COPD v Diabetes T2
I have been having trouble clearing congestion from my chest using antibiotics and steroids to clear an infection. I've received a lot of help from the good people here and by doing a lot of huffing & puffing. I have also been a type 2 diabetic from many years keeping things in check solely by watching

Good news
I've had B12 deficiency caused by metformin taken for Type II diabetes. I saw the GP last Friday and I seem to be successfully reversing the diabetes so she is taking me off the metformin! I've got a B12 injection due this Friday which I want to take. I just wonder how long it will take without metformin

Blood test results
My GP called yesterday to 'talk' about my results. Wants me to reduce Pred 15mg daily to 10mg. I'm free of pain about 95% time but still have some fatigue. CRP levels ok and other bloods normal but GP wants to restart Metformin at 1 x 500mg daily, increasing to 3 x 500mg daily by 3rd week, a medication

Diabetes gone?
I have type 2 diabetes. I have been treating my high blood sugar with insulin for the past six months. I have recently been experiencing a lot of hypoglycemic events. In light of this, I stopped using insulin. I have been testing my body/pancreas out and my blood sugar is completely normal. I know this

Mechanism of the prorelaxing effect of thyroxine on the sphincter of Oddi
Bile issues - as the paper says - are all too common in hypothyrodism. Although relatively old (14 years) this paper appears to claim a direct T4 effect - though if we looked in greater detail, it would obviously be important to know what effect T3 has in the same arena. [i]Scand J Gastroenterol.

Vitamin D3 deficiency
I've just had Dr on phone telling me I am Vitamin D deficient. He said my levels were under the NHS lab of 30 (which he says is their range for deficient) and they didn't even register. He is prescribing me 3200 D3, which after reading posts on here, I feel is not enough. I asked him if I should take

Metformin
I am in Stage 3 CKD. I also have insulin resistance and the endocrinologist put me on Metformin 500 mg 3x daily. Can I safely take this drug with no ill effects to my kidneys?

Type 2 Diabetes & Hashis
I have been posting a lot this week, but wanted to share this. I have been treated for Type 2 Diabetes for about 4 years, with Metformin. I was originally on two doses of 500mg a day (1,000mg), which my Dr increased to 2000mg a day last year. I found out this week that my B12 is insufficient and that

Introduction from a newbie
Hi, thought it was about time to introduce myself. I’m a 62 year old male, I consider myself to be fit and healthy, having said that I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes in 2003. I was fortunate enough to control it by diet initially but it wasn’t long before I needed medication. I currently take Metformin

Update on BH Bloods and GP visit
Just had a really surprisingly good GP appointment, I'm gobsmacked (I want to know what that done with my real doctor lol). He gave me a full half hour and despite his initial panic at my suppressed TSH he sat and listened and also read the extract from Dr Toft that I took along. We have come to an agreement

Metformin & the Epithelial–Mesenchymal transition [EMT]
New study below [1]. The title of this post may have put some off from reading, but the Epithelial–Mesenchymal transition [EMT] concept is fairly easy to grasp.

Uncontrolled diabetes
I m 36 and my fast sugar level is around 165. My pp is between 250 to 300. I've been diabetic for the last 2 years. I don't take insulin but take metformin 500mg twice daily and syzigum jambolum and gymnema Sylvester as homoeopathy but it is still uncontrolled. I don't eat rice and sugary products.

Anxiety while using Metformin
Hello, I've experienced worsening anxiety symptoms while using Metformin 1750 mg for PCOS. I got heart palpitations with panic. So I decided to go off that.
