Feeling fed up
Hi all, my first post on here. I’ve just left my doctors and my diabetic nurse has told me my latest HbA1c result is 66. It was 58 six months ago. She has said it is borderline but not classed as high and they won’t alter my medication at this time but will check again in six months time. I, however,

How bad is it for a type 2 diabetic to miss Metformin for 3 weeks?
I'm new here. I'm asking this question because my boyfriend has been unable to get his medication (due to an insurance problem) and his family doesn't seem too concerned. I want to help, since I think it may be unhealthy to miss medication to treat diabetes, but I don't know much about it. What can

Gliclazide
Hi to all my diabetes 2 friends. I would welcome your comments and experiences that i got taken off and put on this diabetic drug. I have used Metformin for 6 years. It never brought my blood sugars down to the recommended level and 8-10 was average, any lower and I felt very ill. Anyway, the side effects

PCOS, Metformin use and pregnancy
Hiya, I was wondering if anyone takes Metformin for PCOS? My question is when in pregnancy should you stop taking it, or just carry on? I'm sure our clinic recommend taking it until 15w, but I can't remember. Thank you xx

Sirolimus used for LAM, but not only
Well Metformin Rapamycin, Resveratrol are the new better-aging pharma trends..So they are selling those to people who want to rejuvenate. I don’t know honestly..In Swiss clinics they go like hot cakes..as well as stem cells. I am old-fashioned maybe but meds are meds, and they are for treatment ..

Berberine for leaky gut and Parkinson's ?
Several months ago I was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and have been looking for alternative treatments to anti arrhythmic drugs and surgical ablation usually prescribed for the condition. Berberine came up as a good alternative in some Chinese study https://www.hindawi.com/journals/bmri/2017/3146791

Yesterday’s Follow Up Appt...
...Finally! After 13 weeks. My consultant told me that my ovaries were VERY polycystic not just a little like I was told the day after surgery, so straight off I was annoyed. I had gone in to the appointment with the thought in mind that I was gonna ask him to prescribe me Metformin alongside Clomid

Type 2 Diabetic suffering excruciating pain from Peripheral Neuropathy in my feet and calves.

Metformin
Hi, I’m due to start IVF next month. My clinic has put me on a course of Metformin 1500 a day. I don’t have PCOS but I’m on the cusp for being a candidate for getting OHSS. Since I’ve upped my dose to 1500 I’m now hungry all the time, putting on weight around my stomach and having headaches. Has anyone

Best MO / Cancer Centres in Australia?
G'day. I'm currently receiving treatment for metastatic PC in Brisbane, which I think is probably the best SOC treatment available, but as many people on this site have suggested, it's a good idea to get a second / third opinion. I've read so many posts that recommend good MOs and Cancer Centres in
