Hi. I was diagnosed January 2019 & within 18 months through diet & exercise only was in ‘remission.’ However even now I have spells when I am absolutely physically & mentally exhausted. I have discussed this with mu dr several times with no response on how to improve the situation or identify...

Thanks. I have been trying to follow a lower carb diet. Nothing drastic & shock horror I have the occasional wrap! Where do I find out about ‘trigs low in comparison to my HD’. I asked about diet this morning, didn’t know! But I think I have a grandson older than him! And my diabetic nurse could...

Thank you! My feelings exactly! I was feeling really good about myself till then! When I asked about how I could adjust my Diet they seemed non plussed! I am also a women of a certain age which they both kept reminding me of! I can have a pneumonia jab if I want! ***!

Hi I have a head cold & muffled ear. Asked the in store pharmacist? If Sudafed extra strength would help. On reading the leaflet when I got home , it said no for diabetics, I am type 2 diet controlled & no for high blood pressure which I have but is well under control with medication. Apart...

No you are not over reacting! Coming from the professional point of view: you are being bullied by your line manager, be that head of dept.or headteacher, this is unacceptable. Speak to HR, union rep etc. Off the premises. Can you talk to the head or C of G, or are they the problem???? Have you...

Hi I am t2 under control mostly with diet & exercise . Hubby is demonstrating symptoms which I think he might be too. 2hrs after eating today he was 13.1, other day it was 18. Says he’s very tired light headed could do with losing a couple of stone he is 75

Thank you. I have noticed that my hay fever is bad at the moment which could explain the head. Felt much better today. Even went for a 3 mile walk getting in training , 10k to do in a few weeks for Alzheimer’s. Hope it’s not as hot as today.

Can’t seem to shake this off. Days of extreme fatigue, just want to sleep. Irritable, because I’m tired. Body feels weak. BS is ok for me. Doing everything I should I think. Oh and headaches like a vice on my head

' walked' even!

Just drank a load of water. Now to run upstairs to bed!

Don’t know what I was before tea! I tested because I felt really tired 2 hrs after eating. I ate something else because I read somewhere that was the right thing to do!! It’s like being back at school!

I’m not on any medication. Have had a big drink night try some herbal tea. No way can I go for a walk, would love to be able to, and if I was at my caravan would have no qualms and that’s in the middle of nowhere!

I know today has not been a good day. Not eating on time not watching what I’ve been eating ( been doing really well too) but, circumstances. Anyway after tea 8.1 which is not usual, tested because I felt really tired. Ate some cheese, yogurt,berries. Tested 1hr later. 9.1! What should I have...

That's really good. There is so much written , eat this don't eat this etc. I've cut out all chocolate, used to eat loads, still drink semi skimmed milk, don't like cream. Eat meat, fish + oily fish, eggs, upping my cheese as I thought it was no 'allowed', perhaps 4 slices of seeds bread a week...
