[QUOTE="Cumbrianjudith, post: 2691277, member: 309126"] There are people on this forum Demonbat who could help, but I am not sure you are in the frame of mind to welcome it as you still seem to be eating only cake, energy drinks etc that you were over 2 months ago. I have been type 3c ( don’t think 3c was a drop-down option when I joined this site) for over 10 years following sepsis/ acute pancreatitis, and lost 3 stones soon after without trying. Until very recently I was completely treated as though a type 2, and never offered creon. I have had a Libre 2 continuous blood glucose monitor since Jan., which I presume you too also use since you refer to being ‘in the red/high ‘hi’’, can you start helping yourself by using this information better? I am slowly learning what foods/ drinks affect blood glucose more than others, and how order or combinations of eating makes BG change. For eg Crisps have no affect, but white flour and sugar in cake etc sends my BG vertical and very high, but also near vertical decline in a spike. I was told by my diabetic nurses that I could eat cake etc whenever I like, but just had to adjust the short dose insulin dose beforehand, but the shock of seeing what a coffee Victoria sponge did to my BG has largely put me off that type of eating. Some foods, with no/ few carbs like nuts or cheese ( might not suit your guts, but might be worth a try) act like a ‘buffer’, keeping me full, without BG spikes. Is there nothing unsweet or unprocessed you could try eating, and seeing how the Libre monitor reacts over the following few hours, as a starter to improve your BG hypers? I have incidentally been an intermittent faster 5x a week (fast for 16 hours a day) for a year…that sent the diabetic nurses rather anxious for a while! [/QUOTE]
