A few questions for the diabetics here that are on insulin.
I'm a t2 diabetic and have been for over 20 years. Mostly I've kept it under control with A1C around 6, give or take a few. This was with metformin. My CKD has progressed to where I had to stop the metformin. My doctor tried a few other meds but they didn't work. A couple of weeks ago I started

PCOS Hair Loss
My daughter has been diagnosed with PCOS and takes Spironolactone and Yacdlla (combined pill). She had to stop Metformin as it didn’t agree with her. we have noticed that when she has 7 days of off Yacdlla she sheds more hair. I know that if you permanently stop the pill you get shedding but we didn

One word of caution. A course of high-dose supplements given for at least three months will resolve many deficiencies but, unless diets/medication/underlying conditions change the problem is likely to recur. Many people will require lifelong supplements or, at the very least, future testing to check

Stop B12 Treatment & increase Metformin!
Type 2 diabetes vitamin B12 level 452NG serum folate 4.5 UG. I’ve had anaemia for years and all of the symptoms and more for B12 deficiency/PA . Finally given loading doses a year ago, followed by 4 further shots, three months apart next one, due 25 July. Blood sugar always runs around 50 so well

2 rounds of ICSI both low fertilisation and failed
Hi, I am hoping someone will have similar experience and be able to advise. We had our first ICSI in 2020, we were told to do ICSI as my husbands morphology was low. I’ve had a fertility check were they deemed everything was ok with me, tubes fine and good AMH for my age - I am 34 now. We went straight

Late onset type 1 diabetes?
Husband diagnosed with cirrhosis a couple of months ago, fibroscan reading confirmed this but no varices and no ascites. Waiting to hear back further from gastroenterologist on this. In the meantime, the metformin he had been prescribed for T2 diabetes didn't seem to be working, still had all the symptoms

Typical Diet
I'm having difficulty getting a diet that I like. I'm S4 Fibrosis, 13.4 kpg (I was 36.6!) but lost 2 stone but I'm now stuck. I'm T2 diabetic but that's now well controlled with 1 Metformin daily and a weekly Ozempic injection. I've had a few hypos lately and have eaten sweets etc to bring my level up

B12 problems?
I don't know what your symptoms are but I was vitamin b12 deficient with a similar reading and I had the symptoms of tingling and wierd dizziness among others. Despite this I was told it was fine as within normal limits. It is a large range and stands to reason that that reading can be low for some
