I actually asked my GP about this as it showed you can get a referral. He agreed it was a good idea and provided me with a code, so I have the first year's membership. I did have issues registering all my details but it was sorted. It depends how much knowledge you have, I thought I had...

Yes, I do agree with that. I am lucky my employer is paying me but I do feel vulnerable and haven't been anywhere since I came home in March. It would be useful for me and others with additional health issues to have guidance, for us and the employer, what category we are in. Does having...

This is an interesting discussion for me. I was sent home from work 17 March. I have T2, chronic asthma and ME. Originally, government said diabetes and asthmatics would be classed as high risk, now they call it clinically vulnerable. Like Tricia said above, how does your "bracket", for want...

I dont think its the code as it appears to register me and recognise me. Its at the saving stage on the About You page, so I havent really put very much in. However, I did have a couple of automated emails, nothing to tell me what is happening. By the end of the week, someone asked about the...

heard nothing yet, not sure what you mean by HO? it was just the contact form on the site. Tried again now and still the same. It does appear to have an error as it wont let me go anywhere apart from the About You page and then sits there apparently saving it. Has anyone got a phone number...

Hi, I posted a while back about getting a code from your GP for this programme. I did hear back from my practice, got the code. All was great until I tried to register, I have only got to the About you page, which I believe is the second and it just sits there and says it is Saving. I have...

I have lost weight by evaluating everything I eat, trying to follow low carb as best possible. I have lost a stone. I take Metformin extended release x 2 daily. By HBA1C has dropped alot and the last test, I was 46 (off top of my head). I havent got a monitor as, like most, I was told they...

Just been reading this. It must be nearly a year since I was diagnosed and feel, like most it seems, like I have done most of the research myself. It hasnt been easy. Have found sticking to one website, this one, helps. Anyway, I have never tested my BGs. I am not aware anyone else has...

Thank you.no further forward, will write to practice manager

YES PLEASE

Yes, I edited my question, but the GP originally referred me to diet doctor, but yes, low carb program

I was diagnosed last year and have done well. I have lost weight but want to continue with that now but it is stubborn. I did notice on the Low Carb Programme (recommended on here and by GP) that if you have a referral via a GP, you can have a free subscription. I have tried unsuccessfully to...

I too have been suffering with diverticulitis, more so I feel since reducing carbs. The husk someone mentioned above, isn't Fybogel from the doc the same thing? If so, I might ask about it as I am over 60

thanks both - wishing you both luck too. I did have, what I now know to be, a diabetic burnout, in the middle so it just shows as long as you (me) are sensible, its all fine.

Just to give an update and hopefully also give encouragement to those who have just started, like me, I was around March time this year. My first HBA1C was 65, my 2nd test is 46. To say I am very pleased is an understatement. Especially as I had reaction to this tablet prescribed, then was...

thank you. eggs and eggs then. vegetarian so no bacon and cant tolerate dairy v well

thank you!

Hi, I am on Metformin ER 1 x twice daily. I take one in the morning and 1 with evening meal. Now, as I found out only by fluke that I should be on 2 a day (long story) do I have to take them spaced out or can I take them both together once a day? GP not particularly interested and my actual...

I am newly diagnosed and was told somewhere, probably the hand out booklet from GP that weetabix or shredded wheat for breakfast. I hate breakfast tbh but as I have to take tablet with food in am, I have forced myself to have weetabix. fortunately I use soya milk and have found stevia...
