Hi David Appetite is reduced, not as much as I thought it would be though. I think that I had unrealistic expectations that I would eat nothing but obviously I have to eat to stay alive haha! I started on 0.6 on Thursday last week, I weighed last night and I’d lost 3lb. It’s totally removed...

Hi, I am moving to Victoza on Thursday so I would also be interested to hear others thoughts on Victoza Good luck with your Victoza journey

I was taking 5 metformin, 1 number 40mg glicalize, and 80mg forxiga. Gliclazide was stopped as HB1AC was 45 in September, since then my forxiga is working harder and produces a unpleasant side effect as a result of working harder. At my next 3 month check my HB1AC went up to 53, I know it’s...

That’s brilliant! Good luck with your journey [emoji4]

Hi Simon Thank you for your advice

Hi I am potentially moving from forxiga to Victoza I was wondering if anyone has any success stories or advice? Many thanks

Thank you all very much

We have booked a holiday to turkey, first time since been diagnosed 2 months ago Can someone help me with a few questions please? Do I need a letter from the doctor? Can I take glicazide & metformin on the plane? Can I take them in to turkey? What do I do with my lancets for security? What...

Haha!!! The husband has been getting the blame for months before the diabetic diagnosis, with him insisting in making it up. Then him realising it was me shaking It can’t be a hypo as I’m usually at least 12 on a morning with my tablets and my diagnosis fasting blood tests were 18 & 17 before...

Hi My husband tells me that I shake in the night sometimes after I’ve just fallen asleep. Sometimes I feel the bed shaking & then I tell the husband off who promptly tells me it’s me shaking the bed It is not a hypo as my sugar is high I’ve mentioned it to the DN but she didn’t seem...

@ringi Seriously!? So how do you know if it’s type 1 or type 2?

I know the puffed wheat contains carbs but it actually doesn’t alter my bs which is why I’ve continued with it (old slimming world habit) Why does the NHS provide such conflicting advice to diabetics...the DN said I needed to avoid bananas, oranges, grapes & strawberries. She said apples...

Thank you for your advice My hb1ac is 107, that was 6 weeks ago at diagnosis The DN says insulin will make me put on a lot of weight and trust me I don’t need any help in that department I am trying really hard to lose weight I am definitely type 2 as they thought I was type 1 at first and...

I am doing low carb, taking 5 metformin & 2 glicazide per day and still my readings are between 10-16 throughout the day. The nurse is saying if there is no significant improvement by next Thursday then it’s going to be insulin injections. So what Im asking is - are there any other options...

My diabetic nurse upped my dosages to 5 metformin per day & 2 glicazide a day. She said if there wasn’t any significant improvement in the next two weeks that we would need to look at other avenues as they won’t prescribe anymore metformin What other non insulin options are there? Is there a...

Yeah they tested & no ketones I don’t know, the nurse & GP can’t seem to agree. GP says type 1 & nurse thinks type 2 so I am awaiting the results but in the meantime they’ve given me metformin & glucozamin for now

Thank you! Yeah low carb usually means high fat but nurse said low fat too. @Mbaker yeah they decided to give me metformin rather than insulin until my test comes back as if they give me insulin it’ll make me fatter apparently and that would make type two worse so rather than do nothing they...

Thank you
