FBS shooting up in LCHF..
I am a diabetic for the last 10 years and was controlling it with diet and metformin. I switched to LCHF a month ago. My PPBS is still normal, but my FBS keeps shooting up. Two weeks before, it was 140, last week 156 and this week 171. Is there any particular reason? Interesting thing is that the PPBS

Weight gain and Lipomas, are they linked to anti TNF treatment?
Has anyone else, that is on a anti TNF had a large weight gain. I have also developed Lipomas over the last year, in both armpits, each side of the groin, on my left bicep and just above my right knee. So if like me, I have lipomas bulging from every part of my torso, are there any internally that could

Anyone with PCOS and Endometriosis have any sort of bariatric weight loss surgery?
I've been diagnosed with PCOS and Endometriosis and have been taking metformin for about a year now. My weight has become a huge risk on my health at this point weighing in almost 300lbs. My doctor referred me to a bariatric surgeon to discuss weigh loss surgery options. I am also highly anemic and low

Fasting sugar 7.15am 127 consistently in spite of all the diet control and a tab of 500 mg metformin sr. No clue why as it is not supposed
to be so. Today I got up early at 5.00 am and thought of checking. It was 109 at 5.15 am. Watched TV for next 2 hrs and checked. Surprise 127 at 7.15 am. If this gives an indication that while 7.15 am level appears high, at 5.15 am level is under control (given the -ve tolerance of meter) All

Started metformin
Should this join together with my thyroxine and give a good weight loss??? Can't tolerate fatty food already, only started it yesterday!!! The metformin has been prescribed to suppress my appetite and sort my hormones out. I'm not diabetic!!

Metformin and RLS
One of my cousins said that she has had RLS for the past 3 years. She gave me an article that discusses RLS and Metformin (a diabetes drug) I thought that I would pass this along because she wants to know if anyone else has had this same problem. She is on Metformin and has been for 3 years. Here is

had appointment with Endo today, no surprises there then.
I am self medicating N.D.T. and for almost 2 months have felt wonderful compared to the previous 25 years of no help from N.H.S. The Endo could not provide N.D.T. or Levo. In fact he encouraged me to stop the N.D.T and go back onto the fluoxatine (prozac). How I kept my face straight, I do not know.

How do you cope with Gabapentin side effects?
I've been taking tramadol, naproxin, amitriptyline, gabapentin, ducosate, senna and metformin for a number of years now. Considering the number of tablets I take on a daily basis, I'm lucky to not really suffer from many side effects, although the ducosate and senna are obviously prescribed to counteract

Pcos and endo!?
So I've had endo now for 5 years. And now just been told I have pcos too and been put on metformin. Was told it's prob the reason why I've been struggling to loose weight as well! I'm just worried and panicked a little. My biggest fear is not having children and just worries me even more now! Does anyone

Hypothyroidism and Diabetes 2 doctors
My underactive thyroid was undiagnosed (finally!) 10 years ago. A few years ago a doctor diagnosed pre diabetes and last year I crossed into diabetes 2 (only diet and 1 Metformin per day). I want to know if other members were referred at some stage to an endocrinologist or depend solely on their GPs
