The experience of going through the gestational diabetes
"Oh, is the for the little one?" "good, you got two portions" while I was carrying a little piece of cake and a cup of coffee back to my office after a little birthday celebration for one of our colleagues in other departments, these were the comments people were giving. they all thought i just had lots

Feeling fed up
Hi all, my first post on here. I’ve just left my doctors and my diabetic nurse has told me my latest HbA1c result is 66. It was 58 six months ago. She has said it is borderline but not classed as high and they won’t alter my medication at this time but will check again in six months time. I, however,

Not good
I went for a check up with my doctor and I had a blood test done. When the result had come back, it was not good. They found out my sugar level was to high and that I had to change my diet. I was asked to exercise to avoid being diabetic. So, I have started on a 5k run which I’m enjoying.

Septate uterus diagnosis
Hi all, new to this but thought I’d give it a try. Is anyone out there living with septate uterus diagnosis? Have you had successful surgery to remove the septum? It seems so rare I’m struggling to find anyone who ‘gets’ what this feels like. Would love to hear from people with similar experiences. Xoxo

Beta Blockers and Diabetes
Is anybody aware of the link between Beta Blockers, Insulin, Hyperglycaemia, and Diabetes ? Is anybody aware Beta Blockers affect (lower) Insulin secretion thus increasing blood sugar levels which may lead to Hyperglycaemia and eventual Diabetes ? I know this is not to do with AF, but then I take Bisoprolol

Pred: Hunger/appetite change. Early days, do things get better
Pre PMR diagnosis in early July 2018, I was overweight. First time in my life; I've gained just under 28lbs in past two years. Same diet, hugely reduced activity because of pain and mobility restriction. I've never struggled with weight. Used to be fit, happy and active but now having to review wardrobe

Berberine for leaky gut and Parkinson's ?
Several months ago I was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and have been looking for alternative treatments to anti arrhythmic drugs and surgical ablation usually prescribed for the condition. Berberine came up as a good alternative in some Chinese study https://www.hindawi.com/journals/bmri/2017/3146791
