CPEP

Well there’s lots that can change there. Cereal, fruit, potatoes, rice and pasta will all push your levels up. As I suspected this is low fat not low carb. As a type 2 fat is not the problem. Carbs are.

Obviously being on insulin you need to make sure you don’t hypo but as you are a long way from that at the moment dropping some of these carbs would just bring you closer to normal than hypo. Please monitor carefully though.

i did start following the micheal mosley blood sugar diet but got confused by all the info. the yogurt is full fat and the fruit are blueberries strawberries and raspberries which i though could be ok as being berries

And now? You mentioned you had a recent test. If that’s gone up to 927 as in post #1 then ir has got worse and you are producing twice as much of your own insulin as in 2019 not less.

C-peptide either fasting or stimulated where you have to drink a sugary drink. The normal range after a sugary drink is 200 to 600 pmol/l. Your 927 still puts you in the type 2 insulin resistant bracket. But ask your consultant.

Berries are ok in moderation.

Try dietdoctor.com for simple clear explanations recipes and info. Personally I’m not a fan of the blood sugar diet as it’s fundamentally very low calorie (hunger?) and designed to be a short sharp shock not a life long eating style. That said it does help some people get off to a good start and can be motivational for that reason.

So no recent c peptide? And no idea of which direction it’s gone. I thought you’d recently asked your dn for one?

It would have been higher if you had. So your test is still a useful indicator of type 2.

Cutting the cereal, rice pasta and potatoes. But please check for hypos as you reduce the amounts, the difference can happen quicker than you think.

Eggs meats fish cheese instead salad and veg. If you want a cereal you can make a granola like mix from seeds, nuts and coconut (there’s a recipe on dietdoctor.com to use as a guide) or a porridge like mix with coconut flour and cream or chia seed
