Hi I managed my GD with a fairly strict lchf diet (bearing in mind that I was pregnant at the time and I am thin). Since then I have tried to stick to it (with a potential type I diagnosis on my mind) albeit with more carbs as I am breastfeeding. With a strict lchf diet don't you all get really...

Ok thanks very much. Yes they are pretty good.

Thanks, how would my doctors find out? By six monthly tests to see if the levels change? It seems that every time the test is done the units of measurement have changed and also it is never done as a fasting test.

Hi sorry I think my post was a little confusing but thanks for answering. I meant to ask whether it is possible to just have naturally low levels of insulin (without having type I or Lada or anything else diabetes related). At the moment my antibodies are negative and my hba1c is 34 (so 5.3) and...

Anyone??

Thanks everyone this is all really helpful. I am breastfeeding too and hope to do at least a year (if she will, doesn't seem so keen now established on solids). I suppose part of it is the effect it has on the children, knowing mummy has a chronic disease and I suppose at some point they will...

Did you already have type I before you had children (if you don't mind me asking)

Thank you, it is mealtimes and things that most worry me tbh as it is so hard to do anything 'on time or immediately' with small people.

Thank you everyone and huge apologies I had forgotten I had posted before! You are right it is on my mind, obviously there are other considerations as well aside from my health. I suppose (this time[emoji6])I was rather looking for a picture of 'your average day balancing children, job, life and...

Hi I have been diagnosed with lada and am wondering what life is really like dealing with fully fledged type I (insulin, carb counting etc) with two plus small children. We were planning to have three but diabetes is looming rather large over that plan. I know it shouldn't own me but I feel...

Hi is it possible to just naturally have low (but still in normal range) c peptide and never develop type I? Antibodies are all negative (although waiting for the rare results still). Have no symptoms, twice weekly fastings are late fours or very early fives. Had GDM with a two hour result of...

Did you just get diagnosed with your last pregnancy?

Thank you that is really helpful. Are the drugs you are on helping to preserve your remaining beta cells then as some stuff I am reading suggests that going to insulin straight away may help to do that. Have been reading the experiences of living with Type I and it has frightened me. Also...

Thank you, I will do. Yes just seeking opinions and what type I is like as a mum of more than two children. I find at the moment I am struggling to remember to snack when busy with both (but one is a baby) and worry about what that would be like when I really do need to stick to strict mealtimes...

Thanks very much that is helpful, might I ask are you on insulin now? Have you found the management of your lada to be as restrictive as gdm? I went for a 30-40min walk after every meal and followed a stiff low GI diet. I would say the walking was tricky to fit around family life and that was...
