Hi all. Been put on Metformin slow release but doc says 1 dose of 500mg is enough and I don’t need to go higher. I’m not convinced. I thought it’s the same dose of 1000mg in the morning and same in the evening. I want it to take my appetite away. Anyone help??

Very stressed at the moment. No interest in work, anything. Not eating well at all. I have to kids, 11 and 8 and husband who keeps buying sweet things. I can’t be bothered to exercise and before anyone asks, no I won’t see the doctor as I already am on meds for anxiety and have had to private...

Hi All. Another question. Since the nurse told me I could very well be T1 actually. (Maybe maybe not.) I have been thinking about it. Are there tests to determine either way? Or do I just have to wait in case my numbers start going up? Not really overly concerned but just a general question.

So first day of Ramadan and I woke up at 3:30 and had some berries, greek yogurt and some nuts plus 3 glasses of water. I have a headache a feel a tiny bit dizzy but will monitor that. I bought a new meter. The same one as @Rachox it is reading much lower than my code free. I have just...

Hi All. Quick question. I have seen other threads but wanted to know what is the best meter to buy for accuracy? I don't want anything too expensive to run but something better than the one I have.

So had my appointment at the clinic today and saw a really lovely nurse (for once!) She went through my results and was literally picking her jaw from the floor! She couldn't believe I have gone from 123 to 42 in 8 months! I have lost over 4 stone in that time also! She really cheered me up!:)...

Hello all. I had my results today from my second test. Last august I was 123. I had one at 3 months and was 50. Today I am 42. Quite pleased but my meter has been reading consistently in the 5s so a little confused. (I know they can be inaccurate) or am I being a little hard on myself?

Anybody know of any mint or orange chocolate suitable?

Hi all. Decided to stop the metformin as I can no longer tolerate the side effects. I'm a little apprehensive as I stopped taking them property a couple of weeks ago and my BGs were up slightly but I had a nasty cold and I think a slight sinus infection which had gone now. Am I right in...

Well I went for my diabetic review and have come out of it safe in the knowledge that the diabetes nurses at my surgery are to be frank expendable. She took my blood pressure, (fair enough.) she prodded my feet with a small piece of plastic and told me if she had a gold star I could have one...

Hello all. Okay so I got my 3 months results today from The surgery. 120 at diagnosis (thought it was 112.) It's now 50. Is that good?

Hello all. Struggling a bit. Off food. Don't eat much but should as my Colitis doesn't like it. But I am sick of eggs, extra v olive oil etc. Any inspiration for the Major?

Hello all. I am fairly new to all this but just got my meter a few days ago and my readings upon waking up and testing before and 2 hours after have been ranging from 6.1 to 6.3. No higher. Thats a good start right? I was diagnosed 3 months ago with a blood result of 112. (Still don't really...

Anyone have a low carb biscuit recipe??? Lemon preferably. But I suppose any flavour would do!

Hello All. I'm new to diabetes. (Diagnosed 2.5 months ago. After seeing the nurse I changed my diet the next day and all my symptoms disappeared (thirst, frequent peeing.) So I am pleased that stopped! Was a nightmare. I know how to diet successfully and have lost over a stone, maybe 2. My...
