Type 2 Life

Sounds like some improvement, Vicky - glad to hear it! xx
 
I'm feeling chirpy this afternoon!
I phoned for the results of my HbA1C test last week and it's dropped again to 41mmol/l (5.9%). The comment from the surgery was "Excellent control". Cholesterol's increased slightly (from 5.1 to 5.4) but HDL/LDL ratio has improved (now 1.6/3.2), and I've lost another 2kg. Slow weight loss, but at least it's heading in the right direction...
Still managing to dodge the meds - long live LCHF !!
 
Well done . X

I couldnt resist but call appointments. I'm due a echocardiogram but no booked appointment yet. I'm chilling out about it now. What will be will be. I can only do my bit.
 
Excellent. Well done you. I'd love to be med free. 2017 is my health year! so we'll see. I'm making my health my new job so god help it. lol With you and Anna @13lizanne as role models, i wont go far wrong. ♡♥♡
 
Well done Debs that's great news
 
Still fighting Vicky @ickihun waiting for the antibiotics to do there work
I wondered why I'm on codeine and you're not? But read up on co-dydramol and realised yours are codeine based. Much more effective too.
Maybe I only need codeine as I've never took painkillers before this affliction. Not even for period pain. No pain relief after babies births either. My sister pops paracetamol for a sniffle.
Maybe its done me some good?
My appendix burst and I cried with pain before hand then I had no pain when it burst. I thought I was cured. Ha ha
Always been a tough cookie til just recently. Now I cry like a baby. Ha ha
 
It's a man thing Vicky lol my restless leg syndrome is back now stopped other meds so will have to bring this up again next time at docs did half expect it but it's back with a vengeance used happen in my sleep but legs are kicking out as I type not easy not dropping my phone while my legs are going for it lol
 
Definitely nerves then. I've used amitriptyline for a shoulder and neck pain early in the year and it was very very effective. I don't use it now as codeine seems more effective with less zombie hangover. Very effective for restless leg syndrome I understand thou. Ask gp if any good for you?
 
Evening gang . Just a quick question but do any of you get small bruises on your stomach ?
 
Thinking of bringing it up with my pain doc when see him in Feb to see what he thinks .
Have had letter from queens hospital today saying should get my next neurology appointment in next 4 weeks so hopefully get to see a proper neurologist and not a locum and finally get some answers
 
That's the least should happen. I wish you the very best, always have.
I'm seeing my endocrologist in feb to agree to bariatric surgery, need this weight off, any how. It will hopefully guarantee a longer life with my kids. Maybe less pain and insulin too.
 
And me you Vicky and I know you will get there because your one of the strongest woman I have ever met
 
Good Morning, my friends, from PC.4 in Tate South Lambeth Library, Vauxhall, London,

I had 2 delicious slices of grilled cheese on toast for my breakfast this morning and just now before leaving my flat to come to the library I took my blood sugar and it was 6.1 Millimoles Per Litre.
 
Cheer up Johnny, patience! You have a life time in front of you, I am sure you will deal with the carbs in your own time
Never give up!
