Hi everyone, this is my first post. My name is Vernon Holbrook, I’m 62 and from Weston-super-Mare in Somerset, UK.


I’m now retired and have been living with Type 2 diabetes for 14 years.


I’m a big fan of prog rock music — Genesis, Yes, Camel, Pink Floyd, Hawkwind, The Moody Blues, and many more.


My current medications are:


  • Gliclazide 40mg
  • Metformin 1000mg
  • Lipitor 40mg
  • Dapagliflozin 10mg
  • Ramipril 2.5mg
  • Neupro 4mg transdermal patch

I use a Contour Plus Blue glucose meter for finger-prick testing.


My average readings are:


  • Past 7 days: 6.5 mmol/L
  • Past 14 days: 6.3 mmol/L
  • Past 30 days: 6.2 mmol/L
  • Past 90 days: 6.7 mmol/L

Looking forward to chatting with everyone and learning from the forum.
