Just to bring everyone upto date and hopefully instil a bit of hope into others I saw my diabetes consultant yesterday and he is so pleased with my continued (although levelled out) results that I no longer have to see him and only have to see the diabetes nurse as 6 monthly intervals. I have...

Dave sorry to hear you are struggling at the moment but if it is any consolation I too felt like that for 2/3 weeks after I went up to the 10mg dose but after 5 months on it I can report that my health care team are delighted with me. My last ha1bc was down to 6.2 and my weight has dropped 10...

Hi- I am a type 2 and have been for several years with mainly good control over by sugar levels. However over the last few weeks I have had consistently high readings varying between 13 to 25 and despite following my normal diet etc., nothing has been able to bring them down although my last...
