Thats a great idea, thank you// I will ask!

10 years ago. I was 25 years old. No idea on which, but they I believe we're inconclusive or negative.

Hi all, I am wondering if there are others like me - People who 'aren't supposed to have diabetes' - by that I mean under 40 (I was 25 at diagnosis), no known African or Black heritage and no family history of diabetes. The only factor I had was that I was overweight, but not drastically...

Hi guys, What do you recommend as your sugary snack to fix a hypo? I've been using chewits and the newly vegan fruittella, but they're actually **** hard to chew when trying to fix yourself! Also, does it make much of a difference if you keep insulin in the fridge or not please? Thanks! R

Okay, so breakfast might be 1/2 a can of tomato soup and 2 pieces of brown toast, or crackers (probably a little carby?), or veggie bacon and eggs. Sometimes 2 potato waffles on their own. I'm having trouble finding veggie bacon at the moment (even before the C Virus Crisis) Lunch is usually a...

Thank you Geordie. Do you know if my usual drugs will need to be taken?

Reply, I am sure it is! But I already eat that and nothings changed.

Hi guys, I recently read about reversing type 2 diabetes with Professor Roy Taylor, and I'd really like to go about doing this, but I am struggling with working out what diet shakes were required. In the book, He does not name any particular brands, he just mentions that they should be...

I rarely hypo now actually (You are correct, I was originally having to eat to my medication), but that has since changed and I am now eating the levels of food I wish to. :)

Not as far as I know. The metformin is slow release though. You may be right- can hypo badly taking glicizide and glipizide when doing protein dieting. Im happy enough I suppose!

Can't remember if i said, i take half a glicizide tablet and a metformin with breakfast and with dinner.

I did originally have my Hba1c a lot lower, 5.5% I think it was, but the nurses advised that I was allowed to eat more sugar and would still be fine, so I did! Thanks for helping guys :)

Hi Everyone, This may seem like a bit of a weird question, but maybe someone has experience of this... I want to know why I appear to be doing okay with my diabetes, despite continuing to eat what I want, when I want. I probably eat more 'wrong foods' now than I ever did before diabetes. For...

Nope it doesn't, this is just when I am ill for another reason. Thanks all!

Hi DCUKMod, No they're not new; It just occurs to me (as I have been persistently unwell in the last year) that this is a really annoying thing to happen. Thank you, I'll ask my doctor :) Yeah, I'm already taking the kinder stuff (I got on that as soon as I heard of it!) - Thank you! Is...

Hi all, I'll get straight to the point; I've been on metformin the last 3 years and whenever I start to throw up, I cannot control my bowel (in short: butt explosions), and I wondered if I stopped taking this drug, would my bum return to its glorious, well behaved form? My friend (also on MF)...

Cold!

Hi all! I'm trying to put together possible evidence of a connection between Pulsatile Tinnitus and Diabetes and would appreciate any responses I can get. For those of you that don't know, Pulsatile Tinnitus is where you have tinnitus in your ear (or ears) and it goes in time with your heart...

Hi Cara, I try to eat carbs with every meal (this is what i was told to do when i was a type 1 - does the same thing apply to type 2?) and I try to eat balanced meals. I mostly eat homemade veggie pizza which is made out of wholemeal pitta breads, not much cheese, lots of tomato and veggies...

Hi Everyone, I would like to know, Should I be worried about my elevated blood sugars in the morning? I take two 5mg glipizides with 'breakfast' (which is usually lunch as I don't eat breakfast, around 12-1.30pm) and two more with my evening meal (anywhere from 6pm-8pm) When I wake up my...
