GOOD AFTERNOON/EVENING.

Like your Avatar of the Snowdrops @asparagusp - I've read somewhere/someone on this forum is taking Vit K2? I have to watch what I take as In November had a medicine review with my GP (that was suggested by the Liver Specialist) some tablets got stopped, others got reduced and then some new ones got added.
My GP's concern was more focused on my HBA1C that had risen due to taking liquid Morphine and my recent immobility.
 
More lotions , potions and pills for Ron to take.
 
Evening all had my dermatology appointment today been given derma500 lotion to wash with every day fucibet steroid lotion to apply every day and fexofenadine tablets for the irritation so no doubt BG's will rise again .
Hope all are well and not suffering to much
 
28/1 - Good Afternoon Folks from a very wet and raining York.
Had a lay in this morning and was pleasantly surprised of my fasting result of 6.9, before bed it was 8.5 and I even managed a wee treat yesterday evening of a slice of Carrot Cake = .
I am hoping (?) If I can keep my fasting blood sugars under 7? from now on then I will be a Happy Bunny .
 
@Liam1955 are you still on the patches?
 
@tina_marie - Hi . That was my first 6.9 today and in a long time. I have been getting in the last week mostly 7's and then before a mixture of high readings, but that was due to the liquid Morphine - which have not had any for well over a week now. (Honest!).
I am wondering if the Naproxen has some influence on Blood Sugars? GP prescribed me Naproxen for the Osteoarthritis as well as the Butec 10 patch too.(For my Spine/Back pain)
For about a month now I stopped eating Breakfast and Lunch and only have 1 cooked Evening Meal, was afraid of putting on weight with not being as mobile with Spine, Leg, Ankle/Foot problems. But I did put on 4 lbs the other week - if I feel hungry during the day then I eat a Banana. I don't like ripe Bananas's but the more ripe they are the more sugar is in them apparently.
Last night I ate a slice of shop bought (R's treat) Carrot Cake about 8pm and before bed my blood sugar was 8.5 at 1.30am.
Is Ron getting high results? What tablets is he taking?

Some days double figures . I believe one of his readings was 15. Still on the same old stuff .

Has Ron reduced food intake with not been as mobile? If he is getting a lot of higher numbers - he might need to contact the Diabetes Nurse and/or his GP.

He's not really changed much . Not sure about today as I've been in bed with this cold. Don't want him getting this on top of everything else. Do you all see a proper DN as all Ron has seen is a nurse at the surgery who really isn't much help.
 
@tina_marie - Sorry to hear you are poorly - sending You a big hug and hope you get better soon .
Yes, I always see the Diabetes Nurse at my GP Surgery. I also go to the Hospital Diabetic Clinic and see the Consultant because I take Insulin everyday. But at the Hospital Clinic they only check my weight and lecture me to loose more weight.
Whereas at the GP Practise Diabetic Clinic the Diabetes Nurse checks my weight, my Urine, my Blood Pressure, my Foot Pulses, my Insulin injection sites, my Blood sugar results and a General Chat about Diabetes or anything else.
I am not sure? But, could Ron ask his GP for a referral to a Diabetic Clinic at the Hospital?
Hope this is of some help?
William .
 
Thank you William. Big hug to you as well. X
 
I agree with @Liam1955 . Ron should have some help with controlling his high bgs. I know lchf helps but insulin can really make a difference to those nasty very very high bgs due to steriods, illness, inactivity and stress/pain.
I think he would qualify for insulin due to current developments, however they will try Ron on all the meds first before insulin unless his pancreas has stopped working. Insulin is the last resort and many takers ADD weight on insulin therapy when they are insulin resistant (type 2).

Sending you massive hugs too, I've had this horrible hacking cough since last Thursday and it's doing my head in! Typically enough it's struck when I'm rushed off my feet so I haven't got time to rest, but at least I got a better nights sleep last night. My fbg was 8.1 yesterday and 5.9 this morning so you can see the difference it can make! Hope you feel better soon xx
 
Thanks hun, feeling better today. Still got the cold but been out shopping with Ron to take speedy for its test run. What a difference shopping is with someone in a wheelchair. Not only was it more comfortable for Ron but people were more inclined to step aside and let him pass. Where as if he was walking with his stick they would push past him and knock him over. I do hope that you feel better soon. X
 
Hi all my apologies to all that have tagged either me or Ron in posts but we are not getting notifications. Still problems with the Android app I fear. Hope everything has gone alright for you Vicky , have only just seen your posting on night owl. Ron has appointment at gps next Monday. Then 13th Feb at hospital for the pain clinic then March 17th at Queens hospital in Nottingham for his neurology and probably more to come after that . In three months time back to dermatologist. So yeah Vicky quite a few appointments already . only hope this time we can get things sorted .None of the appointments however have been requested by gp this is all Ron's doing.
 
Good Afternoon Folks ,
Hope everyone is having a good day? And the poorly people are feeling a little but better today = sending You a hug each .
Tomorrow having my Bloods done as I am seeing the Liver Specialist this Friday and not looking forward to that visit one bit!!! (Think he will give me a right B*ll*cking for not shedding the 1 stone in weight he suggested).

Will be interesting though to see what effect (if any?) the Milk Thistle tablets have had on my Liver Function?
Been taking the Milk Thistle tablets since October 2016 just 1 a day. After reading on this Forum about a Guy taking them and his Fatty Liver was no more after 6 months later.
Will update you all especially @Freema
 
@tina_marie - Hi. Mention to Ron to ask his GP next Monday for a referral to the Diabetic Clinic at the Hospital. Think Ron might needs to start making a list! But, He needs to have his high blood sugars looked into. W.
 
I took liquid Milk Thistle a few years ago. It was prescribed by my NHS (those were the days ..... ) homeopath. I didn't have a fatty liver but took it to detoxify it.
