Thanks, the Diabetic nurse referred me today. My hba1c has increased as has my weight - gain appears to be connected to being peri-menopausal. Not sure how I stop that. I eat healthily & exercise a real lot. When I get details on the course I will post details. Thanks

Has anyone heard of a new Course (night just be in Scotland) with Connect in the title - it’s around advice on losing weight. Thanks for any help.

Thanks All [emoji1303][emoji3]

Sometimes high blood pressure is white coat syndrome - fear of medics. When I attended the diabetic clinic it was high when the nurse took it but 45 mins later when the Consultant took it - it was fine :-)

Hi, I got a prescription from NHS Diabetes Doctor in Scotland but Boots Chemist say its a Private one even though it has my NHS GP name on. Prescription cones to £31 (gulp). Waiting for a call back from GP but is this right that these are not available on NHS like the drug I am taking. In...
