    Diabetes in general.

    Yikes sorry Kenny. For me, absolutely nothing affected but blood sugars, maybe I’m saving it up for a big thing? On saying that, I did have a Tia and heart bypass but they put that down to thirty years of chain smoking not the db.

    Has anyone sued for wrong diabetic diagnosis?

    I went through a hospital stay for a heart bypass where they completely messed up my treatment, they wouldn’t let me control my own insulin, they had me on a automatic huge insulin needle thingie that injected bolus once an hour, I assume a crude pump?, they would not listen to reason, tried to...

    Is low carb useful for diabetes type 1?

    Hi, sure, couldnt be more simple. I don’t eat before 11am or after 7pm. I am often at work and busy around 11am and/or I’m not hungry so I often won’t eat until lunchtime or even evening time so I often just eat once a day but the golden rules are 11-7 or 16:8 as it’s called.

    Is low carb useful for diabetes type 1?

    Hi, My “official” self imposed window to eat is 11am to 7pm, I effectively skip breakfast. However I usually go to about 1:30 pm before breaking the fast as it’s easy and I believe the longer the fast the more it benefits, occasionally I only eat my evening meal, I have done one 40 hour fast so...

    How many calories?

    Have you looked at intermittent fasting? I have found it amazing. It’s free, obviously I don’t know you personal circumstances and everything I’ve said is just my understanding of YouTube videos, maybe it would be worth an hour of your time to see if anything Dr Fung says would work for you.

    How many calories?

    You are not the only person I believe it’s very common and very bad advice (opinion), from my research (YouTube videos of Dr Jason Fung lol) if you reduce you calories to 1300, you may lose weight but your metabolism will adjust down and eventually you will need to reduce calories further to...

    Type 1 diabetic injection sites question

    I’m impressed you have a chart for injection sites, I do bolus in my belly completely random hits, if I’m in Public I do the back of my arms (like where the libre goes) because I don’t want to inflict a belly flash on the world, basal is in my bum as I’m in my kitchen and won’t get arrested...

    Counselling specialised in diabetes

    I was referred by my diabetes consultant at my appointment, he asked how I was doing and I replied “I give up” I think he took that for suicidal and referred me, I wasn’t but glad he did because it was amazing, the reason I’m sharing is to suggest you or they sound very fed up when they speak to...

    Is low carb useful for diabetes type 1?

    Hi I have been eating 20g or lower each day since September 15th, I woke at 1am to pee which was unusual for me, tested bg at 24, so decided I needed to try and fix my erratic numbers, I haven’t eaten many carbs for years and years but decided lowish carb wasn’t enough, I would go from hypo to...

    Empaglifozen and keto diets

    Hi, I use GlucoRx HCT, seems great for bg and ketones, my gp won’t let me have them on script so I buy them, the strips are £30 for 10 from their website, I do however buy out of date keytone strips from eBay for £11 for 10 I think the last ones were, the weird thing is, they aren’t out of date...

    Double cream

    I wonder what it is about double cream specifically as opposed to other fatty things? That encourages weight gain I mean.

    Diabetes therapy

    Hi, I’m sorry to read this, on one hand he’s being selfish but I also understand him, maybe try and talk to him about how terrible his behaviour is making you feel if you haven’t already, it can be hard to see through the self pity. I wish I was smart enough to offer something useful, I hope you...
