DE is Diabetes Educator. This is what puzzled me. I did not think the dx of T3c depended on the insulin number as that can vary. I have not been tested for T1 or LADA. I thought my previous GP had done that. But it’s unlikely to be those, and the pancreas failure points to T3c. I looked up the...

The last endo I saw called it Brittle Diabetes. Is this T3c?

Yes, the bolus insulin was added eight weeks ago. My BGL was living in the teens. And the long acting insulin was increased too. But the DE was sure it was T2 and I was just eating incorrectly. She said T3c can only be dxed with blood tests. I thought GP had done those..but not so. But if I...

I finally saw a DE after eight weeks on new double insulin. She told me I cannot be T3c until blood tests say so. Despite Pancreas atrophy on CT Scan to failure stage. I take maximum dose Creon to digest my food. The gastroenterologist showed me the CT Scan image. He laughed! So my question...

Hi all, I am back here with some bad news. My T2 changed. I am now T3c. My pancreas was discovered atrophied on a CT Scan. This finally told my GP what was happening and Creon was prescribed. Which was amazing …dr had not believed me. And now I was “ free” of the diarrhoea. But he was so slow...

Top program last night here in Australia... Beating Diabetes... http://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/program/131

I was diagnosed by a random Blood Sugar of 11. Repeated next week for same result.. Fasting levels were 6.2. I had symptoms for years but it took the random test to diagnose.

I would have to say condensed milk. I can eat the whole tin :rolleyes: Needless to say I am trying to stay strong!

Do you find it hard to find meal ideas ? I am stuck on lunch ideas... I can see you have good results... Did you need to lose weight / have you lost weight ? How do you find eating out ?

I think it is similar to a few low carb diets... Sounds like it works for diabetes and weight control. I have done Atkins before but found it was too restrictive. Wondering if anyone here has used WB.

I am having huge spikes after home made focaccia bread. Just had an all time worst ..12.4 @ 1 hour yesterday. So back to counting carbs again..

What does GL mean ? Is this a low carb diet ?

Could this still be LADA ? I have 4 autoimmune diseases already .. and metformin does not seem to do anything..

I am Coeliac as well and on a forum for coeliacs and they eat so many nice carby things..... I guess my mind exploded...:(I started making Gluten Free focaccias in the slow cooker. Oh - they tasted sooo good. But I felt a bit hypoglycemic the next day ?? so I tested a pre lunch reading and had...

I was wondering if any Dr has tested your cortisol levels ? An 8 am blood test for cortisol may show if you are deficient. The body starts making cortisol around 4am and this peaks around 6am in a healthy person... which then gives us the energy to get up, and make the day work. This level then...
