I had a lunch at 1 pm. It included one bowl (100gm) of white rice, sambar, a small cup of potato fry, another cup of vegetables, and 200ml of buttermilk. I took metformin 500mg before lunch and went for a 2km walk inside my office. Took a random blood sugar at 2:30 pm and was shocked to see the reading

laser treatment nhs
I’m 33 and was diagnosed with Pcos last year… I’ve been taking metformin for the past year and my acne has completely cleared up which is great! I have issues with facial hair and was referred to get laser hair removal on the nhs I didn’t think it was making much of a difference until people around me

GCA and type 2 diabetes
Hi all Warriors Since being on prednisone (since July 2023 at 60mg, now at l6mg) my A1C has slowly crept up. Had blood work yesterday and A1C is now at 7.1. I have been told by my rheumy this is steroid induced and will start going down as I taper. Even though I have been tapering by 1mg every 2

Pre-CRPC Supplements/Drugs - Potential Risks vs Rewards?
With some substances there could be a "tipping" point depending on the substance, the dosage and the patient's stage of cancer where the substance may have a higher chance of having a negative effect instead of positive. It usually relates to ROS levels. Adequate levels of ROS are important for cancer

When I lost 33lbs I found I was no longer in the Diabetic range. So it is possible and worthwhile! I no longer take Metformin. I have found I am not losing more weight for now despite still being quite restrictive in my diet. I have developed kidney stones which may be because I never ate much fat so

Liothyronin T3 and insulin resistance
I’ve been doing some research as my blood sugar levels (measured by HbA1C) have been persistently high despite exercise, low carb diet, weight loss and muscle gain. Prompted by the very wise SlowDragon that T3 can cause high sugars, I decided to delve deeper. I came across a lot of articles online

Weight and Exercise
I became diabetic so lost weight. After about 3 months I had lost 2 1/2 stone by giving up dairy, most carbohydrates and all big meals. I was then able to stop Metformin. I then found I had large kidney stones. Once they are taken out I may know more about what may have caused them. It could have

TAPUR study
Following up on a genomics report (47 pages ! Plus 54 min consult) and came across this study (phase 2 basket trial) in the US. Essentially when exhausting, or before, standard of care options, allows patients to trial off label approved drugs using genomics to identify specific targetable variations

Cracked it .... and then it came back !
Hi everyone, A while ago I posted about how my RLS had virtually gone following the use of vitamin B1, in addition to the usual magnesium. Fennel also appeared to help. I am diabetic (type 2) and appear to have some form of neuropathy in the feet which can feel numb sometimes but not to the touch
