Something else he not said on here he's lost half a stone in a week.

Been worse since he had the patches. Although I have noticed it before on and off. The cold symptoms we think we're a side effect of the patches .

See how his night goes but if you are in any doubt call 111. Their there to help. Hugs from me.

He will if his sugars are not right. Is he having his 3 meals with testing before and 2hrs later? Is he off his food?

I need to speak/post him tomorrow. Tell him , we need a chat! Tell him I need him to test. Its important. Decent gp will not be happy either.
Let him sleep but tomorrow. Me and him will definitely will be having a little chat.

I'm in bed. I've managed to go all day without a sleep. These painkillers are helping. Only felt chest ache once, all day.
I hope @Liam1955 is in far less pain. Sweet dreams ♡♥♡

I had cold symptoms on those patches, and nausea.

Ron's had the same with the nausea. He says he more worried about the breathing

I think you should call 111 for some advice; difficulty in breathing MAY be a side effect of buprenorphine and MAY indicate his body is over-sensitive to the drug. I would definitely seek some qualified medical advice on this, sooner rather than later.

Trouble sleeping and weight loss could also be down to the patches, although I know Ron has had trouble sleeping for a while. The patches may not help that though....

He says it's the pain that keeps him awake.

Does he think you're type 1?

No ... he is wondering whether my diabetes was as bad as he thought or something as there was such a difference from diagnosis 8 months ago (141% off the scale) to 40% now ....

This is down to all your hard work @magsiesss . Well done. I've discovered recently, anything can come along to interfer with that hardwork but for most never or very rarely never. So it seems.
Enjoy your good health and try and enjoy your hard work so it just feels natural to do. The longer the better. Keep smiling. You're definitely a winner, in my book! Well done. Keep it up.

He goes back to the clinic in February I guess that's to see how he is going on with them. All the meds he has taken so far have only taken the edge off the pain. Worse bit of pain for him I think is when his back cracks . He's not able to move . X

How is he today?

His reply ''same old".

It must take 3 months to see how a new medication is reacting. 3 months does ring a bell. However can he not have codeine like me?

It's says not to use other meds with this plus I think codeine makes him sick.
