I can't eat snack a jacks although I used to love them in my per diabetes days. I find a while after eating them (more so at night), that I get extremely dry mouth & throat. More than usual thirst, it's hard to explain. But only happens when I eat those. Don't know if it's due to the rice they...

Thank you everyone. I think I have amazed myself as I truly thought I could never do it. When I look back at pics of myself I realise now how big I was before for my short height. I used to eat almost anything. Takeaways, huge dinners, sweets, cakes, biscuits. I still have the sweets cakes &...

:stop: Thanks

Hi everyone. It's been exactley a year since I was diagnosed with type 2. Had my review today & I'm delighted to announce that I've kept it so well controlled that my Metformin has been halved to just one tablet daily now . My level was about 30 I think. But my cholesterol was 5.5 which the...

Hi everyone, quite often I wake up in the morning with a headache or get headaches during the day but nothing will shift them. Just wondered if it was anything to do with diabetes?

If you have hypo symptoms it's fairly easy to bring levels back up. But what about the other way round for a type 2 on Metformin? I can't test atm but I feel my level is high & wish I could do something to bring it down a bit. Also I hate it when you really don't feel like eating at all but...

Thank you both x

Hi everyone. I'm going on holiday to Greece in about a fortnight & would like some advice please if you don't mind. I have a few questions but if there's anything else you think may help then please go ahead & tell me. Ok, I'm type 2 on Metformin. This will be my first holiday since diagnosed...

Had my first HbA 1C today since being diagnosed last November. Down from 8 to 6 & lost exactly 2stone 3lbs. Dn said that was very very good. I'm well pleased with the weight loss. Didn't think I'd ever be able to cut the carbs but I have & it's worked :happy:. I don't count carbs but by all you...

Hi, I've had diabetes since November. At first I was really confused. But with the help of this group I'm now managing fine. I've lost weight & now know what foods to eat or avoid etc. I feel really well in myself & loads of people have commenting how well I am looking. I've been booked onto...

Can you tell me how to make them please? Thanks

OMG I'm truly saddened to hear this. Those nurses ought to be held accountable for the way they treated your dear mother. If it's any consolation at least she's at peace now & is no longer suffering. May god bless you & your family & help you through this very sad time. Now it's time to take...

Hi, I've been so good for so long but today I caved in & ate a bag of sweets & a bar of chocolate :eek: I was feeling a bit low in mood & felt I needed something sweet to give me a boost. I didn't have anything else that I could've have. Don't think it will do any harm though just this once. I...

Reading this has made me so angry. :mad: She doesn't have the capacity to be hoisted so that makes it ok for them to throw her around??? Oh I'm fuming. Your poor mother. If I was there there's no way I would let them have a go at me, or at anyone. How dare they? I think the sooner your mum gets...

First of all they are not allowed under any circumstances to transfer any patient without the correct equipment such as a hoist if she is unable to weight bear, or a moving & handling belt if she can bear her own weight. If you see them transferring your mum from bed to chair, or chair to bed...

[ They are insisting she had her injuries BEFORE she arrived and prior to that she was in Hull Royal Infirmary (thats who we sued) . When your mother was admitted they should have done a Body Chart. They examine the patient (done by 2 nurses!) & indicate on the body chart any injuries or...

Don't worry, google just told me :joyful:

What is OGTT please?

Thanks. I don't normally low carb as I love my bread & spuds but that's just how it went today. I might carry it on & see how I get on :happy:
