Should I seek medical advice
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a few years back and I’ve been taking the slow releasing metformin and alogliptin. Periods Have been ok, but for some reason my periods has become late and I don’t know why

Painfull Mouth

But the pain in my mouth is not going away I had to find tooth paste with no mint at all and Colgate has a watermelon one so that was a bit better. When you look in

Gestational Diabetes help
I have just been told I am on the cusp of having gestational diabetes so I am having to monitor it over the next few days. What are other people's experience of this? Did many of you have to have insulin injections? Or did you take metformin?

My periods are massively irregular and I suffer from acne. My bmi is in normal range and my hirutism is manageable. I am just wondering

Balancing diabetes with PD
Between a rock and a hard place. My husband is 26 years into PD. He is now also pre diabetic. How can you balance what foods to eat. Too many carbs turn into sugar and too much protein stops PD meds working properly. He tried Metformin but felt it was affecting his PD. The more carbs he has the more

COC Protocol
Has anyone tried the COC Protocol for breast cancer? They prescribe repurposed combinations of existing licensed medications that are used to treat conditions other than cancer. I gather they are off -patent drugs that aren't worth the drug companies time because they are unable to profit from them.

Hi Everyone I've been a member here for a number of years but it's been a while since I last logged in. I want to scream in frustration, really! I was 22 when I got PA, and self-injected (monthly) for almost all that time, with the support of my Practice Nurse.) Then NICE changed it to 3 monthly! I tried

Not the news I wanted
Well - that’s a bit of a bummer - following my recent set of blood tests, I received a phone call from the surgery; in a rather too enthusiastic voice (I thought) I was told ‘you are officially diabetic......‘ ‘Your previous result was 48 and your last one was 52 - I’m putting that down as steroid-induced

Repurposing drugs, do they work on NSCLG?
Have been told about taking Atorvastatin, Metformin, doxycycline and mebendazole either during or after chemo to lessen the chance of it recurring. Anyone got any thoughts on this? does it work for lung cancer? Thanks Ian

RLS only when lying down
I have been having horrible bouts of RLS within 10 minutes of falling asleep. I don't have them all day and then as soon as I go to bed I am jolted awake by what feels like little shocks in my legs. This can go on until 4am when I usually fall into a deep sleep. I am type 2 diabetic and on metformin
