I see. Wishing you good luck and recovery....

As I discussed in the other thread I believe i suffered from TIND. From initial symptoms to satisfactory recovery it lasted a little over 6 months. It was very scary and depressing and i am glad things improved significantly

What does your doctor say?

Hi. Thanks. Much better. I haven’t visited this forum for ages now. Sorry. Just got a notification and I came here. My diabetes has been in decent control. 6.0 to 6.5 HbA1C (the mg/l system). The foot drop issue is resolved and i walk normally. Of late, using FitBit i try to get between...

Thanks so much PM... I cannot tell you how incredibly helpful this community has been in helping me not just cope with it but to make this significant progress [emoji1374][emoji1374][emoji1374][emoji1374]

Thanks Ian... am definitely happy with the results especially considering less than a year ago my HbA1C was 11.8%. Now with 6% i am not sure of incremental benefits of lowering further. So it is about maintenance and avoiding falling back to old bad habits. My fasting numbers still not low...

Hi Everyone, So, yesterday I met my doctor who is glad about my sugar control. HbA1C was 6% (which I guess is 42 in the UK system). He is reluctant to cut metformin any lower. My current level is 1000 mg per day (500 mg at breakfast and 500 at dinner). He wants me to stick to that and if...

Thanks @SaskiaKC for the insights. Glad that statin works well for you and is helping. Let’s see what the doctor says.. my meeting is likely Wednesday or Thursday. I just want to keep medication as low as possible for as long as possible... but if it os indeed better to give statins a try, I...

Thanks... i have seen this before but will refresh my memory and go fully armed with ammunition to the doctor in case he suggests statins.... thanks so much for sharing this!!!!! And of course one cannot thank @bulkbiker and others enough to keep members well informed...

I went for my check up this morning. Full report and meeting with doctor will take a few days, but my HbA1c which was at about 105 (11.8% in the other system) around this tine last year is now 42 (6%). Eye doctor said no signs of retinopathy. My LDL cholesterol looks higher than desirable...

6.3 or 6.4....

6.3 this morning... a bit higher than what i was hoping considering last night was 5.5 and dinner was a salad. But dawn phenomenon has to make its presence felt i guess. Anyway after breakfast am down to 5.8. So the machine seems to be working. Full medical check up planned for Saturday...

Here is the twin [emoji23][emoji23]

I would say everyone reacts differently to different drugs. Some on the forum have been on Forxiga for a long time with no trouble. I couldn’t handle it though. First 2-3 months things seemed fine but I had severe hunger,thirst, fatigue issues. Initially I didn’t link these to Forxiga but as...

I have been off the forum for a while. Been trying to be less obsessed with pricking fingers too often, while still checking a few times a week. Last night 6.0 This morning- didn’t check Last night dinner was .. mushrooms grilled with some cheese... and some smoked salmon....
