I am going to Southern Tamil Nadhu to a holy place (Arunachala ) Tiruvannamalai for at least 6 weeks. The purpose is meditation and following a lifelong dream. The town is totally vegetarian and alcohol free. I would appreciate any advice regarding dietary intake and lifestyle in general. I...

I have just been told by my GP that I will have to go on to insulin if I can not reduce my Hba1c levels quickly. 2012 was a bad year in many ways for me because of cancer, relationship, and house sales issues. Consequently my diet was the first thing out of the window as was exercise. I went...

Hi Ali Yes I am interested in trying anything. I have dismissed my laziness and depression and determined to regain control of my life and my diabetes; the latter by any reasonable means except insulin. The Orlistat is working and I have had no adverse side effects but strangely enough I have...

Hello All. I have been T2 since 1998 and have managed to keep my readings within the 7 limit in that time. In 2012, which was a serious Annus Horriblis for me my 6 monthly blood tests showed a rise to 8.4 in July and 10 in December. I put a lot down to serious stress and the accompanying...

Yep I have to admit my passion. I have been a gamer from year dot (I used to be in the computer business). I am, in my late 60's now and I believe that gaming, mainly FPS or fantasy, keeps by brain and digits exercised. I have and XPOX and a PC and will build myself a new PC Gaming rig as...

Hmmmm! I have heard about this approach, so it would be interesting to hear first hand about the outcome(s). I have a question also about Caverject injections. who else is on these and what is their dosage (Mr burden?) I am about to up my dose to 15 but I think (not sure) the highest is 20...

Hi, I have posted on this subject before, I like you have been through all the hoops and jumps with the Urology Clinic and hypnotherapists and all sorts of other 'ists' too. Caverject is great providing you get the dose correct, but there is a limit to the dosage and the amount of times it can...

I originally posted this on another thread, and thought it may be worth it to contribute it here too. viewtopic.php?f=25&t=13434&p=144194#p144194 Jon

I have had T2 for about 12 years. This is a long reply but it covers most of the topics in one response so please be patient. Just before my T2 diagnosis I started to notice that my libido was dropping and I suffered from ED. I was told by my GP it was because I had been on Beta Blockers...

I was vaguely aware of this aspect of vitamin use, thanks for bringing it into perspective. I regularly take a multi-oil capsule each day to keep the old heart and joints working but that is all. Apart from the oils I do take an overdose of pure Vit C for a couple of days(not the chemical...

I have been a T2 now for about 12 years. I have done the regular testing, no testing at all, and the timed testing occasionally. My Clinic always asks for my recorded results but I usually say I forgot them. Why? Because I feel that they are really meaningless in the small picture, but maybe...

I was diagnosed T2 10 years ago and fortunately caught it in the early stages. I was not asked to test but did have regular blood tests. When I moved to the IOW where we are so fortunate to have one of the leading world authorites on Diabetes - Aron Baksy. Aron ran a completely different...
