Hi I am applying for PIP with T1 LADA diabetes i have had since diagnosis in 2011. When you say fill out the form as a "worst day" did you actually state this was a singular worst day scenario? Or did you need to put a frequency on the worst day scenario E.g. on average every fifth day i have an...

I've trial tested virtually all of the apps available for IOS on the app store and ive come to the conclusion that there are two which stand out above the rest: DiabeteApp and MyNetDiary Diabetes. Both of these let you track net carbs at meals, have a database of foods, track insulin and track...

Hello all, This will be my last update for a while, hopefully my next post will be 4 years no insulin..... then 5 years no insulin..... but we'll see. I find the more I read about the "D word" the more I get anxious, including reading this forum Anyhow since my "blip" a month ago I've been on...

Hi SarahRuth, I was diagnosed 3 years ago with high BG and was told I would be on insulin within months. It's been over 3 years now and despite the occasional blip my BG has been perfect and I'm yet to take any insulin. My solution like IanDP's was to radically change my diet. I've been raw...

Very happy for you Ian, you are doing extremely well indeed! 5.1% is a very good A1C which represents very normal and well controlled BG. I am waiting for another 2 months before I go back and get mine done again, i'll keep you posted on how that goes

Oh and by the way i had my c-peptide checked and its still in the normal range :)

Hi EveryCloud, I feel for what youve been through lately and coincidentally a similar thing has happened to me over the same period. Take a look at my thread here http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/lada-diagnosis-3yrs-ago-no-insulin.77108/ start at post #18. How are your blood sugars...

UPDATE Ok so i think i have returned to normal now (touching every bit of wood around me). My GP seemed to think it was a virus but im only 50% convinved by that. Personally i think as a result of my actions - drinking only low carb green smoothies for 1 week, including some new supplements in...

Smidge, IanDP thank you for your comments they made me feel much better :) I guess my thread slightly changed context from preventing LADA to potentially getting LADA but i am being open and honest with the good times and the bad so people can see I'm not advertising some miracle cure Anyway...

P.s. if anyone is interested, here are my phase 1 recovery smoothie recipes i invented. Each recipe assumes a 2 litre blender jug and the product is split into 2 single litres which are a meal each. Yes they taste weird..... Tomato & Parsely 1+1/2 avacado 4 good size tomatos 4 sticks celery...

UPDATE So thursday, friday saturday i struggled to keep my numbers in range despite starting on saturday my 7 day experiment consuming only phase 1 green smoothies. Saturday afternoon i drank a pathetic cabbage & onion smoothie, my peak after 1 hour was 9.0 and 8.3 2 hours after eating. My...

Guys there's been an alarming change unfortunately Thursday afternoon i came home and tested my blood 3 hours after a basic (phase 1.5 rainbow green) salad. It was 8.8 mmol It took me a 3 mile run and 3 mile walk to get it down to around 5.5 mmol Yesterday my fasting was 4.7 mmol indicating...

p.s. sorry for the delays in answering questions, with work, making food and exercising i dont get a lot of time to myself :)

From what ive found Nicotinamide is a love hate relationship, on the one hand i've read in several places (including cousens' books) that Nicotinamide is good for prevention/healing T1 but on the other hand it does have side effects.... Particularly: decreased urination and migraines which i...

Personally i think the supplements MAY have a some effect on my anxiety but i believe my anxiety is largely down to my huge fear of contracting T1. For all those who are T1 by the way i realise its probably not that bad but for me it is my big C. So basically i think no is the answer I try to...
