Thank you. Cost was keeping me from testing more but I think I'll have to bite the bullet. I wouldn't drive when I felt so light headed. I have wondered about fake hypos but my Dr's rubbish that as well. IF has worked for me. Weight loss and lowering BG figures in 6 months. I wasn't getting...

Thank you. I'll have a proper read of this. I've had a quick look. It does seem to answer some of my questions. Thanks Kim

Hi. My hba1c was 74 mmol Oct 20th 2021. Weight 82kg. I started intermittent fasting (16/8) and lost 5kg from October to March. My diabetes nurse was pushing all this time to put me on Ozempic .5mg. In March I agreed but she wouldn't do a new hb1c. June 8th 2022 hba1c 43 and weight 75kgs but I'd...

Hi Jim Lahey recommended some reading from Jason Fung MD. Opened the complete guide to fasting and this amazing paragraph jumped out. I've been beating myself up for the last 6years. It's what has caused me extreme grief and yoyo ing between lapses. Now I've just got 2 books to read

Hi Jim I've been reading through your replies to another person having problems and I think I'm the same. Long story but diabetic review went badly. I'm now trying to get a Dr's appointment . I've order Dr Jungs books. Thank you for your time and help. Kind regards

Hi. Thank you for that. I'm glad you have support. I can't seem to get past nurse. She wants to put me on GLP 1 as the medicine reps say its safe. She lost me at that stage! No to testing. Not listening to my symptoms. Can't get an appointment with Dr who has most diabetes knowledge in practice...

I'm so sorry to hear that. I am very concerned about this type of drug and low carbs. I have another thread going as my BG levels are all over the place. What did you call low carbs? For me it's about 20g.

Has anyone any thoughts or views on going onto either of these drugs. Not having any faith in gps practice. I've high insulin resistance. I fast for about 12 hours. I don't lose weight etc when carbs are around 100. Only seems to work when carbs are around 20g My BG raises in the morning. Even...

I'm asking for a test about my insulin levels. See Jim's comments above. I'm also asking for a 2nd opinion on Lada 1.5 (late onset diabetes) If it is Lada then I'll be on insulin anyway so I'm thinking of going that way anyway. What are you planning to do?

Thank you. I hope you're sorted now My biggest battle is gp .

Sorry to hear that. Woken up to BG of 14 today.drafting a letter to GP today so he's seen it before my appointment with nurse. It makes you feel miserable that no one is listening

I was on sitalgliptin a year ago but moved to another part of the country and was put on alogliptin. I've never felt well on it!

Thank you for all your help. HBA1C should have read 63 - 75 . I should say that my anger flashes from 0 to 100 in a millisecond, I fall asleep after eating. I'm eating off a small plate as GP only talks about porton control. I did think of asking if he wants a letter from my 84year old mum to...

All meats, fish, lots of veg, cheese and cream not milk,. Counting carbs to keep me in 25 -35 range. If calorie counting I'm around 900 - 1000. No bread, chocolate, potatoes, rice or pasta until my figures come down. I have been wondering about Lada 1.5 but I'm carrying weight around my middle...

Thank you.

Oops Just re-read my notes just ignore the 1 in front of the HBA1C. Sorry

What's an insulin test? I'm seeing nurse again in 2 weeks so I'll look that up before I see her. Is it the same as the glucose intolerance test they do when diagnosing diabetes? Thank you

Meter reading on waking. In excess of 12. I have breakfast. Then usually 3 hours digging at the allotment, or heavy work around house. Currently I'm laying a new path and pressure washing, gardening for another 2 - 3 hours. Really heavy work. Then exhausted eating evening/dinner meal. Bg before...

BG is from my monitor contour next one . HBA1C is what GP nurse told me.

I don't eat from 8pm to after 8am. Often longer. Usually 2 meals a day. Breakfast and dinner between 2pm - 5pm. Have tried smaller meals more often but no difference. Thank you
