Should I seek medical advice?
About 3 weeks ago I was diagnosed with diabetes. When I went and saw my doctor she had my blood sugar taken there and then. It red 15.7. My brother has type 1 and was diagnosed when he was 13 and his reading was 15 point something and was sent to hospital. I was told I had type 1 there then and that

10 weeks and suddenly vomiting - and can’t face taking metformin
I’ve just joined this group after getting pregnant from ivf... at last! On Tuesday I suddenly started feeling really sick after lunch and then vomited all evening and night. I wasn’t able to keep any water down. I assumed it was food poisoning or sickness bug because it seems so late for morning sickness

New meta-analysis below. This analysis of published PCa-Metformin studies is specifically to survival (which is why I began using Metformin >5 years ago). I am not aware of statistics, but I expect that most Metformin users with PCa are diabetic. I know of a number of non-diabetic men with PCa (including

I lost my trust to doctors, what should I do now, please help... (25/female)
Hi everyone! I am very very confused. The latest endoc I visited said I have PCOS according to my LH and FSH levels. My gynecologist said I don't have such problem. But this endoc says the LH bigger than the FSH means I am PCOS. My LH is 7.51, and my FSH is 6.11 . According to every article I found

So glad I met with my consultant
Quite a busy afternoon today, I had a scan to confirm that all was okay after surgery which thankfully it was. I then met with my consultant which I’m really glad about as he was so understanding and even said it was heartbreaking for him watching us suffer so much. We’ve agreed that I’m going to take

Letters to doctor which led to treatment - feel free to copy any parts
Hi all, I said on another post (https://healthunlocked.com/pasoc/posts/136700379/stunned-in-a-good-way) that I'd post the contents of the letter I'd sent my GP when someone asked, just in case it was of any use to anyone else to use bits of. Certainly, a few months ago when I was much more ill I wouldn't
