Awesome news well done.

Thanks guys for all the kinds words. This is the first I’ve been able to get on. The scare was being told I may need to take injections and I’m not really a fan of needles so I had to get my head right. I do feel my depression and anxiety fed into each other which then would exhaust me and...

August 3 months ago I got my usual diabetes Hb1ac bloods done and as usual sky high. Between 60-70’s. My depression and anxiety let the comforting voice in my head always win instead of doing something properly to manage my condition. I’m currently on 1000mg metformin, 25mg alogliptin and...

Thanks for the responses everyone. After being to the docs my 1ac was in its 60’s and he’s now put me on empagliflozan and I’ve to continue on metformin and my alogliptin. He also stated if all 3 don’t help then I’ll be put on insulin. It’s frustrating as I feel the medication would work if only...

Thank you coby and sorry to hear you’ve went through a similar situation. I think I might try the no eating till 3.30 as they just put me on empagliflozan. It’s a never ending battle.

Hi guys I haven’t posted on here in a long time. Tbh I’ve not had the best of year and my bloods have shot back up, my carbs intake is off the chart and the problem I feel is an addiction to food. I have tried cbt, 12 steps and even made contracts with myself (which I broke) to eat right and...

Thanks for the feedback and that’s awesome how you got it down. I have a question regarding your dosage. You said it’s 2mg of metformin you’re on. 1 dosage for me is 500mg. Is this right or am I missing something?

All great advice guys, nice and varied. The dizziness I need to maybe do some more research with a gp. Thanks a guys.

Hi guys I was diagnosed with diabetes 2-3 months ago and still haven’t been told the type. I’ve been advised it’s type 2 due to only taking oral tablets and not injecting insulin. Not sure if That’s a reasonable measurement but anyway I was put on metformim and glyclazide straight away. I built...

Hi sorry I thought I posted the meds. I’m on 2000 metformin and 80mg glyclazide. I’ve just recently stopped the glyclazide as I felt really dizzy and horrible due to my numbers dropping to fast from 20’s to singles. The only confirmation I’ve been given into my type was if it’s tablets I’m on...

Thanks I will do.

Hi guys. I’ve been newly diagnosed, on meds and been watching what I’m eating, however they are humming and hawing on the type. I’ve noticed for the past few weeks now both my legs below the knees are feeling tight, numb and there’s a tingling sensation. I’ve given them a check over and no...

Absolutely brilliant. Well done. I’m at the start of my journey with depleted energy levels and your story has gave me massive levels of confidence that I to can get back to being me. Oh and I was literally about to do the west highland way and had to pull out due to the Symptoms I was having. I...

Thanks guys for all the responses they are very much appreciated. Going with the low carb diet to hopefully get off the glyclazide as I feel it’s probably giving me the false hypos but I have confidence I’ll get there. Just need my body to catch up lol. Thanks again guys.

Hi guys just looking for some advice if possible. I was diagnosed with diabetes a month ago. The antibodies came back negative so looking type2, however they said another test was done and they don’t have the results yet so can’t say for sure. In the meantime I’m on full 2000mg 4(per day)...

Thanks for sharing. Did you have bloods done at diagnosis or were you just told based on your symptoms? How were you feeling with the treatment you were receiving for type 2 was it just not making any difference?

Wow thanks guys. Wasn’t expecting this level of support back so soon. Carb intake is something I’m trying to watch right now but it’s very scary how little GP’s get involved or aren’t on their game with this. I was told if the antibodies test comes back negative then the next thing will be the...

Just recently told I have diabetes however awaiting antibodies results to determine the type. I’ve been tracking my glucose levels and they’ve been 12.0 min up to 18.6 however the average I see is at least 15.0. Just wondering is this considered high and does anyone have any input or similar...
