Oh, I’m near Skipton - didn’t know these meetings existed!

Just wondered if anyone tried this? I’ve been using it for about five months now and hoping it will help.

I was diagnosed with one a couple of years ago. My arm is still quite weak after it, bra straps are painful and I can’t have anyone rest their head on my shoulder. Mine was as a result of a rotator cuff injury when my shoulder was yanked during a medical procedure. The physio at the surgery...

Well I started the slow release ones and I’m getting dreadful bloating. Really quite uncomfortable. Only three days in though.

I stopped taking Metformin a few months back as it bunged me up and I realised it was a different brand. Maintained my HBA1C of 48 despite not taking them, I low carb but not religiously. Bloomin nurse wants me back on them, but the low release ones. Says there’s cardiovascular protection...

I’ve not had a problem with it, on just one a day - but I’m also taking cocodamol so I think that cancels out any effects!!

My HBA1C at Christmas was unexpectedly high and I suspect that was something to do with a bout of insomnia I had for the few months before.

I use lactose free in tea. Does the job for me.

Well done to you and your students! I used to teach Btecs so knew the results but results day was still always nerve wracking!!

Brilliant! Well done to Disney! And am envious of the cruise!!

I eat low carb, but still need just the one Metformin to keep my levels down.

No symptoms here. I have an annual test as I had Gestational Diabetes.

I didn’t have any symptoms and certainly not increased thirst. My brother’s undergoing a raft of tests as he has a horrendous thirst, but Diabetes has been ruled out.

I love a Lo Dough pizza! I also occasionally buy not cross buns and bread rolls from www.seriouslylowcarb.com. And now I’ve typed that I’m going to crave those not cross buns till I buy some, sigh …

My GP suggests that I might have this, but I haven’t pursued a diagnosis.

Not had a problem with my one Metformin a day other than it gave me ridiculously loud farts of an evening!! That seems to have stopped now though thankfully!!

@carty - I’m not too far from Pendle Hill!!

@NicoleC1971 your post resonates. I have been, and remain, under an enormous amount of stress with my work. During lockdown I developed insomnia and as I’ve managed to sort that out my msk issues have significantly worsened and are now waking me up multiple times through the night. I walk a lot...

Thanks for replying. Breakfast is usually low carb toast or Greek yoghurt, pecans and cinnamon. Lunch is cucumber with a combo of ham/tuna/chicken/egg/cheese and I sometimes make cheese scones with almond flour and have one of those. Tonight's tea is fairly typical, tuna steak, mashed celeriac...

My hba1c has come back at 50. Am eating no differently than I was when I was at pre-d levels (low carb). They're going to offer me meds aren't they? Really not sure where to go from here.
