    Mastering Diabetes

    Yes, LADA and on insulin (misdiagnosed T2 previously). I’m interested in this WOE, too. Hoping someone can share their experiences. If I start it, I’ll share mine too. Can’t change my type label in the phone app. A little annoying, but not vital I guess. ‍♀️

    Mastering Diabetes

    Hi all, does anyone follow a plant based approach? Looking for any anecdotes. Specifically about increased numbers from higher carbs over time. Many thanks.

    Am I crazy?

    My experience: if you ARE crazy - so am I! I was diagnosed T2 initially but incorrectly. Tests proved I am LADA, despite low carb diet, and I am now using insulin basal/bolus. Initially, in a fit of excitement for being able to maybe relax my tightly controlled LC diet, I thought I would...

    Baking with sugar alternatives like xylitol

    I use a monk fruit sweetener for baking cakes and find it has no weird aftertaste. It has no impact on my bg either. (Be aware xylitol is fatal to pets.) Also, to keep things low I use almond and/or coconut flour instead of wheat flour. There are many experts online with tried and tested...

    Christmas Food - tried and tested keto LCHF treats?

    Hello all, totally thinking about Christmas in May! Haha. Has ANYONE manage to make a Keto version of pastry that is not soggy after a day? I’ve made the Keto mince pies and they are so lush, but don’t stay crumblesome beyond the day of baking. Any top tips out there? Thanks, all. I know there...

    Just wondering what people eat as T1.5s…

    No - I’m on a prescribed fixed dose (by my doctor). I think I want to split that into separate long / rapid acting but she wants me to keep me on the fixed. Not sure of the benefit of this as I feel it’s bad to keep chucking lots of long acting in as well as the rapid acting to cover a more...

    Thanks for this. I wonder if I can get on a DAFNE course if I’m not in the UK. I had no idea about the 5 hrs thing.

    Just wondering what people eat as T1.5s…

    Hi, I had little idea about what I was injecting back then! I’m not in the UK and don’t have a team around me to explain things. I’ve just kind of worked carbs/insulin out as I’ve gone along. I’m on a combined 70/30 pen injection at the moment but would like to separate that out. However, Dr...
