Avatar f tn G at home with FULL time Care the last 10 years, recently due to wound his Diabetic condition has worsened and now needs injections rather than pills, Of course his sugar levels have risen shapely and his local NHS dietician says she cannot supply (diabetes-specific formulas) through the NHS, so please can you direct me to where I can purchase such Formulas High in M.U.F.
Avatar m tn In the UK, diabetes test measurements are presented as mmol/l [millimoles/liter]. Normal fasting mmo/l glucose [blood sugar] ranges are 3.88 to 5.5 mmol/l. If your "gone up to 18points" is a fasting 18 mmol/l you are in the danger zone of having serious life threatening health issues. Please educate yourself on the hows/what-to-do's on diabetes control and management before its too late.
Avatar f tn A glucose test is when they test for gestational diabetes, you drink this orange sweet drink and then an hour later they take your blood. Not sure if it's in the UK or not, but I don't see why it wouldnt be.
Avatar n tn My blood sugar rose after high levels of toxic mould triggered CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome). :( “Inflammation has a key role in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes and its associated metabolic abnormalities.” Foods that help with blood sugar include raw honey (especially from a single floral source), fresh fruit, foods that contain beta glucan especially oats and barley. Supplements include beta glucan, vitamin D, magnesium, zinc and chromium.
Avatar f tn Just wanted to ask all mums with gestational diabetes, when you check your glucose levels with a monitor how long after a meal are you required to do so? What's the maximum mmol you should be or aim for? Just curious, coz here in the UK they expect us to achieve a job max of 7.5mmol an HOUR after a meal! It's very difficult....
Avatar f tn Hello, the most effective diet for controlling diabetes is one that is low carb, moderate protein, and high in healthy fats. You can look up paleo (their approach is quite diabetes friendly), or mediterannean (though you may want to reduce the bread, past, etc).
644974 tn?1312758070 Are you trying to write a journal through the Journal interface or through the Tracker interface? On My MedHelp, on the Journals panel, you should see a link that says, Write a new journal entry. If you click that, you should see a form that has text boxes for Title, Journal Entry and Tags. Do you see that?

Business man2 You can begin your diabetes education by reading, understanding and practicing what is put forth at these sites: http://www.diabetes.org/ http://diabetes.webmd.com/ Since you didn't provide us any information to work with, you can start by making lifestyle changes. Too many people rely solely on medication to make themselves normal when basic lifestyle changes are ignored. Medication alone will not do the work for you, they are there to 'help' you.
Avatar n tn I recently got told I have gestational diabetes, I'm due February 8th but my baby is a normal size. They hospital said they don't let anyone with gestational diabetes go past 39 weeks pregnant but on my birthday I'll turn 39 weeks pregnant is it pointless making plans? And do you get induced? I'm petrified of it all I don't know what to expect..
940486 tn?1245937258 Hi Mick. I'll try give you some info, answer some of your concerns, and make you aware of some of the potential problems you are facing with the UK Health Service. Because Levothyroxine is a T4 type med it usually takes 4-6 weeks to build up in the body and reach its full effect. This is because the T4 has to be converted by your body to T3 and build up to a level that is effective.

Avatar m tn Hey everyone, So I've had issues with my eyes since I was about 14 (I'm now 18, 19 in December). Around 3 months ago I had a check up with my optician after 1 year, she prescribed me some new lenses and everything was ok for about a week or so. After that week I started getting blurred vision in my right eye again and pain as if someone is pushing on my eye. I'm deeply worried as my family has a history of glaucoma and diabetes (I believe both can cause the loss of vision?).
Avatar f tn Medical conditions such as obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance and atherosclerosis are associated with more frequent skin tags. Research findings in the May 2009 "Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine" article suggest that individuals with prediabetes or diabetes are at high risk for developing small fibre neuropathy.
Avatar m tn 1) Get my insulin by registering with a US based healthcare profesional and paying for it via the health insurance cover I will be given by my work - not sure how the surcharges and in-out of care really works with diabetes so if anyone can help explain it to me I would be grateful! 2) Get my free prescriptions from the UK and arrange for someone in the UK to have them shipped into the US - is this legal? Can UPS or FedEx ship it without subjecting it to temps that will damange the insulin?
