TTC frustrations!
Hi! I'm new to this so please forgive me! My husband and I have been TTC for 2+ years - diagnosed with PCOS in 2011 - have been on Metformin 2G/500mg per day for 5 years and currently undergoing follicle tracking & hormone tests. Feeling really down in the dumps (more than usual!) - everyone around me

Dapagliflozin or not?
I have T2 diabetes; hypertension; polymyalgia (PMR) and have lymphoedema in my legs. My blood readings are raised artificially by having to take steroids for the PMR (4.75 years and counting). Recent Hba1 is 8.7% and I use metformin, Levermir and Novarapid as controls. My GP has recently tried to prescribe

Are You Happy with Your Type 2 Diabetes Medication?
Are You Happy with Your Type 2 Diabetes Medication? If you have type 2 diabetes, the most common type of diabetes, it’s important to manage the condition. Uncontrolled blood sugar increases your risk of developing serious and even life-threatening health problems such as heart disease, nerve problems

Dr freaking out due to High T3 & blood sugar!
Hi, just got back from gp and she says although I have no ketones in my blood I have very high blood sugar!? Finger prick test today was 16. She says she wants me on metformin and that I have to go to hospital! She wants me to stop taking T3 as well as I am on a high dose as I'm thyroid hormone resistant

Type 1 or 2???
Hi everyone. My sister was recently diagnosed with diabetes. She was put on Metformin. For the past couple of weeks, she has been having horrible nausea and not feeling very hungry. Today she went to see the nurse at her surgery and was told she could be type 1 and not type 2 as originally told.

Ovulating?
Hi all I have pcos and been on metformin to try and conceive. This week I had an internal scan around the time they expected ovulation. There was no evidence of ovulation but they could only see one of my ovaries. I now have to have a blood test a week before my period for progesterone levels. Will

PCOS or eptopic pregnancy? ☹️
I’ve had PCOS for 5 years, been ttc for 4 years and been on Metformin for the past 4 months. My periods have been regular but I have just had a really heavy bleed, a week early. I’m worried that it might be an eptopic pregnancy and don’t know what to do? Could just be PCOS and I’m being dramatic. It
