It's so good reading other people's stories. Amazing what you can achieve when you put your mind to something.

Diet, Sleep and water. what's your BMI?

So I was diagnosed in May after a near fatal DKA with diabetes. Can I honestly say it has changed my life, YES. It has massively impacted on what would have been normal for me, and I realise now how bad I was to myself with the foods I used to eat. Yeah, I do get jealous when my wife is eating...

Thanks guys, your replies has brighten up my day. I guess I just need to accept it and make the most of it.

So here's the background info on my situation. https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/confused-why-my-diabetes-team-wont-take-me-off-of-insulin.175527/ So 2 weeks ago the results from the c-peptide test came back as low. But when i took the test months ago I was on a tight insulin regime...

you should probably have your medication reviewed, with such low numbers, i'm finding myself recently in the same boat but i've been slowly coming off meds this month, seems meds were just stopping my body from functioning and it's definitely working. I was on the same regime as you, novo 3...

low 4s.

Yeah I do engage at parties with cake etc, body doesn't respond and sometimes it's very low, but this is recent, since i stopped the insulin, i'm running dangerously low these days, have to walk with sweets with me because i'm scared of hypos. But you are right everyone is different. I tried a...

Look I hardly get above 6. I've now stopped insulin and my range is 4-5.4 now. I'm running close to hypo readings even after my meal. I've lost 10kg in 4 weeks on the only diet i'm telling you now works. 0 carbs, one small plate of food a day, stay hydrated with water. Here's what to eat. Large...

The sooner you can get onto a low carb high fat style of food the better you will feel in yourself. You can still have the occasional dark chocolate in moderation, but I would suggest you reduce carb intake as soon as you can. You'll notice slowly the weight will drop off and you have ample...

Had a checkup today by my GP nurse, she said that they are investigating how this has happened, she raised her concerns that things weren't done correctly and is awaiting until the investigation is over and said she will notify me of all the facts. Good News is my HBA1C is down to 57 from 96 a...

To be honest I only got involved with the whole mental health team because of my wife. I generally like to face problems and anything that stresses me head on. That's how I grew up and that's all I know. I wouldn't say I was low, more like confused but I always channel positivity in the darkest...

Spoke to her last night about it and the overwhelming support from all of you to confirm what i was thinking was where the majority would agree with and that I will write a letter to the CCG and GP. She said fine, and left it as that. I was under a different unit last year when I started taking...

I totally agree with you.

Yeah I think they've more than paid back, thanks for the feedback, think I'm going to go with my gut on this, happy to be alive to me is worth more. Maybe as a compromise, I will ask them why events had to unfold like this and how they will want to ensure it doesn't happen to someone else.
