In total agreement with you - I have no idea how many "trials" have discovered side-effects years down the line - a year even and as such the drug has been pulled... Yes the development might have been shrunk into 9 months by everyone working 24/7 but long-term effects cannot be found... For the...

Regardless of what DHSC has said this vaccine has been rushed through in 7 months where a regular vaccine takes around 10 years to develop - the vaccine for chicken pox took 25 years - if it's so safe, why has Big Pharma et al been granted immunity from legal redress...

I had whuflu in October 2019 and recovered quite happily after a week of flu-like symptoms...

Especially considering that the pharmacutical companies have been given immunity from legal challenges should it cause harm...

There is no way I will be taking anything that has had it's development reduced from 10 years to 8 months topped with the fact this is a "new" method of vaccination - mRNA, where you are essentailly genetically modified because the "vaccine" inserts itself into the DNA of your cells - who the...

if the BBC said it was raining - I'd have to go and check...

Isn't it odd that the NHS Trusts are now CCGs - I wonder how many £millions went into that "little" change and is probably one of the reasons I can't have my XT test strips (bearing in mind the difference in cost per pot is only around £3)

I've just discovered a recall of trueresult meters and test strips in USA (http://www.trividiahealth.com/our_products/bgm_true_result.aspx) My diabetes clinic at my local hospital has had numerous complaints about the accuracy and workings of True Result - so why is my GP FORCING me to change...

Hi, this is just my point - I've done nothing except INCREASE my stress levels, in the office for 14 hours a day 90 min round journey to/from work... maybe MORE stress is the answer!!! LOL!

I'm on Linagliptin and to be honest I don;t think it's making any difference...

I've had half a dozen or so retinal scans and each one has reported 'background retinopathy' in my right eye. I was even shown the photos, one tiny spec of calcium and one tiny bleed. Not eye-sight threatening but good to know what was what. This year the report came back as no retinopathy! I...

I was prescribed a meter (Bayer Contour) over 10 years ago and currently on Lantus, Victoza, Linagliptin as well as several BP meds, one of which (amlodipine) I'm stopping because I have developed an arrhythmia (listed side-effect and odd now my quack "forgot" to tell me it was statin-based...)...

There is probably a HUGE thread here somewhere regarding this, but who else is being palmed off with cheap meters/test strips? I've been more than happy with my Contour XT USB meters - I have two I purchased myself. They are compact, can connect to my Mac for data download easily and allow me to...

I was diagnosed with T2 in 2006 and up to 2013 hardly ate any chocolate at all - averaged probably only a couple of bars a year. In 2012 my figures went haywire and I went through all the usual meds until being put on a combination of Levimir, Victoza and Linagliptin. Still my figures were in...

This is not the first time I have heard that diabetes has an effect on memory and brain function. Having reached the dizzying age of 49 and diagnosed T2 for last 7 years, I have noticed that my cognitive function is rapidly diminishing. I always used to be able to think several steps ahead in...

When i took metformin, within 4 days my thumbs swelled to twice their normal size and the joints bled internally, a bit like a huge bruise.. All i was given was piriton which was as much use as a chocolate teapot... Took 6 weeks before they returned to normal.
