I need some advice - my diabetic team will not call me even though I have asked 3 times to help me I am due to have colonoscopy Saturday and surgeon wants to sedate me - but completely knock me out - procedure is 3 o’clock in afternoon - how do I do this ? They haven’t got a clue. Do I need...

...said, blood in your poo doesn't immediately mean bowel cancer. If you did have a positive FIT test you will have been referred for a colonoscopy under the 'two week wait' cancer referral pathway but that doesn't automatically indicate you have cancer. I have inflammatory bowel disease and...

I've had a colonoscopy - or rather several. It turned out that I was suffering from Ulcerative Colitis (UC), almost 20 yrs ago, which was creating blood in my poo. Once diagnosed it meant tablets for the rest of my life and a yearly colonoscopy. So I altered my lifestyle and diet, with an...

...they are absolutely right to do exploratory tests first to look for those things. I can really understand you being anxious about the colonoscopy and from what I have read of people's experience here, the preparation for the procedure that you do at home (ie cleaning out your system) is the...

...to gastroenterology and the consultant advised to come off it. If that didn't work he thought I had severe ibs. I was told I'd need a colonoscopy and endoscopy also. But since coming off metformin I have been so much better so symptoms and can finally go to work, which it was taking over my...

Thanks @Geniekeepcalm . I had not thought of using Temp Target during a procedure, partly because I know that my levels are more likely to rise, but that would take out the basal corrections. Another very useful tip.

Hi @SB2015 . Glad Hcl worked so well. Its also great for me and use of temporary target for fasting medical purposes has been so useful. Used when had colonoscopy and also last night for early ultrasound. Great to know minimal chance of hypos!

Welcome to the forum Many do suffer problems initially but it usually settles down within a few weeks and we normally advise people to go back to their GP and ask for an alternative if it doesn't. Certainly it is not something you should put up with for months on end, some people just cannot...

...night. I have been seen by gastroenterology and he seems to think it's either metformin or IBS. I'm due to have a double endoscopy and colonoscopy just to rule out crohns but he's pretty sure it's medication. I've now changed to 7mg rybelsus, 40mg of glipizide, and 5 mg of alogliptin a day...

Morning all and 8.5 for me. Not surprising really after the internal photography session yesterday. Don't need another colonoscopy for three years the colitis seems to be behaving itself at the moment. Have a good day everyone.

...last two years because I’ve a serious bloating problem, I’ve been sent for an internal scan on my ovaries incase of cancer, it wasn’t, a colonoscopy ( where incidentally they discovered I had diverticulitis and am supposed to take in more fibre, see above to see why I can’t do that), I’ve...

Good luck with the album launch @khskel :) Hope the colonoscopy goes well.

...fiddly job but getting the right tools helps. Finally got proper distribution/ online sales sorted for our vinyl album. Hopefully coming to a record store near you mid July. Got to go to the hospital to get the colonoscopy preparation pack. I'm looking forward to that. Have a good day...

I think that need investigation as it doesn't sound right that you should be getting a feeling that impinges on walking. Have you had any tests, ultrasound or CT or colonoscopy.

Morning all and 5.8 for me. Back in the CGM gang, must have had a sensor with dodgy Bluetooth. Got a letter for a pre colonoscopy appointment. The joy of preparation for the procedure to look forward to. It's bright and sunny. That's more like it. Have a good day everyone.

...on the main DUK site. https://www.diabetes.org.uk/about-us/news-and-views/mounjaro-approved-nice-treating-type-2-diabetes I hope the colonoscopy clarifies your diagnosis. My other half was diagnosed with Crohn's many years ago but is largely asymptomatic with occasional flare ups, a couple...

...Insulin. However, I have multiple chronic medical conditions, including severe bowel issues they currently suspect to be Chrons (upcoming colonoscopy to confirm). This makes me hesitant to try anything that a) I can't stop immediately should I have a reaction, b) already has recorded bowel...

Excellent news.

Morning 5.4 today, nothing much planned might do some knitting after work. @Pattidevans - thank you for asking about hubby’s colonoscopy, no polyps were found, all good fine, some biopsies were taken, but he is feeling a lot calmer now.
