Hi I was put on this tablet today by the diabetic consultant (finally got to go to the hospital clinic!) Was supposed to be going on byetta but have to wait til after my gallstone operation. I'm always anxious before starting a new med. Little worried about this one as wee alot as it is!! And...

Came across a book, maybe some of you might already know about called 'how to stick to a diet' by Derek doekper. I've read loads of advice on what to eat etc etc, we all know WHAT we should be eating its just actually sticking to it! I liked this book because it was written by a guy who had been...

Oh bless you I'm only on tablets for t2 and never gone that low but not surprised you feel awful! Sure someone with more experience will be along soon :) but I'm sure your body just needs a bit of time to recover be kind to yourself, have you got any healthcare professional you could call just...

Well done you should be VERY pleased with yourself that's a huge improvement in a short space of time! Don't do yourself down seriously even a 5-10% body weight loss has massive health benefits so 19% is superb! At the end of the day the statins are up to you to decide whether to take or not...

I 'think' I'm finally gaining some ground, my gp refused to even read the article about vitamin b12 in the bmj so me being me went and got my own supplements, took a few days, but last two days I've actually been OUT OF BED!!! The mental fogginess has gone and I don't feel dizzy at all. Might...

Currently running 10-12 have reintroduced the gliclazide to see if it makes any difference, been a week I think now, or 6 days something like that, my bgs just don't seem to follow any sort of pattern, especially with regard to how I feel. I've kept a detailed diary for last couple of weeks with...

That was basically what happened to me in Feb when I was diagnosed, I woke up in the night feeling like I was gonna die, terrific stomach pains, on toilet, didn't know whether to poo or puke, couldn't breathe, felt like I was gonna pass out, partner called ambulance, it was them that pricked my...

Haha brilliant! That book is a great read, never fails to make me chuckle :)

Lol this made me think of a story from the book confessions of a gp, little old lady tells her doctor he has given her the wrong pills, he says no, they are the same just made by a different company, she says "no they definitely aren't my pills, they don't flush down the toilet the same as the...

Thx sanguine, it actually really helps to type it all down here, sort of 'offloads' it a bit if that makes sense. I do try to keep my sense of humour about life if I can, prevents the stress all building up, though I must say they are seriously starting to try my patience now :/ I always have...

I had leg problems with the simvastatin was changed to atorvastatin but the tablets are still sitting in the pharmacy bag they came in as it put me right off. I spoke to my dad when I was put on them as he has been on them for years, he'd heard of the side effects but never had them, he was put...

I do 4-5 at the moment bs is all over the place, I get some strips only because I'm relatively newly diagnosed and the gliclazide causes me hypos, the rest I buy myself. Some days I stop testing as nothing I seem to do brings levels down, then bam I have a hypo, just a question, sorry to intrude...
