Hi, my first Forum, had to happen one day.

I have just turned 74 and have Type 1 diabetes since 1995. First flagged for Type 2 in in February of 95 and started Gliciazide two months later. Started insulin the following August. Came out of the blue except for the sudden weight loss and looking back the telltale signs. Soon after being stabilized on insulin I had a couple of Laser treatment sessions for diabetic retinopathy. Subsequently I have had the lenses in both eyes replaced due to cataracts. I have also had Charcot’s foot which resulted in a sort of dropped arch in my right foot. Other than that all is fine the NHS keep an eye on me. I go to the Gym, walk as much as possible and watch my glucose levels closely, as you can appreciate.

 

[Chris24Main]

- List your five favourite films.
Again, recent watched this year favourites (can’t narrow down the full films of the past 60 years to five!)

The six triple eight
A quiet Place day 1
Ibelin
Rebel Moon part 1
Rebel moon part 2

You had me till Rebel Moon, seriously? - However, what can I say; I did watch both myself, though I had to go back and re-watch Seven Samurai as a bit of a penance...

 

[Janpan!]

I a 66-year-old female diagnosed with type 2 a couple of years ago. My hba1c at the time was 96 so they put me on 2g Metformin a day for a year. I had never had any symptoms but was a little overweight. I lost weight improved my diet and the hba1c dropped to 44. I remained on 1g metformin a day at my request as I hoped it would enable me to be less restrictive with my diet I also have osteoarthritis and over the past couple of years felt this was getting considerably worse but an osteopath suggested I check the side effects of metformin and sure enough muscle fatigue and aching is one of them. I came across this forum trying to research a bit more about that so here I am. It's nice to find somewhere where there are discussions about the various options rather than just the standard medical response of taking a tablet for everything and **** the consequences.
