Type 2's: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning?

Well done on your MOT @dianagrace , shame about the GP. He hadnt heard of Forxiga, yet made presumptions over what it was for? At the very least he should have said he wasn't an expert on it and would check it out. But as you say, if he's now off to ask his dietician ...
 
Just reading the info page on this site and it isn't actually licensed in England as a sole treatment , supposedly to be taken with Metformin in those who can't tolerate the likes of Glicazide. Though I know @kimbo1962 is only on it. It does apparently aid weight loss as excess glucose excreted so those calories lost. Why do you particularly want to take it?

Thanks for that.


I'm on my first pack from that batch and, thus far, I haven't had too man oddities, so here's hoping!

I've been using that batch and occasionally I got a strange outlier but it's certainly better than the batch ending in 56... I only ever order 5 at a time in case I get a nasty batch.
 


Yes, my daughter does her Lemon Drizzle Cake.
I eat it

Rain and hail in buckets.

Luckily I had time to complete my morning walk first.

Missed this when I mentioned your walk in a post I made earlier today - following your very wet pictures of car boats... the rain has made its way to the UK - a very sodden Preston in Lancashire - but we're on high ground where I live - would take a Noah event to flood us
 
Go Utd - my partner's team of preference. Mine is Preston North End - we are in earshot of the stadium but I digress from the question your post posed - What's a "pay bar"?

Not far from me then. I'm in Clitheroe.
 
Down from 5 to 4,6 between waking up and an hour later when setting out for walk. Will have some fruit to prevent further drop
 

That's interesting, thank you @cold ethyl . I did tell GP I'd heard it worked well with Metformin but he said he doesn't want my bs to go any lower and doesn't want to prescribe any drug for weight loss only. I said my weight had plateaued and I wanted to lose a few more lbs before my son's wedding in January, so he offered me a gym referral!! I politely declined as I already belong to one and am working with a personal trainer again.

I think the plateauing is getting to me as I'm not seeing anything for my efforts - weight-wise. Energy levels are still increasing and I'm like a wound up spring but the scales are still stuck.

Good luck with the Newcastle in the the New Year. I don't think its for me - I'm definitely a LCHF convert

Yes, well done @dianagrace. I read on another thread somewhere that a GP had never heard of Forxiga.

Thank you both. To be fair, Rod, he asked me what Forxiga did and I said I'd heard it worked very well with Metformin in lowering bs and aiding weight loss. He says I'm already below the NHS target for bs and doesn't want me to go any lower. His opinion is that low bs can be as dangerous as high bs (talk to the hand!)

Yup
