Type 2 Life


I'm sure your hubby is happy supporting you. Relationships are all about give and take. I supported my OH when he had serious depression, now he supports me when I have the 'sod diabetes' days, he asks me what my FBG is and generally looks after me. Just keep going, you are doing so well and personally really appreciate the support you have given me x
 
I'm upping my metformin to 2x500mg twice daily this evening. Less indulin again for me. I'm delighted.
Wouldnt it be great if I can get off insulin altogether?
I know dr bernstein believes we should use a little to prevent beta cell burn out but it would be nice to be injections free.
Starting a walking club in August but also on holiday sometime over the 6 weeks too.
Swimming has been aborted due to household bill increases. We prefer the internet and tv extras for all 4 of us rather than 2 going swimming. For now.
I'm convinced I've reversed my diabetes before but maintaining good health is all I can do right now.
 
Not sure if will see her again Vicky she has referred me back to my GP with me rejecting the statins .

Afternoon. FBG 7.7 mmol/l. Had a severe pounding headache and facial pain and tenderness in my left temple last night. It has been coming on and off sporadically today. I think my sinuses on my left side are infected again. I'm not a headache kind of person, never get them unless I have a high fever, tooth abscess or severe sinusitis. I've also never had a migraine either. If it keeps up I will see my GP.
 
Oh noooooo! That's not good news.... it sounds as if it may not have cleared up properly last time, despite all the antibiotics. It may be a good idea to see your GP anyway, rather than waiting for it to get a good hold again, because if it does it will be harder than ever to sort out.
Big hugs xx
 
I've been referred to ENT last month but could take ages for an appointment @debrasue. Thanks for the hugs.
 
I should have mentioned I had nose and nasal septum surgery 25 years ago due to injury and methinks this might be the problem.
 
Kick up a fuss and make their lives a misery - the squeakiest doors get the most oiling!!
Unless my temperature goes above 38C or I start getting neurological symptoms I don't think there's much I can do.
 
As you have noticed my humour has disappeared today....it will reappear lol.
 
Been getting a lot of headaches too which is unusual for me. Been putting it down to sinuses and weather but think it might've been mentioned in side effects of pregabalin and new BP meds
See how it goes.
Hope yours clears soon Eddie
 
And ask if you can have a probiotic or something to help keep thrush at bayvif you do need them again. Someone, somewhere mentioned there is an additional med you can take...but who when or where.....
 
Good evening, my lovely friends on the www.diabetes.co.uk Type 2 Life Forum,

I came to the library this evening to use the Internet because it is open to 8:00 Post Meridian.

I had a difficult morning craving nicotine, feeling nauseous and dizzy and smoking cigarette butts oweing to no money due to financial restrictions of my corporate appointeeship.

My Carer came at 2:33 Post Meridian and bought me 2 loaves of Kingsmill white bread, 2 blocks of butter, 1 jar of Marmite, 5 bags of frozen hash browns, 15 eggs, 1 bag of frozen roasting potatoes, 1 whole chicken, 1 box of Crunch-Nut Cornflakes, 1 large jar of coffee, 1 bag of sugar (for visitors, I have sweeteners), 1 bottle of handwash, 2 bottles of shower gel, 1 bag of shaving razors. In the freezer I have got 1 whole bag of frozen mixed vegetables, 2 bags of frozen cauliflower florets, 2 bags of frozen brussel sprouts, and 2 pork chops. I am going to make cauliflower rice with some of them.

I also ate a doner kebab, boiled potatoes at another time of the day, and 1 bowl of crunchy-nut cornflakes with semi-skimmed milk.

Have a nice Thursday evening, my friends. You're all very dear and special to me. Tomorrow I am off to see my GP about a cyst that has come up on the instep of my right foot.
 

Thanks for the update Johnny...I'm getting ready for the footie on tele tonight.....Just catching up with friends and contributions in this wonderful community, like you before it starts!
