Sorry to digress and sorry for my ignorance but are you meant to inform DVLA if you have just started on Lantus ?

I`ve been on Victoza for 5 years and have found that it suits me fine - I lost a couple of stone and now maintain that weight loss which is ideal. I did feel quite `sickly` when I first started this drug but `stick` with it if you can. I am type 1 but because diabetes is a progressive chronic...

Only just read your message - how scary ! I look after my feet and am very vain - I love pretty shoes ! I really should know better though as I have a twin sister who is a Type 1 - since she was 4 years old. (We are both 60 now !) She was a theatre sister and had to retire early due to foot...

My BS seem to be rising too ! I`m scared - I have a twin sister who has been a Type 1 since she was 4 and she has had loads of problems, including a lower leg amputation. Due for my annual BS test in June so I`m sure my DN will suggest insulin ! How are you with insulin ? Any weight gain ...

What is Forxiga ? My BS are quite high too but am due a talk next week with my nurse - she says it`s likely that I will be on insulin soon - not sure if that`s the way to go though - quite concerned about the implications for driving and weight gain.

Just need some advise please ! Not sure what to do and am a bit scared ! Have had a really bad cough for 3 weeks and after some `nagging` from husband got an appointment with nurse on Thursday 10th. She was very thorough and said that it was good that I went and then she diagnosed me with...

Just had an HBA1c done and waiting for the results. I`m getting high readings too so am dreading what my results will be when I go to the surgery on the 14th July !

Morning ! Watching this thread with interest and wondered how your Dad is now ? Did he manage to see his GP ?

I too have only taken hand luggage for a long weekend and never had any trouble - put tablets and Victoza pen and needles etc. in a small clear sealable plastic bag and never been questioned. However, coming thru` Gibralter last November a man did ask me for a letter but another man told him it...

I have vitiligo ! Probably fpr 6 years or so before I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes - I have a twin sister with it too but she is type 1 and has had it since she was 4 years old ( I Had pernicious anaemia when I was 16 years old ) I think its all connected ! I must admit that its not got...

just about to have blue berries and greek yoghourt too - Yummy ! I know its a bit late for brekkie now but have been `pottering` around doing some housework and then looking at this forum - its quite addictive ! Going for a walk shortly !

yes - I seem to be like that too ! Perhaps we taste nice !(Got a burn from the oven and that seems to be taking ages to heal as well) On a more serious note I think we should be more careful and caring for our bodies - looking after our skin and feet etc. - checking for bites etc. (and get some...

Do you think doctors get extra funding when they prescribe statins ? Just a thought !

Can I eat beetroot on a low carb regime - that pickled stuff in jars. I just love it !

Yes - this is a great site - you will be amazed at how much some of the members know - they are so informative and helpful ! Its great that you can just `dip in and out` when you have time and find out lots of interesting facts. How are you feeing ? Don`t feel too afraid, its quite overwhelming...

yes - I `put on` 8lbs - in 6 months ! I seemed to be hungry most of the time and eating loads of carbs. too, just to `fill up` . Joined WW and lost 7lbs but but after reading all the good reports about the low carb regime on this website this week I have decided to try this - by bs are falling...

Looking forward to reading you report - have started low-carb.this week and have noticed lower bs already !

And still your doctor insists that all diabetics should be taking them !

I think low blood sugars can cause mood swings (maybe high ones too !) My twin sister is type 1 and when her BS are low she`s quite moody and doesn`t want to talk much !

I`ve been on Victoza for a couple of years along with SR Metformin - happy with it too but my bs have started to go up recently (diagnosed T2 April 2009 and joined a study trial for Victoza at Selly Oak Hospital) Since then we have moved house and consequently doctor in December 2012 - my new...
