Thank you ert I have asked about my c-peptide in here but could t get clarification. It was a urine test to be done after a meal. I’m not sure why it wasn’t a blood test. There are plenty of private specialists near me, I was just hoping to get a recommendation for someone amazing as I can’t...

Having still not seen or heard from anyone two months after being in hospital, I’ve decided to pay to go privately. However where do I find an expert; a true expert endo that actually specialises in diabetes, is forward thinking, up to date, interested and will not just spout the same old...

Do you mean the test solution?

How do this? Never heard if it. Thanks

I find my little fingers hurts the least and bleed the best

Funny I’d just done this survey before going on here. It would be interesting to know the results.

Might be worth taking some carb friendly snacks with you in case you are tempted. When we went to France I made sure I had a couple of loaves of LivLife bread with me just in case I was tempted by a baguette. As it happened I had to fight my family off as they kept eating it rather than the...

Yes of course it goes without saying that it depends on the individual, but if you are well controlled and heal well, there shouldn’t be a problem if you are careful and keep an eye on your feet!

So comfy and great for gardening.

I like going properly barefoot for the health benefits. Not sure if you’ve heard about earthing. Interesting concept but seemed to calm the family. Bit out there but works for us. Worth a Google!

I totally understand. Three years in and I still think that every ache or pain or symptom is to do with diabetes. In fact usually it’s not. As for walking barefoot, yes I most definitely do both inside and outside. It’s very good for your feet and particularly outside on the grass. I am fairly...

My food bill has definitely gone up as I was vegetarian before my diagnosis. I buy a lot of meat and dairy now that I didn’t before. However, the results speak for themselves and definitely worth the extra cost. I do buy quality and from a source that I know the animals have been reared well. I...

I’ve been low carb/Keto for over three years now and after a recent unexpected stay in hospital with what seemed like every blood test possible, I was told my blood was definitely not acidic.

I’d say ignore. Are you self funding? If so, definitely ignore. I have learnt so much my testing. We are all different and what works for one, won’t work for another. Carry on an you will learn what with for you. They usually say not to test for financial reasons.

Do you mean sharing with other people? No, I don’t think so. Screenshot is the only way I can think of.

That’s amazing!! I’ve never heard of an Hba1c that high. Well done!

Don’t panic. There are plenty on here who started out higher I was 112! Down to 36 within three months doing LCHF and stayed there for three years. Having a blip at the moment, but that’s another story....!

Thank you. That is very helpful. I’d be interested to hear how you went about finding someone.

Well LC worked wonders from day one for three years. Unfortunately something is definitely and suddenly not right at all and I’m Hardly eating anything at the moment.

Thank you for your reply. Yes it’s time I need as I have so many questions!
