I fell asleep sitting on the lounge and woke up 6 hours later drenched in sweat and feeling very poorly. Took...

    Very new and nervous

    First of all....don't panic. The metformin will keep you out of trouble until you can get a proper review. Keep your carb intake under close control, maintain your fluid levels and keep active. This is a difficult period, so don't let it frighten you. In time this will be a piece of cake to...

    Newly diagnosed

    Don't give up just yet. I have no problem with weight, but suffer with frightful hypertension and spectacular bgl's. Two kinds of insulin and four medications is enough to drive anyone nuts. But don't fear, you have a good team behind you. Welcome to the forum @katie505.

    A special thank you...

    To all those who wished me well in my recent illness...my apologies for the lapse in due care of my illness. It was a stupid and careless act that put me in danger and caused undue discord among those who care for me. I have had time to reflect and access my actions over the last two weeks - I...
