Thank you for your reply. I’m sorry to hear about your health issues. I wish you well with your appointment. I was really impressed by the response from the hospital to my eye screening.

Hello, sorry for not posting on this thread in a while, but, I’ve been waiting for my hospital appointment, which was this morning. The good news is that I do not yet have proliferative retinopathy. Despite the screening service report to my GP, it was referred to hospital as the screening...

Thank you for your reply / it’s reassuring to hear about your experiences.

Hello, I just wanted to update my thread. I’ve had my appointment through for the Hospital. It’s in 2 weeks, which seems like an age! I’ve been able to get on with work and keep myself busy so I’ve been more productive than usually - building all those Power Automate flows I’ve been putting off...

Thank you so much for your reply. It really positive and helpful to think about it in these terms.

Thank you for replying - it’s much appreciated. Wish you well with your eye screening.

Hello, I’m posting to try and get a sense of other people’s experiences. Had my annual NHS retinopathy screening 2 weeks ago and I received my report back from the screening service on Saturday. It talked about a change and a referral to Ophthalmology. I then logged into the NHS app and was...

I don't know what's happening to me and I'm starting to freak out. I apologise in advance for the long rambling post. I don't have any history of renal problems, I'm a T2 on meds and I have bp well managed with meds. My diabetic control is generally good, although my sugars have been a bit up...

Re: Need help with breaking a food addiction! I sympathise with you. Food has always been an issue for me. I've been a comfort eater for 25 years and I'm having to come to terms with the fact that, in all likelihood, I ate myself into Diabetes. I have however changed my ways over the last 5...

Hi, I'm sorry to hear about all the difficulties that you're enduring. Don't feel so bad about missing the appointment. It might not be much comfort, but they might not have discharged you simply because you missed an appointment. Due to the changes in the NHS a lot of Diabetics under hospital...

Just on Statins, I just thought I'd share my experience. I took Simvastatin and experienced cramps at night and also disturbed sleep. It turns out that there are two types of statin: statins absorbed into fat ( lipophilic) and ones absorbed into water (hydrophilic). Simvaststin is a 'Fat' one...

That really would be a shame. My hospital Doctor is a wonderful guy and he's been really supportive of me during some difficult times. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hi guys! Well done on the weight loss. I'm in a similar situation. I need to loose about 6 stones to begin with! Since April I've lost 17kgs which I'm very happy about, but I've got a long way to go! My problem is that currently my weight has been stuck at the same point for a couple of eerks...

Hi I was found to have M1 for the first time back in 2008 in one of my eyes. It's remained stable since then and has just been monitored. In fact the retinopathy in my other eye has slightly advanced since my last screening in March and its actually this other eye that is giving me more cause...

Hi Zombiegirl. I can't really add to the advice you've already had but I just wanted to say that I really can relate to how you feel as I'm in a similar situation. At my last screening I was found to have had some haemorrhages and some evidence of leakage (called Hard Exudates). I was told...

Hi, I've been on 2000mg of Met (1000mg am then pm) and also 1.2 of Victoza for the last 3 years. I've always tolerated it well but recently I've started having problems. Two hours after taking the Met I get tummy pain and in general I have really bad gas with horrible 'eggy' burps! I have...
