Hi looking for some advice from anyone who has first hand experience of gum disease. I've had type2 diabetes for approximately 8-10 years now, previously I'd got my numbers under control, but due to many factors my numbers have skyrocketed, and my ingestion of sugar has been ridiculous...

I don't count carbs, I have tried several times to eat low carb but I find it impossible and generally miserable but I do watch my diet, thanks

I don't count carbs but I am watching my diet, I've slowly lost over 3 stone in the last 2 years, I've been diabetic for over 4 years and my medication was last changed a year ago, thanks

Thanks for the advice [emoji4]

I currently take 4 x 500mg of metformin and 2 x 80 of gliclazide. I have just had my HbA1c done & had a phone call from my gp receptionist who has booked me a phone consultation to discuss my results. I know that my diabetes is not well managed and I'm sure my results will be high, could...

Thank you, I think I've worked out my average mmol/l being 15 will make my HbA1c at 95? Thanks for your help

I tried to convert on the website but it doesn't seem to be working? Can anyone help, if my average mmol/l is 16, what would my HbA1c be at? I've got my diabetic review on Monday, just wanted to have a rough idea before I go Thanks in advance, Louise

I suffer badly with anxiety and find phoning extremely difficult, of course I will as soon as I'm able but just wondered if anyone could throw some light on it to prevent me worrying more and causing more anxiety?

I'm 37 years old, I've had type 2 diabetes for about 4 years, over the last few weeks I've had 4 falls, I've not been dizzy, I've just been walking, not tripped etc and have just fell forward and hit the ground, I've not had any bad injuries thankfully but I have hurt myself and dont know why...

I'm sorry I dont think I made myself clear, along with the medication I'm trying to control my blood sugars with diet, sometimes I do well, and sometimes I dont. I suffer with chronic pain, anxiety and depression, I'm over due my diabetes review and I was just wondering if there is another...

I currently take 4x500mg of metformin daily and 40mg of gliclazide daily, unfortunately this isn't controlling my sugar levels, could anyone tell me what medication I'm likely to be put on next? Tia

Wow that's amazing, your definitely a great example of what can be done! I've played around with low carb for months but have failed at every hurdle, my carb addiction is very real! Thank you for your advice, enjoy your tennis [emoji4]

I'll mention that to my gp when I go, it's still not improving so I can't put it off any longer, thanks for your advice

Will do! Thanks very much [emoji4]

All advice at any time is welcome! I'll definitely give it a go, it can't hurt can it & I'll as gp about vitamin D aswell, thank you [emoji4]

I'm exactly the same & on co-codamol for scatica too but it doesn't touch new pain (now for obvious reasons lol) thanks again [emoji4]

Thank you, I think I'm going to have to as the pain isn't leaving, the only way I can describe it is having hundreds of fire ants crawling over (mostly) the soles of my feet & periodically shooting pains up my big toes, it's so sore to even stand [emoji26] I thought I was OK because I was told...

So sorry I didn't notice your reply, my feet have no cuts, grazes, broken skin or blisters, however I have started getting a feeling of hot pins & needles & tenderness & a lot of pain when standing, not sure what I can do for it? Tia

I suffer from depression and the last couple of months have been difficult. I've ignored my diet & diabetes and not checked my numbers. I'm now trying to get them back under control, my fasting numbers this morning were 15.9 but 2 hours later my numbers had rose to 19.5 without eating or...

Thanks, I might just give my doctor a miss then, hope yours get better soon
