Thank you! I agree. I was in Perindopril 8mg but was changed to Losartan by cardio consultant only because I had abit of a dry cough. Not for any cardio issue. Never had any uti symptoms so will definitely visit GP.

What meds do you take for bp? I know we are all different but does anyone take Losartan? I seem to be getting UTI symptoms but GP says it's good for the kidneys. Any thoughts please.

Hi thanks for yr reply , I will let you know if I am told anything tomorrow when I just have tests but I will have to wait up to 2 weeks to hear from specialist x

How serious is this? Screening says there is a "change". I have stable proliferative retinopathy, glaucoma and dry mac deg.

But my point is I did have it at GP [emoji848]

Confused about this. I have had this at my GP the other day but according to NHS Type 1 are no longer eligible!

Thank you

About 45 mins apparently.

Type 1. ..Has anyone had one of these? As it's deliberately increasing your heart rate as exercise does, how do I judge what to do before I.e. carbs/insulin?.. Can you wear a sensor? I will ask but just wondered if anyone knew. Thanks!

What is the tdeal for a Type 1? I had a 24hr bp monitor and the doctor said being 130 approx in the day and 140 approx from 6pm to 8am (when I take meds)is fine. I also have glaucoma. So I'm worried tbh!

I have been prescribed Prednisolone to help me recover from chest infection. I took them yesterday morning and my blood sugar rocketed to 19 y early evening. My GP said nothing about this happening. I was awake half the night restless and by morning my sugar was normal after correction. No idea...

Can anyone help with this? Which arm do they put the cuff on? Can I even weara sensor? Help! Getting no answers anywhere

Hi, does anyone know if the cuff can be worn on same arm as sensor? Fitting monitor tomorrow. Getting no reply from hospital

Thank you! That has made me feel better [emoji4]

Thank you. I have always been in range with this so was panicky, especially after 44 yrs diabetic but calmer now.

Thank you! Yes they have asked for a repeat. Don't know how long to wait though?

Hi, a urine test has just shown my albunin/creatinine ratio as 3.16, should be less than 3. Anyone had this borderline figure? What treatment did you have. Can it be caused by a UTI? Does it mean kidney failure?

Thanks. I suppose if you don't want to Bluetooth then the 5 is fine?
