megace metformin combo works!
Hello ladies, In my earlier post I stated that my mum's CA 125 was increasing 5 to 10 to 11.6 in span of 6 months. Also last month ultrasound showed multiple focal lesions on her spleen. Doc prescribed megace 40mg thrice a day also due to increased blood sugar lever 1000mg metformin. To our surprise

Have I got Pernicious Anaemia ?
I was diagnosed by my GP as having Pernicious Anaemia around 5 years ago, I assume this was after one of my regular blood tests for type 2 Diabetes. Since then I have been having 1ml. injections of Hydroxocobalamin / Vitamin B12 at the surgery, originally every 12 weeks. However, as I didn't seem to

Is there any replacement to metformin to get around B12 issue with it?
I have been on metformin for about 11 to 12 years. Recently, my B12 readings are less than normal. Read metformin causes B12 deficiency. For the last few years, I have been taking meformin 250mg 3 times a day right after meal. My latest Hba1c is 5.02. Average glucose (MBG i think) is 97. FBS is 97. Please

Nurse review
went for my diabetic review with the practice nurse (I had to concede and come out of denial with a HbA1c of 70 and start metformin ), She gave me a bit of a stern word when I said I'd stopped my statin and said I was putting myself at risk of heart attack and stroke from the diabetes. She said I needed

Metformin & Quercetin - Synergy?

Confuse about PCOS
I was told I have polycystic ovaries, last year, after a miscarriage in 2016, it didn't show on blood test, but on internal scan it shows, My period has been very regular until the last 7 months. I was prescribed metformin, but due other health complication I was advise to stop by my GP as it was interfering

Doctor unwilling to prescribe combined Pill
Hi, my daughter saw her doctor today to discuss the consultants recommendations and while it was agreed she could now take Metformin and Spironolactone the doctor refused to prescribe the combined pill because of her BMI level. He said that as it was over 30 he was not allowed to give it. He said she

Skeletal muscle fatigue and post-exertional malaise are key symptoms of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis ( ME/CFS). We have previously shown that AMPK activation and glucose uptake are impaired in primary human skeletal muscle cell cultures derived from patients with ME/CFS in response to electrical pulse stimulation

Shall I seek advice or wait?
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I have been on a plan to help with portion of food to help me. I’ve been on this plan for almost a week. I’ve cut out all sugary foods and drink and have began snacking in fruit and veg. I’ve also started to walk with my step counter. However I feel as it’s not
