You both sound similar to me too!

I was previously controlled by keto for more than 2 years. It just suddenly got worse. No fatty pancreas or liver according to a scan.

Yes. My insulin is very low end of normal when last tested. Endo thinks mody possible but a type not yet identified.

Thanks. Yes all checked and I’ve discussed it previously here. Just wondered if any of our international members have heard anything. I worked in Asia for a few years prior to diagnosis so that was the link that sparked my interest. I have several friends who picked up liver flukes in their time...

I’ve been a bit quiet on here trying to get my head around the fact my diabetes is out of control and I need insulin now. My endo is very confused by me but has no answers. Anyway, I’ve been doing a lot of reading and parasites keeps cropping up as a possible cause of unexplained diabetes...

I was recently tested for Mody but the results were negative. My endo still thinks I am but a mutation/deletion not yet discovered. There is a very good Facebook group which covers all the Mody types. Mostly US which is interesting as they seem further ahead than the UK with research.

Out of interest are you vegetarian because you are or is this recent? Asking because I was when I was diagnosed but after returning to meat and other animal products I reduced my Hba1c from 112 to 35 within three months. Realised my vegetarian way of eating was very high carb.

I’m in a similar position. Awaiting test results next month. There are a couple of good Facebook groups depending on which Mody you might be. There are a few people that have two types! Keep us posted.

I know. I was totally shocked! Very very unprofessional

I got “oh, you aren’t a rolly polly” from an endo!!!!

What if you don’t need to lose weight? What about thin T2s?

Waitrose also sell Livlife bread which is 3.8 g carbs a slice. Small but filling.

@searley are you doubting what I am saying? I can assure you that when I called to inform my insurance company that I was diabetic (no meds) they out my premium up by £28, around 10%.

Could the nurse have meant “turns out to be” instead of “turns into”. ?

I told my insurance company I had diabetes (no insulin at the time) and they put my premium up around 10%!
