Hormones? Hormone changes can do that? I am "of a certain age" Allrighty then, time to step it up a notch and make even more changes. Could be fun

Adore cake art, but hate cake I'll get this sorted, I think, just get annoyed as I feel I can't possibly do any more to help myself. Excellent diet and pretty active. But I might take your advice and check out something totally new for me

I have a sampler because I hate cake, with a passion. I'm glad you haven't noticed a change. Maybe I'm grasping at straws working out every little change so I can help myself. Cheers for replying, maybe it's the same for me. Hopefully. Or maybe a dust mask

I have a low carb vegetarian diet and my HBA1c has not been doing so good. Needing to check everything so I can help myself

You know, I didn't even think of that (if the was a facepalm emoji, I'd be using it about now) Thank you

Hi all, I bake cakes, I don't eat cake, but I bake a lot. Powdered sugar or icing sugar is a big part of what I use. Can inadvertently breathing in the icing sugar dust that floats about when baking have an impact in blood sugar levels? I know this might sound like a ridiculous question, but I...

I hope you find what you're looking for. Since taking glicazides I have put on so much weight. I'm on the verge of quitting struggling with my increased exercise regime and stricked diet. Good luck :-)

I grew up with IFG, which I don't suppose was much of a problem for me, I was told regularly that I'd be "diabetic soon". 30 years later, I finally succumbed to what so many young and older members of my family succumbed to - T2 diabetes. Because I knew when I was just 15 that this might...

I've noticed my own "new smell" ... And I'm not happy about it. I'm constantly worried that others might smell me. It matters not what sprays I use. Sent from my B3-A20 using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

I haven't read all the replies here, but I've been told quite the opposite. I'm T2 and my nurse gave me my monitor (even though i already had one i purchased myself) and told me I, at the very least, must check before driving and during driving. I don't drive for a living, but my children...

Good morning all, I just thought I'd give a bit of an update regarding my weight gain on gliclazide over the last few years. I've been off them for a few weeks now and, even though my life has suddenly become busy and I haven't been able to participate in my daily fitness regime almost for a...

Oooh I'm 6.1 this morning :-) Sent from my B3-A20 using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

Thank you :-) I've spoken to the Dr and nurse, and they all agree on getting me off the glics in favour of replacing it with a new one soon. I never knew insulin was a fat strong hormone! In my ignorance, I just thought it was all to do with glucose ... I'm a little slow I think I think half...

Hi all, I hope you've all had a good weekend X I'm just wondering if anyone else has had a problem with weight gain whilst taking gliclazide? I've been taking it for four years (maybe three, I'm not exactly sure) and in that time, with my 10mile a day cycle ride five days a week, good eating...

Hey peeps, thanks so much for the warm welcome. I'm only sorry my first post was a bit of a down. Having read these messages, I find that maybe days like these are normal. Today, I ate sweets for the first time in I don't know how long, I also ate fries / chips for the first time in months, and...

Hi all. I've done everything I possibly can to reverse my T2, even though it is and has been rife in my family for three generations. G/Mother, father, siblings ... It is normal to wake up and wish you wern't like this and angry with yourself because most of the society you live in think you...

Wow, thanks for this. I've been strict on the carbs for years. Since Dr said I'm IFG. The clinic has checked my diet and have said there's nothing I need to change. Just getting a bit frustrated now ... Still 7+ by Dr's test :(

I was diagnosed T2 almost 2 years ago after many years of IFG ... Ive always been active and eat well. Since last August, I've lost 4 stone. But theres no change in my blood results. I recon I have another stone to spare ... Why wont this change? Even now I still cycle 50 miles a week, climb...
