Type 2 Life

Hi. Evening, not had a good evening, headache - think my sinuses might be flaring up again but my BMs were 10.7 mmol/l at 7pm so might be that. Very tired and off to bed...last day then holidays ! :)

No, I've never been to York, or Durham for that matter. I've passed through them on the train whenever I've been to stay with my best pal, Michael, in Morpeth - does that count? (He actually lives in East Thirston, about halfway between Morpeth and Alnwick.)
Yes! We could hijack William and Michael too - we'd have a ball!!

When? Let me know! No Spouses then? :D
 
@ickihun - Vicky, Practise Diabetic Nurse says I cannot add another 500mg Metformin because I am taking the Maximum daily dose of 2000mg a day. But, It was suggested to increase my Insulin by 2 units every 2 - 3 days. Great - so that means I will end up putting on weight now????
Had my Scan and I thought it was a Liver Ultrasound? It was an Abdominal Ultrasound Scan and results will be sent to Liver Specialist and await to hear from him. So, for the next 2 weeks that's it no more appointments till the 9th July to see GP for Check Up on my Knee. William x
No @13lizanne on the threads today? Hope you are not poorly my dear Anna? Would you let us know, how you are - please?:)

You need to take supplement r-ala, it reduces your insulin need.
I'm running out but once ive another batch bought I'll send you a few days worth to try.
It can reduce your insulin need by a third, in some people.
Ive been lapsydaisy taking mine but needs to be taken with food. It does work.

Oh yes! Just as soon as I can persuade my other half that it's a good idea for me to go out on the razz 'oop norf' with you crazy cats! Piece of cake - negotiations shouldn't take any longer than those for Brexit, so get your bags packed - I'll be on the 17.15 into York on the 2 July 2018. xxx

My Rheumatoid arthritis has hit me with vengeance over the past couple of days due to stopping my RA injections pre-operation and post operation, in total I've been without treatment for my RA for over a month.

I struggled along yesterday, but by 2am this morning, I'd lost the ability to move without causing immense pain to my Right hip and surrounding area, I wasn't due to start retaking until at least 2 weeks time, lucky I live less than a minute from my GP surgery, dosed up on tramadol, I hobbled in for an emergency appointment was seen by the GP Within 2 minutes of speaking to the receptionist, GP checked my wounds and hips told me to use my injection today....so glad I didn't tough it out until next week when I was scheduled to see a GP or wait 2-3weeks before injecting again.

Hopefully that I've injected again, it will now settle down my RA and i can feel better and go back to a more sensible diet, hopefully thereafter gain the beneficial effect to my T2 again.

@Stallen I'm sorry you have had to cope without our support.
Next time if you're in doubt call gp. As soon as no pain relief and too much pain.
Does anyone check up on you or call you regularly? A good neighbour?
Everyone needs help now and again.
A community nurse might check on you just after an op. Any sign?
 
@liam1955 thanks it tends to act fairly quickly, I've been really lucky not had a major flare up in years I probably beat my personal worst 33mins from bed to bathroom, not counting the 1+ hours trying to get out the bed.

@ickihun thanks, I'm currently until fully healed from the op in our spare room, I have a partner but I refuse to wake her up at 2am on workday, I have quite a few strategies for coping with pain but unfortunately every so often there's a bit of a meltdown, I do get plenty of support I saw the nurse this Weds, and was booked in to see my GP next weds, plus my girlfriend texts from work and I let her know what's happening during the day, up until last night things had been pretty much way better than everyone had predicted, I've no bruising or bleeding, wounds have heard in double quick time, it was just the usual nagging joint pain.
Plenty of good niebhours, but typically I don't like bothering anyone as I'm a self sufficient type, if it's not life threatening then I'll cope and 9/10 I do.

Thanks again
