Thanks melgar for the info, i will take a look at the paper

It is frustrating because you get hyped up on the low carb diet because lots have a good success rate with it. I’ve no doubt though if I’d of continued without it I wouldn’t be in the same position I’m in today. Even if right now I’m a little deflated with the diet. I think about those times...

Thanks @antjee So I’m gathering it really is muddy waters of diagnosis for which type of diabetes and unless I’m going dangerously high or low then it comes down to an older body just not doing what it used to do as a spring younger chicken self. There is a science to all this stuff I’m sure but...

Thanks Chris for the fast response again.

Hi, I’m still trying to get some of my ducks in a row (or not) in prep for my 10 minutes of time with the docs. Since looking at my medical notes online I have learnt that the test I had when first debating if I was type 1 or 2 was the Insulin antibody level Znt8 and the results were 5.2 mg/L...

@chris77main. You Could be on to something there. on my fat content Looking back over my last 3 months, prior to my HbA1c of 6.2% this is my averages per day avg per month For the month Fat Protein Mmol/l (FP) Aug 102g 105g 6.9 Sept 90g 102g 6.8 Oct 95g 98g 7.1 Nov 91g 103g 6.2 I’ve...

Thank you for the insights. I’ve thought about the CGM but always shied away because of reading the graphs or if i will have long enough in 2 weeks to gain any insights from? but i do think that between a c peptide test, Or another test in Hba1c test in 3 months time on the changed routine Or...

Thank you for that @Melgar, makes perfect sense and something better to go to the doctors with the right wording along with how the low carb diet is not quite cutting it. I don’t want to be back up at those high figures again this time next year. Considering i am doing the finger prick testing i...

@Chris24Main yes I’m aware that we all have ramblings on here but it’s good reading though a collective of those said rambling and finding glimmers that give an element to another thought and maybe another rabbit hole to dig into. Other times to just realise how green the information in me was...

@ Antje77, thank you for the reply. When i was first diagnosed i had a test done called insulin antibodies that came back with the results of 5.2. Is this anything to do with what my body is making on the insulin scale? Or do i need the test for the C PEPTIDE? Or the glucose test which few...

Hi @Chris24Main, thanks for the speedy response, I’ve been hooked on your post of a funny thing happened on the way to surgery, it has took me about 2/3 months to catch up on it though. Some information has retained in there from it. I’ve listened to some of the pod casts from it also. It has...

I’m not sure which way to go with my latest HbAc1 result . A re cap, I’ve been a diabetic for two years now. I started out at 10 mmol/mol and less than a year later I got it down to 5.5 mmol. My new figure for this year being 6.2 mmol. My bmi is 19.7(if this holds any relevance?). My LDL is at...

Finally got the results for 6 months since last test. Happy with results thanks to this forum. You lot should take over the doctors. Saying that my nurse did hand the reins to this website[emoji846]. My first year of diabetes: [emoji853]Oct 22-90. [emoji53]Nov 22-75. [emoji854]Jan 23-46...

I Started this journey in October 2022. Has many here by a chance water test at the doctors for something completely different. Had to fight tooth and fist with the Rottweiler receptionist at my surgery to get a HbAc1 test with a reading of 90mmol/mol, refused meds at this stage and went solo...

It is a huge difference thats why i thought i was missing something. Could it have something to do with the 80% or more on the chocolate rating. I did take a look at another site to compare, this one came up at 11g per hundred. Very mixed on info out there again.
