Oh my goodness I have them too. All over my lower legs. Jawline and lower arms. If you do find out what they are please let me know. They take ages to heal and can be quite sore!!!!! I’ve never seen anyone who has them x

Thankyou for your replies. [emoji4]

I hope it comes back soon because I miss it greatly x

I also have no other symptoms. Although I know this may not always be the case. Maybe I should have the antibody test? To rule out I may have had it. I read on the government website that you need the test within the first five days. (Which I did) x

Is the other smell you smell, kind of a faint (excuse the bluntness) fart smell?? And a bit chlorine like x

I had it done by them. But that said it’s been 2 weeks now so if it were coronavirus positive then my next question is, how long before it comes back. It happened suddenly and I’ve tried most things now to help treat sinus issues etc. Nothing has helped x

Thanks for your reply. Much nicely put than previous posters. [emoji4]

I am wanting to know if anyone had experienced loss of smell and taste that they noticed when they discovered they had diabetes..........before all this began with the bloody coronavirus. And everything revolved around it!!!

I have. [emoji1303]

Obviously I know this can be a sign of coronavirus, but I’m asking on here anyway. I have been tested for it but for about 2 weeks now I have completely lost my sense of smell and in turn my food is now tasteless. I have always had a very sensitive nose (I could smell anything across two fields...

It is, and I’ve been awake for most of it hahahaha. But seriously,having an appointment set in the near future is better than none at all. It’s a positive step in the right direction. I’m hoping when I get my bgs in a better range I will have longer periods of sleep and form a routine. I think...

I too am a fellow insomniac. Some days I just don’t go to bed. Others it’s snatched hours here or there. I have researched that it’s a bit of a viscous circle. High bloods can cause insomnia and insomnia can raise bloods. You get the picture lol. Also there’s a link with metformin causing poor...

Just rang the doctors because I haven’t heard back. The receptionist said yes. He’s recommended a diabetic review with a doctor. (I’ve just had that!!!) so I’ve asked for the doctor who is a partner and she said oh, well he’s busy til mid September. So I’ve said I want to speak to him, diabetes...

This is exactly me. Cocktail of different oral meds and loose weight blah blah blah. All of which making me ill. I think eventually when all other meds have been explored then they will give me insulin anyway as they’ll have exhausted all other options. X

I actually started this journey in June last year ☹️ and it’s been a steady progression since. I went to hospital in March and since then it’s been ridiculously controlled. I’ve just had a snoop on my app, my request has been read but I haven’t heard back from them as yet. So will ring them...

I haven’t got ketones. Only high bgs. I’m keeping a close eye on it. When I said a smidge it’s 0.2 and that was the other day. More often than not I don’t have any trace at all. Believe me when I say I won’t let myself get in that position again. I learned the hard way x

I have a meter that checks blood ketones too. I bought that after the stint in hospital. The hospital gave me insulin and brought me back down to a more acceptable level. I was due at the doctors a few days later so they said they would double my metformin and send my notes to the doctors . I...

I have accessed the patient app as my doctors are not seeing patients. I have been to the point and requested a referral to an endocrinologist and given my reasons. I don’t know how many times I have to have the same conversations with them to be honest. Maybe this time I will be referred. (They...

There is yes, do you think with what I’ve explained on here I do have a reason to question another doctors pathway? I don’t want to be a difficult patient but I’ve been diagnosed for over a year now and it’s not really improving. (I do think I’ve had this for about 5/6 years though) it’s hard...
