Hi all, I've mentioned before I have a fatty liver & I've probably have had a high atl for 3 years now, my question is I've asked my doctor whether its causing me to have higher than usual blood sugar levels but she told me to not worry. I'm losing weight I've lost 1.5kg already. I just want...

So today marks 18 months since I was diagnosed with type 2, with HBA1c of 84, weighing in at 150KG. My current Stats are 28 for the last two HBA1c, and weigh 92KG (im tall aha) Had a load of health issues which as of today seem to be resolved ❤. I had high blood pressure, which is now normal...

Hi. I have been on sitagliptin and forxiga and dapagliflozin and gliclazide and those drugs make my sugar go low and then I start to get cravings and start to shake. If I come of it I go back into the high blood sugar readings and I feel fatigue and sluggish. Has anyone on here found a way to...

Hi. I'm a 17-year-old female with a healthy weight for my age and height, but I'm not that active and rather sedentary and I honestly don't eat that well either. Both of my parents are T2 diabetics and as far as I know, I'm not diabetic. I use their blood sugar meter as they don't use it...

Hello everyone, Not too long ago, I began using the insulin Tresiba instead of Lantus. I was told by my nurse that it'd be possible for me to take it at any given time daily that I desire (only once daily, naturally). Due to this, I decided to take it in the morning, as I usually wake up around...

Results are in, I've literally just left the doctors office with a hba1c result of 58 down from 103 April 2019. I actually cried, I'm so happy. I know I still have a way to go but I am shocked, I really wasn't expecting that. Thankyou to everyone for support/help/advice etc. Hope everyone is well!

So I have been to my diabetes check today and I got great news, I have managed to lower my Hba1c to 6.8 ! I'm thrilled about the level, even if I know there's still a lot to improve within my care due to hypos I get too often, but hoping to maintain the level with less hypos and the hypers that...

Over a year ago I started having a bad reaction to sugar or carbs or both, not really sure. I would get so uncontrollably tired that if the house was burning I would not be able to talk or move. My vision will blur, my speech will slur, and I will walk into things before I fall asleep. This will...

Hi, 8 Months ago I was tested for diabetes as I was having frequent UTIs and was worried it was being caused by diabetes and so the doctor made me take a blood test and rang me and told me I don't have it. I am having some symptoms which could be potentially caused by diabetes, could I have got...

Hi fellow diabetics I’ve just had my latest hba1c result and while it’s good and much better it’s not as good as I thought it might’ve been yet I feel I don’t have any options to take with it next. At this point last year my hba1c was the highest it had ever been 62/7.8%, this brought me to...

Hi All, A few of you may know me from previous discussion posts asking about type 2 diabetes in relation to medication and lactic acidosis, but I also have an interest in how type 2 diabetes is represented in the media. As I am now studying a postgraduate degree in Global Media and Culture at...

Hi everyone, I am new here and wanted to ask some help regarding blood sugar issues. A while ago I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and for some reason, this made me lose A LOT of weight, since my diagnosis and treatment I have slowly been able to gain the weight back which is great. However...

And that I'm now going to be paying the price. I am 22, and had type 2 diabetes for many years, but ate correctly, exercised more and became none diabetic roundabout almost a year ago. Still suffering from Pcos however, I still tested my blood sugars, and they were in lovely 5's, and would...

I have seen on there website that it says most likely not suitable for the role of police officer but needs to be assessed individually. Just confused as to why this discrimination still exists today really, because that is what it is discrimination. Just wondering if anyone has had any luck...
