Wow ! I consider myself well and truly told off! I think what the OP and myself are trying to say that Yes, we fall off the wagon sometimes, Yes, we know it's bad, but to suggest that our light hearted posts could make other Diabetics make bad decisions is both unwarranted and somewhat...

I was really bad a fortnight ago, I ate a whole family sized Tiramisu , I've been so good the last 4 months, had my meds changed 5 times and still my Hba1c was higher than when first diagnosed so I just kind of comfort ate! I can honestly say never again lol! BS of 22.3 and 5 hours in the Loo...

Hi Tbird, one thing I have found is that if I don't eat a meal but just have my metformin with a snack I get a bit constipated, and if I eat a huge meal it upsets my tummy within two hours, so regular meals and smaller portions and you should be absolutely fine, it's a good drug that works well...

I think they're lovely on feet but mine are always sooo cold they'd have to tattoo through my fluffy socks lol ! I'd live to see what sort of designs you're thinking of for your back when you decide to go for it , xxxx

I can't help it I've just burst out laughing at this ! Xx

Lol! I know but I'm not going for any more until these awful ones have been removed from my fore arms , Still haven't checked with dr if it's ok to carry on the sessions but another 5 should do it as they're really fading away . Trouble is my sister wants another one and I always end up getting...

Hi Mimo, They're Lovely ! X

Re: Insanity work out! Wow ! That's amazing , Congratulations , you look wonderful , my hubby has just got this as he drives a desk and has put a bit of chub on , hope it goes as well for him as it has you x

Hi Beachbag, Yes it's really cute isn't it ? I'm not sure, it's the first one I've had on my hand, but it's very slowly healing, maybe our hands and feet don't like having tattoos , I'm a bit nervous now though as I've been having laser treatment to remove some very unsightly tattoos from my...

Hi Alan, I did do a search but it only came up with the costings, the labs and the approval dates, nothing else really about this particular brand, I'm assuming it's the same as the metformin extended release but I thought they were supposed to be easier on the tummy ? Oh well I'll keep going...

Hi There, I was put on these tablets on Thursday after my Dr changed my meds dose yet again, I have to take 4x500mg either in one or two doses with meals, I also take 1x Gliclazide at lunch time, when I was taking the ordinary Met I had no tummy issues, with these I have to keep rushing to the...

Hi, I had a small tattoo on my hand just over three weeks ago, usually I heal really quickly and have no problems but this is my first since being diagnosed and I've got to say it's only just started to heal . So yes please be careful and keep it clean and moisturised ,

Lol Simon , Best to get checked out for sure but it clearly states in the side effects sheets about chest pain and palpitations ! I'm sure from reading posts on here that some GP's haven't a clue about what they're prescribing . Good Luck Vicki

Hi Simon, Today I had my dose of Gliclazide reduced from 160mg to 40mg as I was getting really bad chest pain and palpitations, The consultant advised me to take the 40mg in two doses to see how I get on, they really do bring your sugar levels down but the side effects are awful, She also put me...

Hi, Thanks for the advice. I'm reasonably fit and active, have a job with silly o clock hours which means I usually eat on the run . I saw a different dr yesterday and she was as shocked as me at the results. She actually said that she would never have expected that lol ! Mum. Nan and Great Nan...

Hi, I'm a newbie too. Was diagnosed Type 2 one month ago, like you I'm 48 but it was a huge shock for me. A simple chat with the doc about my hrt patches that I've been on for 2 months turned into a blood test fest when I told her about my so called hrt patch side effects ! Poor patches were...
