I'm not sure how other companies work but for me, because it is an ongoing medical issue, I just take the time and still get paid for it. I do try and make appointments as late in the day as possible to avoid too much disruption at work. I think speaking to your boss is probably the first port...

I most definitely have 100lbs to loose! When I was diagnosed with Type 2 in October last year I was just under 24st which is the heaviest I have ever been (I have been overweight for most of my adult life). I hit my 2st loss mark at the end of March but I've been stuck there, or thereabouts...

More a curiosity than anything... My hayfever has kicked off big time over the last couple of days and for anyone who has it you know just how horrible it can be. I spoke to the chemist in Boots who said that they are expecting it to be a pretty bad year this year. What joy! I was just...

I was diagonosed with Type 2 in October last year and aside from Metformin the big part of my treatment is to loose weight. I've been overweight for most of my adult life and have gone through various weight loss attempts. I have been doing really well, loosing anything between 1 - 4lbs a...

I'm very surprised the doctor told you that. If you use Orlistat correctly you can actually loose quite bit of weight. I was on it for about 8 months once and lost over 3 stone. The thing with Orlistat is that you have to be really careful about how much fat you eat per meal. If I remember...

Funnily enough I was wondering about taking Sudafed. Good to know, thank you! I was getting to the stage where I was going to do the whole bowl of hot water thing with some Olbas oil! Thankfully the congestion has pretty much cleared up now, just left with a nasty cough and a headache. Not...

Thanks, Viv. That was my thought - it isn't going to kill me! And like you say my BG is probably all over the place anyway right now. :)

I'm just after some general advice really as this is the first time I've had a cold since I was diagnosed a couple of months ago... I'm Type 2 on Metformin SR and Lisprinol for my blood pressure. Basically, what can you/can't you take to aleviate sore throat, blocked nose, cough, headache etc...

LOL! Thank you! And thank you for the welcome :) Thanks! I wasn't expecting to have lost that much so I was pretty impressed with myself. Thank you for the welcome and all the info. I'm slowly making my way around and will no doubt start asking some questions soon.

Hey hey! I just filled in the questionnaire but thought I'd introduce myself properly. I'm Sarah, a 35 year old Yorkshire lass living on the wrong side of the Pennines! *waves at everyone* I was diagnosed with Type 2 just over 2 weeks ago now. I have to be honest, it wasn't a massive...
