Hi all, I am not diabetic but am a member of this forum due to previous research I have done for my University dissertations. If you wouldn’t mind, I could really use some help finding vegetarian dishes that are safe for type 2 diabetics - I’m preferably thinking a pie or something like that...

Thank you! And thanks so so much for taking part :)

Thank you!!

Hi All, I am still in need of a few more volunteers to take part in my study. Please get in touch with me if you would be interested in taking part. I would really appreciate any time and help anyone has to offer. Thank you, Beth

Hi All, A few of you may know me from previous discussion posts asking about type 2 diabetes in relation to medication and lactic acidosis, but I also have an interest in how type 2 diabetes is represented in the media. As I am now studying a postgraduate degree in Global Media and Culture at...

Very true, thank you! I'll mark a reminder in my phone!

Oh this is great, thanks so much! I'll definitely keep my eye out for the one in September then, sounds like the one last year was a success! It was just general info really - I don't think you can ever stop learning with this disease so I want to get involved as much as possible! Thanks so...

Very true, thank you!

Ooh this is great, thank you so much! I'll defo keep my eye out for those events. Great to see that you're getting the airtime promoting the programmes to help people!

I don't know how I didn't know that! Thank you so much!

Ha this is very true! Exactly why I much prefer asking people on here for answers to my diabetic questions! I always massively appreciate how much you guys reach out. Maybe we should start our own events and or conferences! It'd be much more valuable than the text book stuff.

Happy new year all!! I was just wondering if anyone knew of any specific diabetic events taking place across the year that would be worth adding to my planner. I’m a student, so I’m thinking anything like conferences or talks etc. Or even other things targeted at diabetics. I know there’s one...

This would make sense! Do you mean in one hit though, so like an alcoholic binge, or do you mean consuming this amount on a regular basis, like over the course of a week? I have seen on the meds leaflet that alcohol is a no go!

I did think that Metformin alone could be enough, but i've had people telling me otherwise Were you on Met for a while before the LA happened or was it pretty quick to kick in? Again, please don't answer if i'm crossing a personal line, I am only asking to do my research cause i have extreme...

Hi Andcol, I've seen on a few threads from people tagged you in them that you experienced lactic acidosis! I have heard thought that LA is usually only caused when there is an additional underlying problem... be this kidney failure or dehydration etc. Was this the case for you (if you don't mind...

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone would mind sharing with me any experiences of Lactic Acidosis? I appreciate that it is incredibly rare, but unfortunately, the statistics do exist. If you have had it, was a cause determined? I am asking as I believe that a family member may have suffered...

This is one of my concerns Carol, that if it isn't already, surely weight should be taken into account. Surely a smaller body cannot tolerate as much of the drug? Likewise surely a larger body could tolerate more. I am by no means a scientist or doctor though, so I am open to being told otherwise!

Ignore my previous reply Ringi, I've just spotted your other post explaining the ACCORD study (still figuring out how to use this site haha!). Thanks so much for the info, it's really appreciated!

Yes, really helpful. Thank you so much!
