I realise that I am coming to the end of the road and that, with Type 2 for some 20 years (who knows?), very serious Diabetic Neuropathy and Congestive Heart Failure I should not expect much improvement - especially when doctors here say that they are unable to help me - I am still going to...

I suffered from Pancreatitis two weeks ago - took some 10 days to subside. I believe that I pushed my luck with Mild Cheese and my Pancreas objected in the strongest manner. My question - will my blood sugars be unreliable for some time after the condition has normalised please?

On 1st Feb I had the following readings CONSECUTIVELY (at least 4 hours after breakfast) of 171/189/159 mmg/dL (respectively 9.5/10.5/8.8 mmol/L. This was supposed to be my normal pre-lunch test but in view of the 171 reading, which should have been in the 120's, I took the next two tests...

As Johnson and Johnson threw all of those abroad using One Touch Ultra onto the garbage heap by selling their interest in this product without one thought of those of us in S/E Asia - AND as I cannot get my meter repaired or obtain a guaranteed supply of test strips that have not doubled in...

This was the title of my last post - perhaps 10 days ago - I have searched for it here - did anyone see it - or was it removed by Admin? I desperately needed a reply - hopefully someone supplying contact number, email, etc., of the new owners who appear not to know that this is an INTERNATIONAL...

Please help me if they understand what is happening to One Touch Ultra now J and J has been sold. As is usual - they did not have the intelligence to realise what the effects of their GREED has had on people like me by not preparing their overseas customers with ongoing information. I live in...

As a boy during the war years I remember my mother making our porridge with water because milk from the farmers was not readily available then even in most schools. My discussion point is - what do members think - does it taste better with milk (high calcium of course) or just plain water...

Here in Bali - locals with Diabetes are being told by their doctors to stop eating chicken. When questioned they tell me that their doctors tell them that chicken is a high cholesterol-producing food. I have always eaten chicken (re-inforced here on the Forum) without the skin - am I missing...

The circulatory system is affected by Diabetes Type 2 and described as causing 'poor venous return' but most of all with the term Neuropathy. Because I suffer from Congestive Heart Failure and kidney disease - it is SOMETIMES difficult to know what illness is responsible for what ailment. Some...

Having been totally priced out from continuing with my specialist who had been treating me for Diabetes Type 2, Chronic Heart Failure and a Kidney condition - I am now left with 'tree trunk' legs and ankles and only this Forum for advice. Having kept them at bay for a number of years using 1 x...

A few weeks ago, if my memory serves me well, and in response to whether Metformin caused some users to experience severe nocturnal leg cramps; a lady responded by saying, "I take one teaspoonful of Extra Virgin Olive Oil a day since when I have not had a hint of leg cramps" or something along...

Apart from artificial sweeteners - has anyone researched this product and perhaps other 'Zero' drinks please?

I have searched the title but found no information on this doctor's seemingly promising methods for reducing blood sugar levels which concentrates on Insulin Growth Factor (IGF) or Hormone development of the Liver. . He states that the Liver is encouraged through dietary methods to produce an...

How can you justify One Touch Ultra from advertising on this Site? I brought their equipment here seven years ago and have spent a fortune on their very expensive test strips until now. All that time your staff have told me that One Touch Ultra answer emails which I knew not to be true for any...

I am unable to contact 'our leaders' or to ask the Shop for information or, in fact, try to purchase from them. It would appear that they either do not recognize me or accept my password. All of this seems to have occurred since the Site changed its format. Maybe D.c.uk servers will not...

I am at the stage where I am unable to efficiently control my blood sugar levels using just Metformin. I am on 2 x 500mg per day and was told by my specialist to increase 1 x 500mg daily which made no difference except to upset my stomach. As my specialist could not diagnose the difference...

Sometimes I could lose my patience with this Forum. I went to a link 5 minutes ago provided by a member to the above product and, upon, my return, could find no trace of the poster's contribution. If it is of any value to readers I tried to email the company using the email address provided...

Those that have followed my posts on this subject will know that I am a victim of the worst possible leg cramp, i.e., total immobility and on one occasion falling unconscious with the pain. Over eight years ago I was prescribed Quinine Sulphate and, until a few months ago, never had even one...

Many of you will know my posts regarding leg cramp, etc., and that I would have won the Olympics if such an event existed for the most severest type of cramp imaginable - and, on one occasion, causing unconsciousness. Also, you will have observed a tirade from me if any mention of Quininine...

To those self-opinionated intransigent multi-posters here who have, by their very selfish attitudes, have spoilt what was a very good Forum for diabetics. You all know who you are - your are those without gentle consideration for other's and their opinions. You dominate this Forum to such an...
