Hi I've had an elective procedure delayed as my hba1c is too high for it, apparently. The most recent one was 83. It has to be 69 or less for the procedure. I've been offered either gliclazide or insulin to try and get a handle on it, but I'm not sure which to go for. I'm overweight and a...

Hi. What did you end up on? I couldn't tolerate metformin at all so they put me on sitagliptin and then added in dapagliflozin. They told me to drink a lot with it as it makes you pee out the sugar! When my hba1c wasn't coming down sufficiently she put me on trulicity which I don't seem to have...

Hi. For those of you that are on this how do you keep it cool when you're travelling? Frio has been mentioned but not sure if they would work with it

I'm on trulicity would they fit do you think?

What do you use to keep your insulin cool when travelling? I'm not on insulin but do have an injection that's kept in the fridge so wondering what is best to do?

The Asda near here charges £46 for them without VAT. I had a private prescription from my GP and paid £42 for each one. I rang them this morning (rung round a few places over the last couple of days) and they were the cheapest and they said they had loads in stock. When I got there someone was...

I bought mine directly from the company online. The starter pack was the reader and 2 sensors for £160. I've just had the GP do me a private prescription for them (I don't qualify under the nhs rules) and Asda has said £42 for each sensor but they sell them at just over £46. Boots near here no...

Do any of you get really tired with Trulicity? It's been getting to about 5pm and I'm exhausted

Hi. I've just been started on Trulicity this week. Having bouts of nausea but nothing like I had with Metformin! How long did it take for the nausea to go off? In terms of travelling do you have any problems travelling with the needles etc?

Hi. Metformin didn't agree with me either. On the normal ones I felt constantly sick and the slow release ones I couldn't keep off the toilet going about 15 times a day!! I went back to the gp surgery and said I couldn't cope with it anymore. I'd given it nearly 6 months and it was getting worse...

Thanks for replying. My Hba1c was 84. They've said go up to 2 next week for that reason on the Metformin but haven't said anywhere how many a day to go up to! She said about loosing weight but as my BMI is above 40 she couldn't offer me WW or slimming world and my only option is a dietitian at...

Hi. Recently diagnosed with type 2. I've been to see the diabetic nurse at the gp practice this morning and given virtually no information at all. She didn't go through anything with me. Gave me 2 booklets and told me to read them. Increase Metformin but not told me over how long or to how many...
