@Sasha1! Please keep us informed, sending you virtual hugs .

@Sasha1! There are no T1’s logged on at the moment, but I’ll tag a few for you. @Jaylee , @Antje77 , @EllieM . Hopefully someone will be on soon.

Nadolig Llawen to you too @Ushthetaff I hope you are having a great day.

CGM readings usually lag behind a blood draw @davidmillan. When you do a finger prick test you are directly testing your blood, so you are measuring how much blood sugar is in your blood in that instant. With a CGM the sensor is not measuring blood direct, it is measuring interstitial fluid...

Hi and welcome to the forum @Leew86 . I’m assuming by a GADA blood test you are talking about Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase Antibodies. What is it that has made you think you may have late onset adult diabetes ((LADA) it’s a sub group of T1 diabetes ? Usually LADA is suspected when blood lowering...

Merry Christmas , happy holidays or just putting your feet up, I hope you all have a wonderful day. @Bcgirl we have rain, if I turn my head and look up there is snow on the mountains. I’ll have to make do with that.

A big congratulations from me @James G . I bet you are very pleased with that result. Well done :)

@grantg I could not maintain a keto diet I lost too much weight, weight I could ill afford to lose. I am unable to eat enough fats in my diet to compensate for the lack of carbohydrates. Apologies if you have already answered this, but how many carbs are you eating per day? My understanding is...

Sorry to hear that @Sarah69 . I hope she has stabilized. Tagging @Jaylee , @Nicola M and @EllieM

My daughter, who is also coeliac, lives in LA. She shares an apartment with two other girls. Despite being 100% gluten free she was getting so sick from the cross contamination in the kitchen. She was very lucky to have such understanding co habitees, they all went gluten free to support her...

If it is coeliac ( coeliac and T1 share a genetic link) then the only way to heal your small intestines is to go 100% gluten free. It also affects my skin too. It’s tricky if you live in a gluten consuming household. Having your own utensils etc ? The Dr can refer you to a specialist, but in...

@just_m , I’m mindful that your thread concerns insulin so I don’t want to derail. Have you been tested for coeliac ? I’m coeliac , I’m very iffy with fats too, I can only tolerate small amounts. Can’t eat a whole egg without feeling nauseated the entire day. I’m also lactose intolerant, and...

Good luck with your DN tomorrow @Maggie75 . I hope it goes well for you. I’m going to take a stab at your question about why there is a confusing difference with your carb intake and your blood sugars. Bearing in mind it’s just a possibility. One of the main drivers in T2 diabetes is insulin...

I can’t help you with your insulin questions, as I’m not on insulin, but I just want to address something you said in your post. “ [Drs] …..generally see fat and older and assume type 2” that is just down to misinformed doctors making incorrect assumptions and repeating media nonsense with a...

Hi and welcome @timeistight . Pre diabetes, which as @KennyA says, is not an official diagnosis, more like a warning that your blood sugars are a bit above what they should be. Pre diabetes can range from a fraction over normal to just below the diabetic range. It’s really just giving you a...
