Regarding your above examples, these are huge projects with a sole focus. Funding for research into health conditions is split. For instance you simply could not fund to that kind of scale T1D, Alzheimer's, Cancer, Crohn's etc etc. That kind of level of Government funding for one disease over...

Interesting question. The answer essentially is that it is possible. This trial is probably in coeliac because it is less complicated- gluten causes immune cells to release antibodies that damage the epithelial cells. You can monitor this well. However with T1 there are so many different...

Essentially the immune system is incredibly complex and we still don't understand everything about it. There is an extremely fine balance between your immune system being active enough to fight off infection, but not so active that it causes allergy and autoimmune diseases like type one. There...

As a type one diabetic and immunology researcher, trust me it is not that simple.

Ouch! I haven't noticed any liver dump for me, but I have found that my morning coffee raises my blood sugar with or without a dash of milk due to the caffeine. Ooo I have just started reading the sugar surfing book, and I'm finding it very interesting so far. Do you know if your basal rate...

Yes, it is so much easier! I have actually found that it is better for me to skip breakfast, as that way my blood sugar stays stable for longer. It took a while but I don't get hangry any more! I will try your technique for lunch though :) Thanks!

This is a consistent thing for me so it looks like my basal rate is wrong, thanks! I was thinking I may have needed to insert breakfast to check afternoon basal rates in case the fasting is the reason for dropping, due to increased insulin sensitivity as the day goes on. I do not go low when I...

Morning! I was wondering if anyone notices a daily change in insulin sensitivity based on whether they have eaten or not? I don't eat breakfast, and when I eat lunch my basal seems to be ok with the bolus. However, if I ever skip lunch too, I need a 60% basal rate on for the afternoon or I go...

*Hopeful future doctor! And thank you

I am working towards my PhD so brain fog and lethargy would not be ideal! I have a lot of desk days but I do also have crazy days where I can only take a 5 min break in a 12 hour day. I think I shall try restricting carbs some what on the desk days and definitely take up some exercise on these...

Do you feel when you restrict to 100-130 g that you have enough energy?

Thank you for your reply. I have started pre blousing and even just blousing on time after reading this forum about a month ago! Previously I had become very sloppy after being diabetic for 15 years, a lot of things that are drilled in to you at first slip and you don't realise it! Apologies, I...

Hello, I have recently lowered my Hba1c by paying a lot more attention to my bs readings. However, I now want to go low carb to reduce swings and fluctuations. With socialising and work commitments I am worried about going Keto as I don't believe I will be able to effectively stick to it. My...

I appear to be one of the few people where my blood glucose levels become really stable and well controlled when I'm on my period, I have only recently discovered the trend using the libre! Thinking back, going on the pill for the first time may have coincided with my blood sugar levels being...
