I have been diagnosed with NAFLD whilst having a scan. My GP says it’s connected to my type 2 diabetes. He as revered me to a diabetic specialist at my local hospital. This was 4 weeks ago and I haven’t heard anything. Do I need to push this or wait, I’m not sure what fatty liver is. Thank You

Low blood sugar
Has anyone been experiencing blood sugar crashes at times. Recently I have been having low blood sugar attacks mostly at around 5.00 when I am doing my afternoon dog walk. It results in most hypo symptoms and a blood test showed my blood sugar down to 3.6 mml. I told the rheumatologist during my telephone

High cholesterol
I have recently signed up the Our Future Health programme. I was invited along for a blood test and a finger prick cholesterol test. The cholesterol result came back as 10.14 and I was told to go to my GP. I had a cholesterol blood test at my doctors surgery in July and it came back as 6.1. I thought

PMR with type 2 diabetes
I had type two diabetes before I was diagnosed with PMR and I think this is why my GP wants me to get down as quickly as possible from prednisolone as it affects my blood sugar level. For the last three months I have been going up and down because I just cannot seem to get rid of the pain. I got as

Wasting—losing muscle mass
I have lost almost 30 lbs since Nov, but I recently learned only 11 pounds were fat. My lower arms and legs are skin and bone at 146 lbs. Am on diabetes meds, and just got off Mounjaro. I am tapering steroids (arms and legs good and bruised). But I understand steroids can cause wasting. Any

Prediabetes disgnosis
My AIC is at 6 which is borderline to diabetes. I am taking steps to modify my diet and lose the weight I gained during COVID and while on PRED. I tapered off PRED THIS June. I have a family history of diabetes so I am aware that while my siblings were diagnosed in their 50's I have postponed the problem

Homeopathic treatment
I've lived with ataxia for around ten years and its grown progressively worse. Contemporary straightforward here's your prescription' medicine seems to have no place in its treatment.

Sensitive post - the end of the journey!
Hi everyone, 6 weeks ago, after 7 rounds of egg collection and 2 transfers (this was my second transfer), my son was born at 37 weeks via c-section due to placenta previa, gestational diabetes, risk of pre-eclempsia and 'my age'. I finally became a mother at 46 (with my 42 year old egg) ! The baby

Tapering well so far.
Down to 8 mgs methylpred. No probs so far. Going down to 6 tomorrow. I realize that this is more of a drop than recommended. I can raise and use both arms and hips haven’t frozen. Can sleep. Also, good news on queasiness from diabetes meds. Changed to Mounjaro from Ozempic. Queasiness less

Sitagliptin
Has anyone ever been prescribed sitagliptin for recurrent implantation failure? I had a biopsy in Coventry (Dr Brosens) as we’ve had 3 failed transfers with top embryos and it has shown results which are more in keeping with recurrent miscarriages (which I’ve never had, never had a positive test) rather

Triglycerides
I’m very pleased to say my total cholesterol has gone from 6.4 to 4.6 from March this year to August. I worked hard with diet mainly and exercise. However my triglycerides weren’t included in this blood test. Has anyone found that due to their thyroid problems that their triglycerides are raised?

Fasting blood test query
I’ve been asked to book a fasting blood test next week. It’s at 10.00am. I take it this is a 12 hour fast. Do I take meds first thing as usual with water? Currently take enteric coated pred with a spoonful of yoghurt, then edoxaban and Bisoprolal after breakfast. Can’t get an answer from the receptionist
