Thanks, what the surgeon said happened 8 months ago it’s beginning to think rings absolutely true. Anyway I think 7+ days on I’m getting there.

Thanks, it feels like I’m in a vicious circle. I’m trying to work through which probably isn’t the wisest thing so can’t access a pharmacy right now. The cheapo cough medicine I have just say’s it should be taken into account with people with diabetes mellitus but it isn’t like I’m overdosing...

Hello, Sorry if in wrong place. The first real time I have noticed readings affected by unwellness. I have been battling a cold all week and getting higher then usual blood glucose readings, as I’m on no regular medication for diabetes as it currently is, surely it won’t matter when it comes...

Fluids are best room temperature and walking helps.

Really good point.

Unsure. A surgeon didn't think so, they wrote to the GP saying I was a diabetic in September. A district nurse shared how her husband would lose weight and go round in circles with remission, yes she was of the mindset you put weight on, diabetes will be back. Can you get cases where a...

38mmol was exactly the same result I got whilst on Mounjaro.

My experience totally. Do not purchase it as they will keep expecting you to do so.

Many congratulations! amazing numbers :) can I ask how long a period was your toe wound? Thank you.

Have you had any update Dorano?

Thank you for the such lovely and informative reply Pipp. x Personally I'm not hopefully for PIP as they asked if I held a blue badge and the original application was made when I had no solid idea what I was dealing with so by my own admission I feel the telephone assessment was more...

Yep thanks for your thoughts. I have dealing with obesity since childhood I was diagnosed aged 10 with under active thyroid. I was promised all sorts on leaving hospital such as plastics - I would be annoyed to later find out they could have solved this. I'm pretty sure a friend of mind would...

Thank you, I'm really sorry for your plight. Mine I think it battling obesity long term, the continual losing weight and putting it on, I do agree with the district nurse. I would dearly love to get liposuction privately but the scarring is probably to bad and necrotic now. When I got to the...

Yes I get this and the fact pip is based on how the condition affects someone rather then formal diagnosis, which I'm actually very grateful with the record clearly in a mess and any engagement with the nhs over this last year not leading to any formal diagnosis. Cannot believe we are meant to...

Again this isn't about my diabetes. Hence my posting in other conditions sub section. I have already been though the GP to get to a lymphoedema clinic after so many weeks waiting understandable, who I would have thought could provide a thorough diagnosis. Not leave it so wholly wishy washy as...

Ah thank you, no nothing to do with the HbA1c sorry for any confusion. In my other comorbidities there is no likely about it under active thyroid, a gynae problem, except the remission for diabetes can come and go. Wonder if it is treated like menopause, they won't test bloods under a certain...

Hi, Really fed up and perturbed. Attended lymphoedema clinic recently and came out with a stage 2 primary diagnosis (or so I thought) got home and written over the records is it's only 'likely'. They didn't take my weight, ask me to strip off to do a full body check, even check what other...

I always thought a type 1 could not be prescribed, that said I have a relative with type 2 on insulin who was put on MJ though under specialist clinic/hospital diabetic nurse. Please be careful buying private as in my experience as soon as my mmol started lowering I found myself taken off all...

Ah thank you so much for your update ch.83 - the no current guidance makes a lot of sense now to me. Good that you got an apology. I got told to stop Mounjaro and present for a repeat blood test 3 months after stopping.

Good point. I did try and have a moan when out of hospital about an experience with ladies issues when they just told me to up the hrt when I genuinely had a water infection which a high st chemist treated but weirdly said did no one tell you the side effects of stopping metformin, but I didn't...
