Re: Alcohol! Ha ha! Probably better for the sugars than Malibu! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I'm going out tomorrow with some work friends and wondered if a few Malibu's would be a serious issue with my relatively new diagnosis of LADA? Is there anything I can do that enables me to have a drink without going too high or low? So far I'm not on insulin - managing through diet only but...

I didn't even think about the insurance. Where did you get yours from? Xx Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Ok so I'm not 17 and I don't have friends/family that are really aware if what diabetes is but I feel exactly the same as you. I hate diabetes, I wanted to book a holiday for me, my husband and my daughter but I just don't know how to manage my diabetes in that situation. Family meals are a...

I have recently started a gluten free diet and have noticed my sugars seem to be lower than usual - down from 7s and 8s to 5s! Has anyone else been on a gluten free diet and noticed this? Coincidence? Thanks, Sarah Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

It took us 8 months to get pregnant after having implant removed but I have Endometriosis which no doubt played a part in it taking that long. During preg I went from no insulin (no diabetes) to getting gestational diabetes and being on over 100 units of insulin a day. I also had polyhydramnios...

I try and eat healthily - I aim for less than 130g carbs a day and keep calorie intake at about 1300-1400 and that works for me. Maybe try low GI and just see if it works for you, give it a couple if weeks and if you aren't seeing the changes you want; try something else. Sent from the...

Is it normal for high blood sugars to affect your sleep? My bloods have been reaching more than 10 in the night, I have started waking up, feeling awful. It's taking me hours to get back to sleep - usually when sugars have dropped again. Anyone else get this or have any advice? Thanks, Sarah...

Re: BG levels Hi Smidge, Thanks for your reply. I am LADA and was diagnosed after having gestational diabetes. I was told the levels on my GAD test were really high? I am currently only testing first thing in the morning and usually my levels are 7-8 so not as high as they were during...

What were your levels when you were put on treatment? I'm type 1.5 and levels are creeping up very slowly. I have an appt in April to see my DSN and I think she'll want me to start treatment. Just wondered what your sugars were at and how they were treated initially? Thanks Sarah [SMILING...
