Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn 5.1 this morning, seems to be around that mark 99% of the time :)

As a relatively newcomer to the forum, I appreciate any advice on what could happen to me if I do not control my diabetes. I fail to see what the problem is with members posting warnings about this. As a first aider for 40yrs and a prison officer for 25yrs I have seen so many examples of where...

Sad to see you go over what could be deemed undue moderation. I moderate on two Forums and myself and and the other moderators on them adopt an attitude that we only delete posts as a last resort and not as a norm, I don't think I have deleted more that 5 posts on either forum in the 3+years...

My diet is based on what I need to eat to lose weight and the bonus is that it has reduced my BG's and Cholesterol so it is a win win situation for me. I eat bread (Low GI), a biscuit now and then, I have Crispbreads every lunchtime and even have the odd Chinese meal as well. I know what spikes...

Diagnosed 7yrs ago and after 6 months my Nurse Practitioner actually asked me if I had any problems, I told her that although I had no major problems achieving an erection I had some problems maintaining it for very long. She gave me a prescription for Viagra (4 per month) and added it to my...

I am a Mod on 2 different forums and agree that it is a thankless task at times, unfortunately there seems to be 'people' who are more than happy to 'troll' and abuse those who keep forums running. If they are not 'trolling' the mods then they are picking on forum members who are doing nothing...

Just followed the link to Myrios and they don't appear to have a HBA1c test shown on there now.

Has anybody ever managed to obtain one of the 2 use kits and if so how good (accurate) are they. Just fancy doing a test after 3 months to keep an eye on how I am doing :crazy:

My HbA1c was 7.5 in March and is now down to 5.5 at my latest review this month. I have lost 2 stones in weight and have reduced my BP and Cholesterol as well. My diabetes nurse is also a Nurse Practitioner and is debating my Metformin dose at the next review if my HbA1c stays the same or...

Had my jab yesterday and had no problems at all. Have been having it since I was diagnosed and have never had any side effects, don't even feel the needle.

Never a truer word spoken, sometimes it isn't even a tupperware box we are looking for, often something the size of a Test Strip container. Great fun is had by all 8)

And to top it all she has agreed to start 'officially' reducing my medication. I have un-officially done without the one she has dropped today for 10 weeks and still obtained that result, she has also reduced my BP medication as well (BP down to an average of 110/75) All I have done is reduce...
