[QUOTE="mrbondsbody, post: 836692, member: 175761"] Ok this was the email I sent to the clinic: In terms of my diet. I have not decided to go back onto a standard diet. For a number of reasons really. [LIST=1] [*]Putting me back onto carbohydrate (>150 g) a day is dangerous for my health without medicines. [*]My current diet is controlling my blood glucose excellently (Last week my levels were consistently 4.7-5.6) [*]My type 1.5 antiobodies (GAD and islet cell antibodies) were negative [*]My dad is type 2, slim and being diagnosed in his early 30s and has not progressed to insulin [/LIST] The last point 4 is interesting and after seeking professional advice, there is a rarer form of diabetes called MODY, which I think I should be tested. For now I will be continuing my diet measuring my blood glucose level regularly and if they should increase to the 10s then I will seek advice. And they replied that I have to go in for a follow up appointment for "the doctor to chat to you to make a plan that your happy with. Also she was hoping that we could teach you how to use insulin in case required in the future." So I wonder if they have found anything? QUESTION: If I am on a low carb diet will that reduce my c-peptide levels? Thanks, James [/QUOTE]
