Yes, other previous studies have found a significant reduction in seizures with ketogenic diets. It begs the question, have some of these patients been misdiagnosed as some diabetics particularly those with a brittle diabetes profiles have rapid swings between acute hypoglycemia and...

So very, very sad. I am so sorry for the family. I'm also sorry for the GP, a human who has set out to help people and yet has made a mistake. GP's have been put under unrealistic pressure: required to see too many patients for a 10min consultation which is not long enough in many cases, and...

HiThere are several diseases that can cause secondary diabetes which often present as atypical diabetes, so this is something you could ask your GP to consider. A glucose meter can be helpful in understanding your response to food and diet. Look into low carb diets, hopefully your diabetic...

How very sad. Unfortunately some things you shouldn't do, I was banned from driving due to my diabetes and this limits every aspect of my life permanently. At 55 I find I have an accumulation of unfortunate experiences from not getting that job to she's drunk to she suffers anxiety when really...

Well done for looking into your condition and trying to understand it. And yes minimising highly processed carbohydrate will help a lot. Good luck x

Too high, too low, ketoacidosis, all of the above. Shame not to test blood sugar as this would give a clue. See a Dr get some appropriate tests. And Love her. X

Time will be the ultimate judge, when I suggested low carb around 2000 I was generally laughed at or told it was rubbish inspite of having just completed a degree in science and having diabetes. Now it's pretty much mainstream.Why? Because medical doctors, specialists and consultants are seeing...

There has been quite a lot in science about the prevalence of adult onset type 1 diabetes and acknowledgment that many assumed type 2 have actually turned out to be type 1.

It has certainly become clear that diabetes is not as simple as once thought. It can show diverse etiology and presentation with ever growing subtypes. Sites like this help reveal this and that is really good.

Don't panic. I would say in my humble opinion, you are doing fine. If your blood glucose measurements are below 8.5mmol and above 4mmol that's really good and not challenging your health a great deal. My understanding of the situation is: that physiologically your organs/body starts to have a...

Actually an acute rise or fall in blood glucose can give you seizures particularly if it has gone high followed by a rapid fall. This is known by medical professionals and can happen during an OGTT. And that's without insulin being given. The reason i know this is that it has happened to me in...

I'm afraid I've been like this for decades and that's without any medication, blood glucose hitting 17 mmolL-1 then very low hypos often below 2.1mmo-1. I therefore avoid carbohydrate so it is difficult for the blood sugar to go high in the first place. It's worth realising that your reaction to...

Did you have a sweet drink perhaps, or sugar in you tea, an orange juice etc.

:):):)

Well that's really good news! I guess if you stick with a low carb diet you may even be able to reverse your diabetes. :-)

Hello, well how much carbohydrate you ate would be relevant, but this reading implies that your indigenous insulin release is responding well to food, ( I am presuming that you're not on medication ) However, if you check your blood sugar around the one hour mark after eating you'll get an idea...
