My recent level WAS 91 mmol/mol compared to six month ago at 45 I view this doubling as quite serious but can't get a GP appointment until the last working day before Christmas and Believe my medication may have to be tweaked as a matter of more urgency! I've been out of control for some time...

I check my sugar every morning, or more often if I've been particularly naughty! Levels have been all over the place through comfort eating during the Pandemic, but now range between 7-10 At a recent Medication Review, it was suggested that I test FAR LESS frequently??? How about you?

After talking to my Diabetes Nurse, about not being able to control my sugar levels, she suggested switching me from Metformin to Glucophage (?) Are they not the same????

I've only got three days left, after the weekend, of radiotherapy for contained Prostate Cancer. Prior to treatment, we have to drink and hold a fair quantity of water (diluted with cordial, to get it down) and I believe this is responsible for increasing my blood sugar to 15+. Since this is...

D Does no one else suffer diabetic ED, or is this chemically enhanced?

Pretty shocked to be diagnosed, although suspected it, owing to symptoms. I was 28 on prick test and only getting first HBA test on Monday. For about the last month, I've had a stinking cold/cough, which just seems to be getting worse. Anything to do with diabetes, or coincidental?
