.....oh and need to add that I have now lost 11 kilos in total.

I have taken the Alpha for 3 months - last nite I tried to come off my Metformin and only "exists" on my 8 units insulin and no sugar (of course) - my reading was still 5.6 before bedtime and 4.8 this morning....its now 12.00 where I am - I had my 8 units insulin this morning and breakfast at 10...

Thanks for all your kind replies. So now its totally mad - I have lost 10 kilos in 3 weeks! I dont know if its the Metformin or ? (its not cancer - went straight to have that checked!) But the weight loss has enabled me to continue my lower medication level from my holiday. Im now on 8 Units...

Palpitations over - stopped tea - and it helped - my Metformin doesnt seem to have any impact - thanks for all the good advise!!!!!! - this forum is a great help I must say! Now still fighting a tiny bit with my Neuropathy which I thought had fully gone for a while but which does pop up once...

Dear Dennis I have some more time now and I think I should explain myself a bit better. Im on 6 meals a day and Metformin normally lasts 4-6 hours and is as such for most of us to combat one meal. - As Im on 6 meals I want to make sure that my 3 Metformins per day can combat 2 meals for sure...

OK here we go: Daily: Vitamin B12 X 3 tablets Vitamin Alpha-Lipioc X 2 Tablets and Methycobal 0.5mg X 3 tablets after each meal. A glass of redwine before sleeping - carry on until the buzz is gone.... Good luck KIM

Hi Try Vitamin B12 it helped me get rid of my burning feets - and keep your sugar low at all time - it can be that your nerves are a bit affected by many years of diabetes - I have another medicament that I took as well - I will get right back to you with the name - and the B12 X 3 per day...

Hi A good choice while clubbing is a vodka with soda just topped - and I mean topped - with orange juice(like 2-4ml). I call this drink a Skoda and its very good as Vodka is "good" (read: less problematic) with diabetes. The very tiny level of orange juice is only to give the drink some...

Hi Gov Usually the Metformin just combats the last meal - so you must be careful at night when you have eaten your dinner and taken your Metformin 30 mins after the meal as if your eat again hereafter your numbers next morning is horrid!!!! And I mean bad....so if you have 14.9 when you wake up...

Thanks - really helpful - the problem is that they only have two different meds for diabetes - but I will get right on to it! Im going to have the T3 test today and a CT to see how my heart and nerves are doing - no buzzing in feets anymore - so think my Neuropathy is at rest. KIM

Whats your medication precise? It sounds to me as if you have not been put right yet - you need to get your levels right! Maybe you need more or different meds? KIM

Hi Totsy Do you know if it can be connected with the nerve system? As I feel sticking nerves around the heart when Im low on sugar and feel pressure on chest when high (over 11.00). Is it connected? - here in China the doctors seems to have a problem when you mention nerve system - its like...

Hi again Try German dark bread with low fat cheese (max 12%) or low fat dried meat (no butter - sorry - and if only very very thin) - drink tea or milk - but if milk then no cheese!Eat a full cucumber! You need 500 gramm and above fresh vegs a day so you better start in the morning! If you walk...
