Hi Liam my fingers are crossed for you, lets hope it will be the one that works for you. My old osteopath use to stick pins in as she trained in acupuncture however the best results I got was from joint manipulation and she use to use her elbow a lot., i have to say she did work miracles somedays.@DR123 - I know only too well about Sciatica, it comes and go's with me. Have you ever thought about Acupuncture? I had a course of it on prescription from my GP some years ago (not sure if they would prescribe it now - with cutbacks?) It did not work every time for me, but when it did I was pain free for a good 24 hours.
Like You @Stallen I also have Herniated Disc's = L4/5 & L5/S1 it was my 2nd MRI Scan in June 2014 that revealed I have Arthritis in my spine. And just to update you I begin next Tuesday 29th my 3rd Biological Drug of Cosentyx, so fingers crossed this works for me.
I've had a few awkward sugar free biscuit moments, when someone has gone out and bought sugar free biscuits trying to be nice and to cater for me, only for me to go on to explains the whole net carbs turns to 100%glucose so I can't have them.This is about refusing cake ... this morning I went to a meeting of a local history group, for the first time, i.e. meeting 8 people I've never crossed paths with before. At the mid-class coffee break time, someone came round handing out slices of home-made cake, and I refused it, saying I couldn't eat cake. At first it was assumed I had some sort of allergy - gluten, milk, etc. I said, no, I was T2, on no medication, with my condition managed by eating as little carbohydrate foods of any sort as possible. Well, what an interesting response! I was obviously a first for anyone like this for the group to come across. Some of the group knew other diabetics, but no-one who didn't eat any sort of cake! An interesting experience.
@paula.nolan42 - That is a fantastic result, bet you are so chuffed. Continue what you are doing, Well Done YOUThat number 43 puts you in the prediabetic category - Just!!! (42 to 47 is prediabetic category).
@doolallylady - Karen, like the bacon slicer that was funnyBut, it's all at the front on my belly, I have 'average sized' arms and legs with not any fat and I inject the Insulin daily in my belly. I've got a couple of months left before I am due for my Hospital Diabetic Review - and I will be eating salads in the summer, so there's hope still!!
