I have been type 2 since nov 2005 never done tests for type one said I wouldn't be here would be very ill if it was type 1.The first 10 years were fine all bs under 8 after then over and above I always add chia seeds to Muslie and it was only two tbs of it.
And veg was turnip peas carrots onion ect.
Just dont understand at all just tested now 11.6 cannot win.
Sparklebrightisright.
Ok so 15 yrs is unlikely to be a misdiagnosed type 1. If you’ve been over producing insulin all these years and have yet more being added by injection then you are likely to have become more and more insulin resistant. It is also possible that you are now producing less after many years of your pancreas working flat out trying to keep up with the resistance. Hence the worsening of you levels and difficulty managing it.
Whilst you may be lower carb than many non diabetics I think if you want to do this with diet you are going to have to go lower still, maybe closer to keto. It may well be time to ask for your c-peptide to be checked to see just what insulin your body is still pushing out. If it’s loads then keto might replace the need for so many meds. If it’s not a lot then meds will definitely be required but maybe cutting more carbs could limit how much and also help give better levels.
Chia will not cancel out the carbs in museli. It might slow the rise a little but your body still has to cope with the same carbs going into it. I’d avoid cereals full stop. Have some bacon and/or eggs instead. It takes me less than 3 mins to scramble eggs broken directly into a frying pan, addino butter/cheese/cream/mustard as desired. Turnip is lower than potato for sure but not very low. I hardly eat peas and carrots as they can be quite problematic for some and in terms of veg they are among the higher carb veg. Same for onion.
Maybe refresh your understanding of low carb and keto here
https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb#avoid and try and pick foods from the lowest end of each range strictly for a while and see what happens. As you are on medication please please keep a close eye on what the levels are. Keto can make a big difference quickly and you don’t want to hypo. Meds can need adjusting almost immediately so be ready for that.
