I have been taking this in addition to other medications for 7 weeks now and I am sure it is responsible for me feeling almost unwell every morning. I am already not good in the morning. I am prepared to give it a good try but next week I have a hospital appointment at 10.50am which means my...

I am surprised that the NHS is duplicating tests, stay under the hospital. Hope you can sort this. I live in Tenerife now but used to be under the main Coventry hospital where I also had a wonderful GP surgery. Tenerife ate very good at investigating everything but if my Endo is doing blood...

Thank you, yes with the temperatures we are having at the moment think I will leave it in the fridge.

I have today had my insulin changed to Tresiba but because I am British and living in Tenerife everything is in Spanish. I have searched on line but still cannot find the answer I want. I have been prescribed a dose of 100 once a day, what I need to know is whether or not it has to be kept in...

Is anyone on this medication. My Endocrinologist has just prescribed this for me, taking me off Empaglifozin. Any advice gratefully received, thank you.

I live in Tenerife which at the moment is one of the safest places to be. However I have made arrangements to come over to the UK at the end of March to see my family (they are all in UK). I am beginning to wonder whether or not I should go but I so want to see my sons, grandchildren and...

Am disappointed that I have not received any responses to my querie, surely there is someone on here who has experienced stopping Trulicity. I have no support over here in Tenerife and sadly was hopeful of posting on here but sadly to no avail. I know there are some medical people on this...

I was put on Trulicity and many other diabetic medications in December 2017 when my sugars had gone out of control 12 months following the untimely unexpected death of my husband. We had been together for 48 years and had recently moved to Tenerife to grow old together and nine months later he...

Is anyone on this insulin? My doctor has just changed me from Lantus to this one and I start it tonight. I am on other oral drugs and Trulicity. Since moving to Tenerife in January 2016 and losing my husband of 45 years in October 2016, my diabetes has gradually gone out of control despite...

Have recently started Synjardy and the instructions are to take with food. I was wondering if anyone takes it without food - because I do not get going very early in the morning by the time I have eaten it is nearly midday before I take the medication, it would be much easier if I could take it...

Hi everyone Not been on here for a while but have recently moved to live in Tenerife and am wondering if there are any other members living over here? I have yet to register with a local doctor but may be needing more insulin before I am able to do that and am wondering how I would go about...

I will be moving to Tenerife in a couple of months and just wondered if there are any members on here who live in Tenerife :)

I have been seeing a private chiropodist for 20 years now and we had managed to contain my problems. However today I have had part of my one big toenail removed so, fingers crossed, when that has healed I should not have any more trouble with that one. And I have decided that if this one heals...

Hi Everyone, Am on my second 7 day course of Flucloxacillin 500mg x 4 daily - does anyone know if these affect blood sugars ?? I am struggling at the moment as it is and could just do without this. The tablets are due to an infected toe which is due to ingrowing toe nail - just because I...

Hi Indy I started 5:2 last month but am still struggling. I have lost a little weight but nothing has moved for 4 weeks now. Am pleased this subject has been raised - I am getting support from various facebook sites. I have actually been doing 4:3 most weeks as I do have a lot of weight to...

My experience is only with Europe but I use payingtoomuch.com who will give you many quotes from different companies.

I wrote about this in January and no one else had had any problems - I just received messages telling me how to use my meter which was bit of an insult as I have been using these meters for years. I contacted Roche in January and they told me they had been having problems with the cassettes and...

Hi Scottie When you saying "fasting" do you mean when you get up or just before you have your first meal of the day? If it is the latter I would suggest you test as soon as you get up and then before you eat and see if there is any difference. Just a thought!!

Hi Scottie Please do not get stressed about the possibility of using insulin - I am type 2 and been on insulin for 5 years. Sadly the past year my sugars have remained high and I am really struggling to make any difference. However, I do wonder if you are starting to eat too late in the day...

Hi Heathenlass, What ingredients do you put into your breakfast granola and what size portion do you eat? Thank you.
