Hi, I have had T2D for 13 years with gestational diabetes starting 30 years ago with my first child. I have been on various meds over the years with my HbA1c climbing to 81 in December last year. I was advised to take insulin and decided to try LCHF instead. I went keto March 2019. I was...

I am in total agreement as with all the research I have done myself leads me to conclude that is exactly what my liver was doing. I am pleased to say my BS levels have reduced dramatically and I will be presenting the specialist with readings that include many 5-7 late afternoon readings. I...

Hey, not sure if anyone is still following this but I thought I would update you. I went to my GP and have been referred to the diabetes centre here. My appointment is 25th March. I returned to metformin and gliclazide and have continued with <30g carbs a day with regular 24 hour fasts. My...

I have returned to medication today and levels are slowly falling so that is promising. Thanks to you all for your helpful,caring comments. It was through the support I got on this post that I was empowered to question and to request the referral. I am very grateful.

Hoping I will get this rested when I go to see the specialist.

Did you have high blood sugars of 20? If so how long before they came down?

Thank you for the information I have asked for a referral and have been advised to reintroduce Metformin but only when not fasting. I have tried a few different drugs since diagnosis 12 years ago ( gestational 30years ago) I need to know what type of diabetes I have and I think my GP could...

I have been to my Dr and he is referring me to a specialist as he cannot do the blood tests to confirm or deny T1 and has admitted he has never seen the results I have when fasting. I tested my sugar infront if him. He said the liver will only release sugar if the blood sugars go dangerously...

Thank you for your information. I am off to the doctor to ask for further tests. Caroline

Thank you for your reply. I guess I realised this high lever was not good. The bloods do drop and are presently down to 14 whilst fasting today. I had incredibly red itching patches at the site of infection. I am off to my GP with requests for further investigations and if so a referral...

Thank you. I really appreciate the help and everyone’s kind words X

I am so confused as recent research cited on sites such as Diet Doctor and Jason Fung suggests that a pancreas can regain function after fasting periods. I also understand that going on insulin increases weight and therefore the issues surrounding that. I am definitely going to ask for tests as...

Ok, I have an appointment later today. I will be asking for both an insulin resistance blood test and those associated with T1. Is there a NAFLD blood test? I am going to try to get all of these so at least I know where I am starting from. Thanks all - I will keep you posted. C x

Ok. I will certainly try. Thank you.

Hi, Unfortunately I had not been taking my blood levels for a long time which i think is why they were so out of control. When I first started LCHF I was taking 1000mg Metformin as well as Gliclicde and had readings of between 13 and 17 No I have not lost weight. I am approx 70kg and have...
