What a very long journey for your diabetes. Hopefully this time it will be the start on correct Type 1 Diabetes diagnosed... and no more of Type 2 Diabetes. Guess you will find out when you see that Diabetic Nurse soon for a appointment.

I've read thru this thread for couple of days... everyone has done very incredible work to lose their weight. Well done to you all. Before Diabetes my biggest weight was 92.1kg in 2020. Diagnosed Diabetes back in 2021: 90.1kg. Until I caught my first Covid+ on late 2022: my weightloss went...

I wish I was tall in height, but my height is a shortie... hoping to get to around 50kg to 55kg range for maintenance the weight. I do get early signs and symptoms of DKA but not into the stage where it ends up more severe symptoms of DKA when on steroids. But yes if I do end up severe...

Broke the 60kg barrier - now down to 59.8kg. (Thank to prednisolone tablets + high glucose + moderate ketone levels to cause 1.7 kg weightloss on day 1 when I started on prednisolone.) I've finished Day 5 prednisolone yesterday but not going to check the weight until next week.

I had mine down to eGFR 62 - it was caused by Covid+ infection. It has taken ages for my kidneys to recover from this.. until 2 years later now my kidneys is now back to eGFR 90+ ranges. For me I had to take a lot of rest, water, Long Covid treatments medications - esp with flares up...

6.7mmol - currently I'm waiting for doctor appointment next month. Recently discovered I've got gallstones in gallbladder which is impacted by the neck of gallbladder. How fun.

I had ultrasound back in 2023 due to abdominal left upper pains after covid+ (late 2022) - normal pancreas and fatty liver. Recently I went for ultrasound appointment today... due to on-going abdominal pains off and on over 2 years plus and abdominal pains have slowly spreaded more from left...

Well done, keep up the good work!

7.3mmol this morning. Fun bit - had to go on short course of prednisolone a week before Christmas.. due to fires smoke in the air triggered my asthma. Horrible summer bush fires happens out there somewhere. Now I got those evidences on CGM - my time in ranges went below 56% to 42% when I'm...

Ouch that is a bit ignorant of GP not listening to Pharmacy, letter from hospital. Have you try ask GP at the appointment time face to face and get them fill in script so you can check if it written/typed in cartridges Tresiba? If they wrote it in Tresiba pens... you can tell GP to fix up to...

I would recommend write down the lists of side effects you are getting from metformin xr. As you may be intolerance/allergic to metformin for the worse side effects. Take the lists of side effects with you to your doctor appointment. Hopefully your doctor will find another medication. Once I...

Has your doctor done C-peptide blood test - to check how much of your own insulin you are producing? Esp you are Type 2 Diabetes for many years... would gradually decreased your beta cells over the years. And also checked for antibodies of GAD test to rule out LADA and Type 1 Diabetes?
