Guys. Here across the pond we have been told that having diabetes one would expect to have complications with Covid, but they do not tell us why. From what I can figure out it is the complications from diabetes which is causing the problem. I have made sure that my blood sugar are the correct...

Hi all! Been diagnosed for about 2 and a half years now but have been ignoring it. I'm now very worried about it and have previously been worried about seeking help from doctors and struggle to be able to come to terms with my diagnosis. I'm worried about my future and was seeking first step...

Hi All, it’s been some time since I’ve been here! I’ve been type 2 for about 6 years now. Unfortunately I’ve had a bit of a nose dive recently and as such I’ve been taken off the tablets and I’m now on Abasaglar (12 units once a day) and Fiasp fast acting. Plus 1 glucophage tablet per day...

Looking for Type 2 person’s experience with moving onto slow acting insulin. I’ve been diabetic T2 for 20+ years. Initially on meds, including metformin. Managed to stop glicazide, sitagliptin and now just take Metformin. My Hbaic Is slowly creeping up. Been on LCHF for a long time with a...

So I was recently diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes approx 2 months ago. Apparently according to the symptoms it seems that I have had diabetes for about a year or two. The constant thirst and constant bathroom visits apparently is a big sign of it. During those years I had been drinking a lot so...

Hello all, I guess I never got to properly introduce myself, but thought, after my last HbA1C, this would be a good opportunity to share my story for others. I was diagnosed with Diabetes back in August 2019 and have since then followed a LCHF diet (almost hitting keto ranges at times, but not...

My mum bought me a book called ‘The Reverse Diabetes Diet’ and it’s basically a vegan plan. I’m currently completely unmanaged and my sugars are out of control so thought I might give it a go for January as a few of my colleagues are attempting Veganuary. Has anyone else tried a vegan diet and...

So last Monday afternoon, I had an appointment with a diabetic nurse at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital. Being a dietitian, she talked at length about… yes, you guessed it diet and food. What she did not talk about, was my diet, and what food I was eating! On her screen see could...

While we were visiting with my mom yesterday, she came up with a whole box of chocolate praliné's.

Hi. I haven't been able to sleep on and off for 2 years now. GP told me to look online for tips and listen to calm music. I thought maybe it's my diabetes but I found that most people with high blood sugar readings fall asleep quite easily. My blood sugars have been playing up for 5 years and...

I just had my annual review with the diabetes nurse at my GP practice. All was fine, my results were spot on apart from my lipids, which are OK with me, but a little high on their guidelines. She asked if I was still taking statins, I said no and she didn't pursue it. However, she suggested...

I was diagnosed with TYPE 2 Diabetes last year, suspected had few years though. I'm honestly very scared and already have neuropathy and am afraid of losing my eye sight.

We all know Diabetes T2 is an lifestyle issue and more or less most of the affected ones are those who are over weight and not very active. None the less, if we can decide to change ourselves and challenge ourselves our body can do miracles. For me even jogging for 100meter was a herculean...

I've just gone to order my monthly prescription and all my lancets and tests strips have completely vanished from the order page. Obviously, I cannot contact the surgery until Monday, but has this happened to anyone else/ My insulin is still on there, as too are my other medications. Seems a bit...
