Hello, Well, I gid get off Gliclazide two months ago. Recommended by my GP because it started to give me Hypos when taken with some heart medication. But also at the same time, I started to reduce my carbs. I didn't gain wait ( was taking it for 10 years approx!) , but now on lower carbs and no...

Good point, but ever since diagnosis, or soon after, I was put on maximum doses of medication( Gliclazide, Metformin, and Jardiance,..). At some point it was suggested that I could go on insulin ( as a type 2) , but I didn't agree. But at no point, even after numerous regular blood tests and...

You are right there. The issue for me is that I have heart condition. Had triple bypass and stent, due to troubled arteries! Hence my fear if I do have more fats, would that cause a blockage of arteries? That's why I've been avoiding things like mature full fat cheese, full fat milk and cream...

Hi, thanks for your kind response. I was seeking to know members preference, or view( maybe from experience). Personally, I wouldn't call that advice. But, I realise there is a very fine line between seeking a different view and seeking advice that one actually follows ( as from doctor)...

A good insight, Thank you. And I am impressed how you manage to control your diabetes with diet only. Something I can only aspire to, at the moment! Regards.

It comes at a price ( some say it is moderate!), but I do recommend it. I find it a very useful monitoring tool.

Hi Lainie Thanks for your message, appreciated. I also admire your achievement in controlling your Type2 diabetes with dieting only! Well done.

This happens to me every time. It is a fact , but it annoys me. I am Type 2 diabetic on medication and I am using the freestyle libra sensor. I was thinking that it was a good idea to do some workout or go for a run to burn some calories and excess sugar. No, It is Wrong, and the opposite...

I am truly fed up with the talk of weight loss in relation to diabetes! Almost everything I hear is about losing weight to fix/control the disease! Could any one in hell or heaven explain what do diabetics who do not have weight problem do? I am diabetic type2, I am slim, so I do not want to...

Been on metformin for couple of decades now. Had no side effects. But as a matter of routine I have recently added B12 to my daily supplements. Will investigate this with My GP. Thanks for sharing.

Hi, I am type 2 diabetic patient. I have observed the same. I have been on maximum allowed dose of medication for a number of years. This has not been effective enough to control my blood sugar level to acceptable levels. I have been advised recently, that If by next review I still have not...
