Thank you @bulkbiker , @Brunneria and @LittleGreyCat. Very interesting indeed.

Thanks. You say insulin production declines with T2 but I keep reading on here that people with T2 produce too much insulin because they are insulin resistant. Are you saying there can be two different types of T2?

8-10 years! That’s the longest I’ve heard of.

Welcome. I agree with everything above but just to adds couple of tips that may help in addition to everything else. Don’t snack if possible. It makes a difference. What you eat at night will probably have an effect on your readings the next day. Eating earlier rather than later in the...

Thanks for the replies. I find this all so confusing as I seem to get told a different thing from every HCP I speak to!

So if I’m possibly getting lower in my insulin output I should be classed as LADA? I’m waiting results of a new c peptide test. They won’t do a gad test as I “had one a few years ago and it was negative”. It’s all such hard work!! I was told LADA have antibodies. So confused!

I was told last week that someone can be T2 and have a lack of insulin lowering over time or be insulin resistant. I thought a lowering of insulin supply over time was the honeymoon period for LADA. I’m so confused.

In our local hospitals, patients have to wear them 24/7 when they are in. Even at night.

May we have your pizza base recipe please? I find fat head a bit rich so looking for an alternative. Thanks.

It sounds like we have the same doctor and nurse!! It is frustrating. Any doc I have spoken to can’t understand why I test. They are genuinely shocked. I have tried to explain that it makes a huge difference, but you can see they don’t want to hear that. Crazy.

It’s a very personal choice. I’ve had flu twice in my 55 years and never had a flu jab. I feel the chance of getting it are small. I don’t like the ingredients that are injected, but that’s just me and prefer to keep my immune system in tip top condition. You should do your research and decide...

@Tophat1900 Do you know any info about the difference please? Always wondered why everyone seems to get a blood test but I had a urine test. Thanks.

I had a urine c peptide test too and no one can tell me why it was urine rather than blood.

Yes so much easier if everyone eats the same thing. I feel sooooooo much better too! It’s amazing how the slow process of feeling under par often goes unnoticed. My youngest eats fewer carbs these days and her mood had improved.

I was vegetarian before diagnosis. Now that I eat meat, I feel better and BG better controlled..

Yes I had a scan but it ended up being almost every organ! They were looking to see if I had a pancreatic tumour.

@emerald0 why do you put milk in scrambled eggs? Skip the milk as it just makes them watery. Add another egg if you need a larger portion.

Try not to stress. It is early days. You will have good days and bad days. I just can’t tolerate any grains now. Only eat if you are hungry and not because you think we should have three meals a day. No snacking is a great rule to follow if you are not getting the numbers you want. Stay hydrated...

I understand now. Thank you. I’ll give them a call.

Both I guess. I had many tests in hospital but they found nothing. Not had a c-peptide blood test ever, only urine. There is just something not right. My BG went really high two months ago, pretty much overnight. I’m now temporarily on metformin but I’m still around 10 mostly. I’m currently 8.9...
