Sub-q or IM?
I have a hard time tolerating b12 (both orally and in a shot) it makes my neuropsychiatric symptoms worse. For the past 3 weeks, I have found that I can tolerate 100 mcg per day. I know that’s not much, but at least I am getting some in. So it takes me 10 days to get a full 1,000 mcg. I have been doing

Hello all! I'm new to fasting and have been doing the 16:8 now for 5 days. Finding it OK so far and breakfast is my meal skip as it suits my current 'lockdown' daily routine. I'm looking to 16:8 to hopefully help me to end a lifetime of disordered eating, yo-yo dieting and bingeing. Does anyone have

Newbie just started chemo
Hello everyone, I started chemo yesterday. I'm on doxetaxelle and cyclophosphamide. I have to inject lonquex today. I'm a diabetic and use insulin every day but this injection makes me a bit nervous to be honest, I'm just unsure. Is it painful. I'm a newbie, so any help would be much appreciated.

28-day Prescribing - Evidence
For many years now, there has (in the UK) been a near-universal imposition of 28-day prescribing. There is, quite simply, no rational basis for this policy in relation to long term medicines on repeat. There is incoherency where we are told that we can only have a 28-day supply of a medicine even if

Diabetics are Vulnerable to Covid19- Precautions to be taken
From the data so far, it appears that people with Diabetes tend to get infected easily by Covid19 unless adequate precautions are taken...and especially if the Diabetic is more than 60 years, the risk further increases. While research is not very clear the reason for such vulnerability, but the experts

Noake's talk re

/Gerald Reaven. I posted the previous talk (and this with others to follow) in the hope of reassuring those still with doubts that a high fat diet can be healthy when everything they've leaned screams the road to follow is paved with sugar and refined carbohydrate.

Just a thought on coronavirus and medication
I am wondering if some of the older folks who aren’t making it are dying because they are not being given their medication for other illnesses. Many have 2-3 underlying illnesses but would the doctors treating the virus give people their insulin shots? Or heart medication? Or even know what drugs they

Type 2 Diabetes potential home remedy cure
Type 2 diabetes (also called diabetes mellitus) results from the perfect storm of not enough movement, too much of the wrong foods, emotional stress, lack of sleep, toxins, and genetics.

Hello everyone, thank you for having me.
I have been diagnosed 17 years ago. I have been in denial the whole time. Even though I was on insulin x2 with pregnancy. Am still on medication. I find it hard to accept I am diabetic and mostly forget.
