I think I should print what you've said and take it to my GP. You're very well-informed - thank you for helping. May I ask are you in the UK? I can't seem to get answers to my questions through the NHS at the moment. I guess as I'm not feeling particularly ill, I can understand that. I have...

No I don't think I match the profile for T2 - I only found out because my son participates in the ALSPAC study and they started to investigate parents and up popped high fasting BS. It could be another type but in view of my age and not on any medication, not cost-effective to investigate...

Wow..thanks for all the info. I will read the article and educate myself as to reactive hypoglycemia. The blood tests were quite far apart - I think 18 months or more - I'm going to record all the data I have properly. The increase in trigs coincides with me eating eggs almost every day as...

LCHF lowered FBG to start with, but now seems to be going back to where it was b4

Sorry if not clear, I'm probably in a muddle myself to be honest. My fasting BG had been consistently 7.5 to 9 - but managed a few 6's since started LCHF in January. Now though, despite being more strict, my FBG's going up again. They were mid 6's for a while...

My GP isn't keen to prescribe testing strips and wants me to rely on HBA1c so I haven't been testing that much. I often test in the morning 7.5 to 9.0 typically. Since LCHF, down to mid 6's but now creeping back up again which makes me feel that the LCHF was only a temporary help. Post-meal, I...

Thanks - I think I'm on the forum now

Thanks...I do find cutting out carbs makes me a bit miserable though!

That was negative - that's good I assume?

Thanks for help - sorry can't see these replies on my phone for some reason. I've been trying to cut out Grains, Potatoes and Sugar. I've not really got into weighing carbs precisely - how do you know the carbs in a carrot for example? I probably should drink more - I'm not very good at doing that.

I'm new on here so not up to speed with all the acronyms. My BMI is about 24, weight 63 kg and height 163cm. Switched to LCHF to try and bring fasting BS down. Have had a Glucokinase test as seemed not to fit typical T2 but not that although letter says "does not exclude other types of MODY" No...

I've tried to reply before but got message saying waiting approval and then don't know where reply will appear.

Hi Daisy I'm new here and not sure where to start. Can't seem to post but have logged in?

I found out by accident as my son is in the Children of the 90s trial and my fasting blood sugar was over 7 on a regular basis. Have been tested for GAD antibodies and the GlucoKinase gene (I think). Now just getting on with it but despite cutting back on carbs - still get high BS, up to 13/14...
