Hi Rachox, I don't think that my GP or Endos will do that at this moment in time. They are having difficulty getting the medication. It is really annoying because I can get 1MG but not 0.25 or 0.5. Thanks Lee

Hi, I was prescribed Ozempic in Aug 2023 and I have been unable to get it until Feb 2023. When I did manage to get some, all I could get were 2 pens of 0.25 Now, my Pharmacy can't get any more, but they do have 1MG in stock. The problem is that my GP will not allow me to go from 0.25 to...

Hi, how did you lose the neuropathy? Thanks

Hi Zeus, I am the same. constant tingling + warm sensation on my legs/feet that kept me awake at night. What Alpha-Lipoic-Acid do you recommend? It has only just started but it is worrying. Especially seeing that I managed to lower my HbA1c down to 50 from 60. I have been looking at these...

Hi, I kind of have my T2 under control with a HbA1C of around 50 but I am getting a lot of tingling and burning pains. This could be related to other medication but I am putting it down to my diabetes for now. I was wondering if there is anything that you can do about it. I have seen...

Yes it was more of less the Atkins and I was practically on zeros carbs. It has allowed me to get my HbA1c down from around 101 to 45 in under 6 months and, I have only been doing the diet for around 3 months of that. But it is not healthy and I have to put some good fats into my body because...

That;s what I was thinking about the protein part but I kind of understood what he was saying. The diet that I was using was practically no carbs, too many eggs and bad high fat etc... Now I need to start adding some things back into it and see how I get on with my next blood test.

I was on more or less zero carbs and eating nothing but meat for about 2-3 months in order to get my HbA1c as quickly as possible and I was shocked by todays result. I have managed to get back into the pre-diabetic range from what they considered as really high when I was diagnosed at the...

Hi, I am only taking 1 GC a day instead of the 2 that I was supposed to be taking and I have not had any Hypos either. My lowest reading has been 5.1 and I have maintained 6.2 - 9.8 on most of the past 2-3 months. But there have been some where I have gone up to 15 but that is due to a bit...

That since I was diagnosed as being a Type 2 Diabetic at the beginning of this year in Jan 2020. My HbA1c readings have come down from. Jan 2020 -101 mmol/mol Apr 2020 - 73 mmol/mol Jun 2020 - 45 mmol/mol and that my blood glucose was good. He said also said that these reading were a bit...

Thanks for your help. At least I know how to track my results with this monitor now and I wish that they have given it to me when they said that I was pre-diabetic in Jan 2019!!! Instead of just telling me to adjust my diet and let me get to the stage where I am now. Now I can only do what I...

Hi, Sorry for the late reply but I have been on a whirlwind learning curve and trying to work out how to use my bm machine and all this medication and diet tracking. 1. I ran out of lancets and strips for my meter so I had to speak to my surgery. 2. I managed to get my strips and lancets put...

Hi Jo, Yes that is the problem now. I feel that I might be overeating now, and I often feel like skipping a meal or two. Taking the Glic means that I can't skip a meal and have to keep eating at all times. It is still early days and therefore I am going to have to work out how to do this...

I am on a low carb diet. For example this morning all that I have had morning is. Breakfast 1 x Tesco Gammon Steak 2 x Eggs 1 x Coffee with Coconut Milk. Lunch for today might be 2 x Pork Chops 1 x Egg 1 x Cup of tea Tea might be. 2 x Burgers 4 x Turkey Sausages 1 x Cup of tea. I am going...

I agree, I don't want to take the Gliclazide on top of the Metaformin but I need to get this down quick. My Glucose level readings are still over 10 and I need to get them into a good range. They have advised me to take 1 Glic in the morning on top of my Metaforim and check my levels twice a...

I didn't have a choice, it's what they gave me. I managed to get it working, it looks like that I am not providing it with enough blood on the strip even though it bleeps. I started taking blood from my right forearm and I just about get enough. My reading at 11PM before bed was 10.2 mmol/L...

Hi Jo, I tried taking some measurements but I can't even get the machine to work. It keeps giving me an error once it takes the blood. I have spoken to my clinic and they have suggested that I go to a Chemist to make sure that I am doing it right, and come and see them if the machine is...

Hi I am kind of in the same situation as you. I have just been given a Jazz monitor by my practice, but I can't get the thing to work properly. It keeps giving me a E.2 error message every time I take a sample and my fingers and arms can't take anymore of it. Thanks

Hi Jo, The Nurse said that I should be around the 50 mark and that I am currently at 70. I'm going to ask to speak to one of the doctors because she is not much use and they keep changing who I speak to all the time. I managed to get my hba1c down from 110 to 70 in 3 months, and if I can do...

Hi, all of this Corona lock down doesn't help. I had to have a telephone conversation with them and she sounded hurried and just wanted to get me off the phone. I had to get to the practice to pickup a blood monitor but it wasn't explained to me at all because I wasn't allowed in the building...
