Should I worry?
This is my first post to you. I have Polymyalgia Rheumatica and therefore am on 12.5mg Prednisolone every day. But it has put my Ha1c up to 51 and therefore I am now officially a person with type 2 Diabetes. But, I have no Diabetes symptoms and I feel very well and energetic in myself, even though

Cholesterol and Statins
Just had results of Cholesterol test which is 6.2 (up from 4.8 three years ago and pre PMR). Started a low carb diet as soon as prescribed Prednisolone and it has certainly stopped me from gaining. Weight but has meant that I have had to add more fat to my diet for energy. I am guessing that this has

Glucose, Glucose-Fructose, Dextrose - WTF????
So, this is an ongoing (albeit internal) debate for me on the safety of glucose, glucose-fructose and dextrose. I asked this question of our 'friends' at Coeliac UK and was told, by food labelling law, if the dextrose, etc., was derived from a wheat source it would have to be labelled thus. Now, I'm

One More Nightโ Phil Collins:- Songwriters: Philip David Charles Collins
Another great week, although the weather took a bit of a turn. That wet stuff from the sky came down. I forget what they call it since it has been that long since I have experienced it, oh yes, rain. I am not any the worse for the experience though. That great song by Blue Pearl comes to my mind

New to Type 2 Diabetes
Hi I am Stef - 62 years. Diagnosed with type 2 in November 2018. Was doing well getting my Hba1c reading from 54 to 51 with no medication before lockdown. Unfortunately since then due to isolation, comfort eating, drinking and no GP support, it has increased to 56. Have just been put on medication. Looking

Diet - my story so far!
When diagnosed with PMR...within 2 months I was diagnosed prediabetic. I was already overweight from steroids for lung issues a few years ago, and hadn't been able to shift the excess. I went onto the keto diet, while on 15mg steroids. I lost a stone in 7 weeks but as soon as I stopped it it went back

Statins and levo
I have been treated for hypothyroidism for several years now and have been stable for the last few. Given my latest cholesterol results - 8.2 mmol/l, up from 6.2 three years ago, of which HDL is 2.1 - Iโm assuming my GP is going to want me to take statins.

Researchers developing safe and affordable way to produce antibodies with aim of global access to treatment.
New method uses yeast to grow antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 and other viruses. The current outbreak of a rapidly spreading global disease has caused an urgent need for effective therapies. Many vaccines, however, pose logistical challenges; they must often be transported and stored at very low temperatures

Insulin and prednisolone problems
How do I manage my blood sugars on Prednisolone at 15 mg per day. I am a type 2 diabetic on insulin injections 4 times a day, plus Metformin 2 gms. My blood sugar levels are astronomical in spite of a low carb diet and exercise. Prior to my PMR diagnosis 7 months ago I was attending my gym 3 times per

Low carb rebel (inspired by Rosina1871's question of yesterday)
This was originally going to be a response to Rosina1871, but I then decided to make it a separate post as I would like to see other people's comments on my own experience. I too understood that 'a low carb diet is necessary when on steroids to avoid weight gain', so for a time I diligently followed

Type 2 diabetes medication shown to benefit asthma patients.
Type 2 diabetes patients who also have asthma are benefitting from a diabetes medication, typically given to help the pancreas produce more insulin, that also improves asthma symptoms and may reduce lung and airway inflammation. These types of medication โ GLP-1 receptor agonists โ are a newer class

Hi, been lurking a while & have read posts about this but TBH most of it goes over my head as I'm not used to the jargon. My wife & I started Michael Moseley's Low Blood Sugar diet and we're now coming towards the end of week 7. I've lost 10kg but have now been at 87 kg for at least a week and still

What should I do next ?
I'd be grateful for advice on my latest blood test results and recent health history about what I should be doing next. I have hypothyroidism with Hashimoto and the last year has been quite up-and-down. I am now taking 50 mcg/day of Levo (Accord). My health history and blood test results are in my profile
