feeling that I am a bit spaced out - not too bad really. Sorted out my Easylife blood glucose and taking bloods this morning it was 4.5 - so dont suppose thats too bad. However, I do have a cold feeling...

Thank you very much. Will check

Hello Everyone !! I am so glad I found this site. Newly diagnosed on Friday - unexplained weight loss (thought it was my cutting down on goodies) high blood pressure then had blood test and was hauled into the Dr's. Should have known really. My mothers side of the family all have it - me - I...
