Have been feeling unwell, night was very weird: completely dry mouth, not peeing though. Glucose after 6 hours of last meal at 2am was 6.2 mmol/l and it stays there for the whole day today. Any food triggers horrible headache. I last time had glucose above 6 without any food when having a flu...

I am slowly ramping up my carb intake and will find out soon if my glucose regulation will normalize, or not. I feel like the endo said to do exactly that: eat carbs again, measure for a few weeks and see what numbers tell. Then eat foods that won't send me sky high. Makes sense. Just needed...

I will keep this short. Last December, I googled some symptoms and I thought it was diabetes. Went to a doc, who did A1c and fasting (normal). I also stopped eating carbs because of being afraid of type 1 diabetes and not being able to handle carbs. I did OGTT which I failed at 13.2 mmol/l at 2...

Yes, I did it while following keto. I am kind of afraid of trying to eat carbs again because they spike me and make me feel ill. I am under supervision of a doctor and she agrees with dietary choice but prefers it to not be permanent. Keto puts strain on liver for glucogenesis and in her...

I just got really sick with flu since yesterday. I have not eaten for the last 15 hours and my blood glucose was alarmingly high - 7.0 mmol/l . Is this normal to have such huge elevations during illness? I am not sure if I have diabetes ...

I have been monitoring my blood glucose for a few years and have had various scares about diabetes. A year ago, after a heavy carb load I felt really bad, my stomach hurt and I had ketone breath. I went to my GP who did tests that has shown no diabetes. I started a ketogenic diet at the same...

Interesting. What is the source of this graph?

Thing is, my c-peptide was a bit below normal range so whatever insulin resistance I had at a time, it was caused by physiological insulin resistance, not pathological. People have glucose-resistant muscles when in ketosis. I think my problem is insulin deficiency but not enough to cause...

Yes, LC lifestyle makes me feel mostly normal. I don't gain or lose weight, it is somewhat stable. I don't feel very hungry on it. I would relax and enjoy life, but I just feel really bad when I get those spikes to 7 mmol/l. They eventualyl come down but I feel so out of order, have to cease...

You mean this sounds like the beginning of type 2? Foods that spike me are carbs. All of them. If I eat mix of fat and protein with low carb veggies, I don't go above 6 mmol/l much. Give me a banana and I feel bad, 30 mins later the BG is like 7-9 mmol/l, same with bread. My GP cannot do...

I found this forum through Google. I want to share a story and see what people think. I will preface that all of this happened a year ago where an endocrinologist decided this is not diabetes. November 2017, started feeling run-down. Two years before, during stressful period in life, I was not...
