Not coping

Just another piece of info you all may not want... A number of inhalers for asthmatics have thrush in the throat as a possible side effect. My son was told to gargle after using his inhaler to prevent this....

I was put on an inhaler too, and told to rinse. I didn't know why, but now I do. It is Symbicort. I noticed it also drops my BS a lot. Prednisone on the other hand raised it a lot.
 
Wow thanks so much for all these replies. Everyone is so nice on here! Now we're into January I need to go back to the diabetic nurse for a blood test (argh needle phobic!) initially on diagnosis the nurse wanted me on a much higher dose of metformin but because I was eating well and being good I kept going low rather than high so we settled for the one a day, plus it was causing me an awful lot of stomach issues.

What are others on dose-wise with metformin and gliclazide?

Ps. Buy canestan soothing liquip soap. It's £7.99 a bottle out of boots but it works immediately. I have used 2% cream but ended up on 6mths worth of pessaries on prescription whilst i got insulin at the right dosage and far lower bgs.
Let me know once you have thrown those high carbs out which are causing it.

The best thing I have used for athletes foot is called Once, which you only need to apply guess how many times. Unfortunately, I seem to remember they asked me if I was diabetic, which I wasn't at the time, so may not be suitable.
 
@Petaluk give your local chemist a ring and ask which one is suitable for diabetics and your meds, if any.
Mine are great.
Let me know how you get on. :)

Actually called Lamisil Once.

Not sure why they asked that. DN recommended it a couple of years back and it worked fine. It or something similar is available on prescription; but, since I couldn't get an appointment at the time, I ended up buying it.
