Hi, would someone be able to shed any light on my last test result? I have been diagnosed as a late onset type 1. Do my results gauge me as a Type 2? Thank you (Mod edit to conceal ID.)

Hi, l have just been recently introduced to bolus and was looking forward to more stable blood glucose readings, which, for most of the time I am having. But my DN just advised me to take just 1 unit of Novorapid before my evening meal and reduce my Lantus by 1 unit. My question is, would be...

Well at last I have been official classed as a late onset Type 1. Very insulin sensitive but no insulin resistance. I’m trying to understand all this now, but I feel so much better since starting long lasting insulin. (Lantus). I only take 6 units in the evening and it’s working great. I had...

I hope I have started this topic in the the right thread. I was diagnosed Type 2 five years ago. After struggling for the past 2 years with keto and IF to try and get my blood sugars down and my local surgery just throwing more meds at me, I finally went privately to see a diabetic specialist...

I’m here again. And it’s the usual problem only worse. A few of you may remember some of my older posts. I am quite at my wits end. I was diagnosed type2. 5 years ago and luckily found this forum. Such a lot of useful information and a great help to kickstart my way of eating. For a while...

Does anyone have and good recommendations for a diabetic/endo consultant in the UK? I am in the process of searching for one, there are quite a few consultants on line but I would like to hear from anyone with personal experience. Thank you

I probably posted all this before but having received my latest HBA1c result I can’t help but feel frustrated with the result. I have been religiously, excessively and obsessively taking my blood sugar readings for many many months now and recording on the SugarApp. I used the Libre2 last...

I think I understand the information, but I would be grateful for anybody be able to explain this to me in simpler terms Thank you

Morning everyone, Can you help? Discrepancies in Hba1c readings My eight daily blood glucose monitor results give consistent readings of between between 3.5 and 8 (using the Codefree monitor which I believe marks high). My sugar app has averaged this out to 37.4 over the past 6 months or...

I need some advice from the wise ones. I have been doing intermittent fasting since diagnosis about 16 months ago. At first it worked well with low FBG down to the 4s. But slowly it’s been creeping up. My diet hasn’t changed, still low carbing, still exercising. Not overweight. Probably a...

I had lunch with a colleague recently. She has not been tested for diabetes. We both had the same food except that she had some flatbread with hers. We then both did a finger prick test about 2 hours after eating, mine was 6.4, but hers was 9.2. Should she be worried? X

I thought I was doing well but my latest results show level of 8.3! HDL 2.41 LDL. 5.6 Tryglicerides 0.6 Up from 6.4 from last November. Which were: HDL 2.15 LDL. 3.8 Tryglicerides 0.9 I'm doing the lchf diet but maybe eating too much cheese or cream in coffee. But I really don't want to go on...

I thought I had everything under control as mornings were in the 6s in the last couple of weeks. They seem to have shot up to the 8s lately. I have a creamy coffee then I take dogs out for an hour and it obligingly comes down to mid 6s again. Within an hour, and not eating, maybe a weak green...

I'm not sure whether this is the right place to post but I walked past Pret A Manger today and did a double take. They are now selling broth! Both veg and meat. If anybody has tried it yet, please let us know. :-) x

Hi, has anyone any experience of this? And is diabetes and thyroid linked in any way? I have googled but would prefer if someone on this forum who has been through this would let me know. Thank you x

6 months down the line and this forum has been such a great help. Part of me is still in denial. I had no symptoms to speak of. Just a general feeling of malaise, but I put that down to hard work and long days. I am not overweight but since being on the lchf way of eating I have lost just...
