Oh gosh, sounds awful for you!!! I hope you get your tablets changed. You shouldn’t have to carry on like you are ♥️ xx

Hi all, thank you for all your replies. I did go on this tablet, but I ended up with every symptom it listed I think. Accept for weight loss. The sickness I had was that weird one you get when I have ravenous, so I was eating to try and get rid of it, so yeah I put on half a a stone in 6 weeks...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has been out on these tablets? This is the 3 tablet i am to try, metformin did not agree, nor did one that took sugar away from kidneys. This one has the side effect of Nausea and vomiting - I have an actual phobia of being sick, and am terrified that it’s going to...

No, I was not made aware of this? I didn’t really want to go on it at all, but the nurse said that as I had started going to the gym which has greatly increased my exercise yet it has gone from 5.5 to 6.37 shows that I am failing at lowering it and that I had to go on it to protect my heart -...

Mmm, u could be right about the protein as such. My colestral was high at 6.37 and the nurse said it was where I was eating too much of full fat so I’ve gone back to low fat everything - I try avoid carbs as much as possible but do eat a little carb with my main meal at night and actually this...

I was wondering if anyone else experiences this? I am finding that it seems to be getting worse lately? I am ok up until lunch, but as soon as I have eaten lunch, I find that I am constantly hungry, it’s like something is triggered in my brain that constantly makes me want more food? My last...

Thanks everyone, I think like many have said remission or not, it's a great result, and yes I must keep on doing as I have thus far - and need to look at it as I am holding off those nasty complications as one if you lovely people said [emoji4] Thank you all, love this forum, it's nice for the...

Hi all, I just had my 3 month review, from being diagnosed (it's actually 6 months since first blood test) and my new HB1ac is 42! Am so chuffed as have worked so hard, and have been worrying about having had some blow out days etc over the 3 months and what effect they would have on my...

Thank you everyone for your responses, I have to admit taking the toppings off and leaving the bases never even occurred to me?! Yet now it seems the most logical thing to have done, it would of also given me the chance to have had. A Conversation about how the carbs effect me. And yes as one of...

Pizza used to be one of my most Fav foods - but haven't touched it in 6 months! I feel terrible today but did enjoy it I have to say [emoji6] Got the worst headache this morning though so know I'm running high! I think people just don't get the carb side of it - they think oh you can't eat...

Well, I went to a friends for tea last night and she served 5 different pizzas and pasta followed by treacle tart?! I was starving as saved myself knowing It was going to be a big meal as she tends to cook loads, but never expected all carb meal?! So I had to eat what was there, as I didn't want...

Hi everyone, I have had a week away with my family and have eaten out everyday, have tried to stick to as less amount of carbs as possible, but have found it so hard with everyone eating all my fav foods around me, having puddings (that I haven't eaten in 5 months) to which yesterday I finally...

Hi everyone, I was after a bit of advice, as I am still new to all this?! I am abut confused about what my bloods should be doing after I have eaten? I know I should test before eating and test 2 hours after. But the reading bit is where I am a bit confused??? If I ate and I was 5.7 and after...

My HB was 52, but then I was made to go for a fasting blood test and had to wait 6 more weeks before seeing my GP for a diagnosis- hence how I was able to drop allot of weight and change my lifestyle before my appointment with the GP! It's now been prob about 3 months since my first blood test...

Hi, thank you! I have been feeling so conflicted and upset by my doctors approach towards me, even the point that I don't even want to go back and see him! Considering he was disgnoising me for the firs time and that is such a big deal, his dismissive attitude was appalling! I will stick to my...

Hi, i was diagnosed 6 weeks or so ago, I had already lost 10lb (now lost a stone) and changed my diet hardly any carbs, increased my exercise and gotten my blood levels down to 6.1 first thing in the morning over the day they go down to around 5.1. My doctor still wanted to put me straight onto...
