Just wondering if anyone knows if my extreme fatigue and muscle soreness is down to the hypo I experienced yesterday when walking up a massive hill. Got to the top and BS was 2.9, felt shocking. Got it back up but today, oh my word… so tired and muscles very sore in my legs.

So depressed, I have put a stone on since starting insulin. I wasn’t that thin to begin with… any advice?

Oh I love a Ballies! That I guess would be the same for a Christmas Snowball… :(

Brilliant, you guys are fab. It’s just enthusiasm of feeling so much better and wanting to live my best life!

Sensible advice, thank you.

I like that Nurse! It would appear I’m only to drink champagne and cocktails due to a medical condition, will be sure to let friends know

Oh that is a good idea… love that! Thank you

Great advice, I love champagne! I’ll make it my drink of choice lol

No interpretation of results so far, started on insulin last Friday, basal and bolus and what a difference! I feel like an enchantment has been lifted. Brighter, sharper oh my goodness 100% better.

So speaking to dietician today who was looking at my results. Said “oh they have found GAD Antibodies, but it’s inclusive, did they do a zinc one?” Anyone shed any light?

They said 4-6 weeks. I am nearly positive that I’m still type 2 but just not controlled very well in the last wee while. I’m going to try and get my BMI to 24 and see if that works. Currently at 27.

Okay so update, I am waiting on GAD and c-peptide test. Doctor at hospital said he thought type 2 and although since diagnosis I have lost around 2 1/2 stone I need to lose more weight, he felt I was insulin resistant not that my pancreas wasn’t producing enough insulin. He told me to eat brown...
