catfan 14,793 Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Had some brilliant news today. Harking back to Darkazana's Diabetes thread. http://nottstalgia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=13433 I went to see one of the practice GPs this morning to have some tablets changed, yep no problem she said, here you go try these ones instead. Good ! Anything else i can help you with she asked. So I asked if she had my blood test result from last week yet ? Yep, HbA1c now 39 ! Throw your diabetes medication away, you don't need em anymore she said. Considering that in one year I had gone from 78 to 39 (should be below 42) In my opinion is an amazing result, especially for me. Well known for not having a lot of willpower. I had not taken any medication since after last Christmas, just been keeping a close eye on blood glucose levels. This idea was given to me by the practice nurse at my Gps surgery last autumn. A year ago it was the prospect of Insulin injections that finally persuaded me to knuckle down & give medication another try. Another welcome bonus is that I have lost just under two stone in weight, which is always good, now need to keep the weight off ! Mrs Catfan keeping her sharp eyes on that. So a great day, no more diabeted medication. All thanks to Darkazana's inspirational thread, a fantastic practice nurse & Mrs Catfan's unending patience & of course not forgetting the magical healing properties of Hobgoblin ! Praise the Lord !! 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You have managed to turn your Diabetes around, lose weight and get off some medication. All this and you have done it without having to give up on lifes little pleasures of Hobgobblin and the occasional meal out at the Lime kiln, not forgetting Eptons. Really pleased for you miduck. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just had a phone call from the doc's secretary , the doc wants to see you Catfan ? Ah well, long wait until Monday next ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

banjo48 928 Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 I recently had my annual MOT, and god willing no nasty surprises or call backs as yet fingers crossed. Had some nasty skin cancers on my hands frozen off and on a course of fluorocil cream for some others but that's getting old in the sun. Did a quick 10 day trip down the coast to have my appointments and stayed with my eldest daughter, bad decision as her 3 kids had the dreaded lurgy and now I've gone down with the worst head and chest cold I've had for must be 3 years ! bugger. Kept my good lady awake last few nights with my sniffling and coughing so I'm in the dog house currently, Oh well it's only "man flu" or so she says. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 I don't go for MOTs. Some would say I'm crazy, but I've come this far. Something will get me one of these days. Please don't mistake my intent here. I'm not criticizing those who have them, and where there is a known condition its a good idea to keep an eye on it. If I come down with a terminal condition I wouldn't mind a bit of notice so I can transport myself back to Canada to get my affairs in order and be buried next to my late wife. On that cheerful and happy note I will go and work in the heat. :-) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,091 Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 You don't need M.O.T's loppy, it's being so cheerful that keeps you going, LOL. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 I can't afford MOTs in the land of the brave and the free, Katie. Lol. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 The beauty of our wonderful NHS loppy is that it's all free ! I dread to think what my medication costs each month, never mind the hospital stuff ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,091 Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 I'm on Medicare loppy, not totally free, but way cheaper than before I turned 65. So far all MOT's have been covered at no extra charge. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
