    Waiting on HbA1c result

    Hi Thnks for the rply.. Well the candida has been with me for years (maybe 30) first diagnosed at a dentist in London, when I mentioned to him that I had a sire spot on the tongue that was really painful first thing in the morning, this would come and go without apparent reason.

    On the borderline but struggling with symptoms

    I have been on statins for over 15 years, ever since I had a couple of heart stents fitted, but the thing I dont understand is why is it only now that I seem to have developed this problem...this has been made worse by the fact that I have always been aware of high sugar (although there is...

    Waiting on HbA1c result

    Hi Yes I have atrial fibrillation (20 years) and thats a permanent situation, so I do take Warfarin, A beta blocker(bisoprolol) Ramipril and aspirin as well as a statin (lipitor). Hence a bit of a problem doing much exercise. Not sure if any of these are known issues for sugar control.

    Waiting on HbA1c result

    Hello EllieM Thanks for your input...I appreciate what you say and understand that it is easy to jump to conclusions. But of course as others have said on here, it is really important to seek out the facts from the fiction, hence my tentative steps on here. The one thing I have noticed at...

    hi New here. I am not treated for any diabetes at the moment, but have had a couple of HbA1c tests done over the past 2 years. They came in at 40....So knowing that is just about prediabetes range I bought an Accuchek Copact Plus meter. During the time I used that I was never tested by GP (in...
