Glad to hear most of your results were in the normal range @peterb999. As @lovinglife says don't overthink it. There is nothing worst than the unknown for overthinking and worrying. Googling always brings up the worst. As for AI, I don't trust it at all. It's certainly not a HCP. It can in no...

Thanks @OrsonKartt . That was my brother's LADA journey, years at prediabetic levels then it started trending upwards. He was not on a low carb diet though. I did the very low carb diet for nine months, it had very little effect on my blood sugars. 10 years when first diagnosed type 2. It just...

That's great you got the correct diagnosis @OrsonKartt . May I ask when you started to question your T2 diagnosis? I have low normal C- Peptides , BMI around 19 , I exercise 3-4 hours a day. I'm having to exercise really hard to keep my figures in the prediabetic range . I drop my carbs and my...

@bmtest with reference to your use of AI Mods recognize that AI is a fast emerging technology and is starting to permeate many aspects of our lives. We do, however, caution members using AI. AI is certainly not 100% reliable and draws from many sources, some of which are questionable if not...

Actually DP is normal @What is in a name it's just that as diabetics our pancreas' cannot cope with the rise in blood glucose. Our circadian rhythm system governs many metabolic processes including the release of cortisol and growth hormones in the early hours , 3am ish. These hormones 'tell...

@What is in a name I cannot help you with your question on drug interaction between Indomethacin and Gliclazide. I do have arthritis in all my joints, including both hips and my entire spine. I have had arthritis since my 20's. I cannot take NSAIDS as I have peptic ulcer disease . I definitely...

I used mine for quite some time @Mrs T 123 . I'm actually using one I got free on a British Airways flight. To be honest it works just as well.

I had an email from Abbott saying that Canadians now have access to the Libre 3. How do people find the Libre 3 compared to the Libre 2. Our Libre 2's seem to be the same as the UK Libre 2 plus as we don't need to swipe the phone to get a reading it does it automatically. So just wondering how...

Wishing you a speedy recovery @LittleGreyCat

I'm not sure which province you live in @May Mic , but here in BC independent coffee shops, such as Blenz, feature strongly here.

Whilst I sometimes grumble when sensors fail, I must say @Retepnhoj I have had nowhere near 30% failure rate. In the years I've been using them from 2022, both the Libre 1 & 2 , I have had about 10 complete fails. Some haven't gone the full 14 days.Several have fallen off or I have accidentally...

@Rosie9876 I'm going put a link into your other thread here https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/two-newly-applied-libre-2-plus-sensors-fail.209694/ Members when trying to help you with suggestions, may not be aware of your thread on 'Two newly applied Libre 2plus sensors fail', so you may...

I was going to suggest you fingerprick as that is a relatively reliable blood sugar measurement in real time. Hypos are horrible and scary. I had one a couple of days ago while out on a hike. Luckily I was close to home. I Suddenly wanted to throw up, checked my libre, but it was on 'Pause' due...

Sorry I didn't catch your last post, we cross posted @conniecar .

@conniecar Slightly off topic. I too have coeliac disease as does my daughter. Even though we are both 100% gluten free this autoimmune disorder has far reaching effects beyond our gut. Mine is my skin, but the reason I have brought this up is the impact it has on our brains. So looping back to...

Like @grantg my new sensors always read lower than actual for the first 24 hours or so. I read somewhere, (sorry I'm not able to attribute that comment to a source so treat it with the weight it deserves) , that the foreign object aka the sensor filament causes an immune response like any wound...

Hi @Rosie9876 so both successfully completed the hour 'warm up' period then once activated fail. I had one fail upon activation, I've also had one that failed to come out of the warm up period, and remained yellow. I've not had back to back failures. Iv'e always had a good response from the...

I test my FBG too, even though most of the time I'm wearing a CGM. I find it a useful indicator to see how my basal or base line insulin is doing. My base line was hovering between 6 mmol/ls - 7 ish a year or so ago. I increased my exercise regime , plus I started to take meds that increased...

As a child I ate a lot of swedes. We grew them for the cattle as a winter treat. I love them. I bake mine and then mash them. Salt and pepper with a little bit of butter.

Hi and welcome to the forum @westcornwall . You must be going through a very difficult and a very stressful time. I cannot help with the diet part of your question, I will leave that to other members. I can shed a little bit of light on the side effects of metformin. The exact mechanism by...
