The occupational therapist are supposed to be contacting me this week to arrange visit so maybe for the better if they see me like this doesn't feel like it knowSomeone should be helping, surely? Can your practice nurse not give you support?
I'm not very happy about you struggling like this. Something should be done!
My gp practice could definitely shame yours. They need shaming into helping. I think because you don't live alone your not as vunerable as others so they prioritize the elderly and more vunerable Ron. I guess this is the nhs now.
My partner has different problems so he is classed as vunerable. I guess all practices have their own way of doing things. Might be worth making an appointment with practice manage to find out WHAT your gp practice CAN do for you hun?
Morning Vicky , I was speaking to my brother at the weekend . His girlfriend is a practice manager down in Poole my home town and it's just as bad down there . One thing I was really shocked to hear was that they are closing the A&E department at Poole hospital and transferring everything to Bournemouth A&E , this to me is ludicrous . Bournemouth won't be able to cope . My old gp surgery has been put into special measures . Makes you wonder what is happening to our health service.Someone should be helping, surely? Can your practice nurse not give you support?

Wow. Mine always increases but I've seen some recent posts stating once your body gets used to the stress of the new exercise it starts lowering the bgs instead of increasing. Has your walking always lowered your bgs Anna?Well that was an exhilarating outing. My bg has dropped to 3.9 with my exertion in the frosty air, time for a cuppa methinks
Thanks Anna. I'm walking and constantly out of breath at mo but not due to building up exertion. I'm having a problem with breathlessness and dizziness. Cardiologist is investigating. I've never had breathing problems. My sister has asthma but not me. I've only been unfit once that I can remember. I know how that feels when your working your heart more to build up fitness and stanima. This is immediate breathlessness. Just getting up from rest. Strange, isn't it?Yes Vicky, my walking almost always lowers my bg but not usually by much 0.5-1.5 at most. My fbg today was 5.1 I had 1 slice wholemeal toast (from a small sized loaf) buttered, with a cube of cheese for breakfast at 8am approx then went for an hour's walk at 9.30am my 3.9 bg was taken at approx 10.45. I have noticed, however, if I am walking really fast or running up and down stairs a lot my bg can rise for a short period before dropping again. I usually walk 2x daily for 40mins with longer walks when I'm only walking once per day. I keep to a pace where I'm slightly out of breath but can still talk as I walk. That was a long answer, sorry! Perhaps the gym is too stressful/strenuous for your BG levels? Gentler exercise should be effective. Good luck! @ickihun
I don't mind admitting - I'm scared! I'm going to distract myself til results come through and just try and stay as active as I can. Lergies have gone. I feel, nearly a new woman! lolHopefully the cardiologist will get to the bottom of the problem Vicky, that must be quite frightening for you? @ickihun
Morning all....again awake till 2am then slept and up early this am grrrr
