I have just been diagnosed with shingles for the fifth time, that's 3 times as a schoolboy, and twice since I had the shingles jab 3 years ago. I must have already had chicken pox as a child. What's interesting is that the GP has prescribed amitriptyline for chronic neuralgia (this happens with...

I was diagnosed with Type 1 about a month ago after going undiagnosed for a very long time (my healthcare team reckon 3 years) and in the last couple of weeks I’ve developed diabetic neuropathy which has been extremely painful. Does anyone have any tips for managing the pain? The doctor I spoke...

I would appreciate some genuine ideas/thoughts about this. I probably know what I need to tackle, but my bogeymen fears are creeping in...ie. I'm NEVER going to get off these meds. And as I've added on the last thread I posted about being back here, humbly, I'm frustrated with what I think is...

I am back, frustrated, but still trying. I am suffering from neuropathy as well as metatarsalgia in BOTH feet and have seen foot specialists in Manchester a number of times. No one can address this. I KNOW I need to lose weight. I'm at 230 lbs for a 5'5" woman. It's hard. If I really think about...

Hello, I’m very new to this so I don’t know how to handle anything. I recently developed chronic tingling (it never stops and is very frustrating) in my feet and I just want to know if this is normal? Will this stop if I get my BG in control? Or does it (the stopping) happen gradually? Or will...

I have an appointment with the doctor today. For the last 2 weeks I have felt like there is a mobile phone attached to my feet and someone is calling them. To begin with this was a slight annoyance, but now with every 'buzz' there is painful pins and needles. I have obviously asked Dr Google and...

It's been a while , but since my terrifying waking glucose of 33.1 - I've been a (relatively) good girl - taking my tablets as advised; I have the odd sweet thing - but trying to get into better behaviours such as eating during the day etc. My last HbA1C was non-diabetic level. Over the last...

Hi guys I was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes two months ago with a hbAc1 result of 88 - I've since been on metformin, sitaglyptin and stuck to major lifestyle changes and brought it down to 57. My consultant said I could even reverse it if i continue the current routine. However - about five...

Hello, my last hb1ac was 7.4 All my previous tests were below 7 I have been type 1 diabetic for 7 years. My recent tests didn’t show any kidney problems but I am always worried about my kidneys. How long does it usually take to develop kidney disease with people with type 1 diabetes? Thank you!

Hi. I have Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy. I have been switched from Gabapentin to Pregabalin for the pain. I also use a TENS machine daily. I have been feeling tired on this Med for a few weeks now and wondered if anyone else had this and did it resolve or not ? I feel the pain is more...

Hi guys! So I’m new to this forum I’m 25 years old and was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes back in 2013, just before my 21st birthday. My mother is also a type 1 diabetic (since the age of 5, now 48) and has had many of the complications, to name a few, dialysis, amputation and heart problems...

I was diagnosed about 1 year 10 months ago type 1. My control has been poor enough ranging anywhere from hypo to the high teens. I was really embarrassed and in denial about it. I also smoked which I've just given up. About a week ago I started experiencing warm hands at night and my feet get...

Hi everyone I have had Type 2 Diabetes for about 15 years now and I've been suffering from terrible Neuropathy in my feet which, to anyone who doesn't know, is like someone with a knife stabbing my feet all night. I am not able to get enough sleep and I'm reluctant to keep taking the painkillers...

I have only lived in UK a year but I am already an expert at complaining about the weather, a popular English pastime. I complain about the weather and my ****** job and the dating scene in London and it feels great… it makes me feel exactly like everyone else. I get to be the proverbial...
