Thank you all for your extremely helpful and reassuring comments, I've given my head and my mindset a shake and will soldier on as was for now. I'm still not eating until about 1pm each day as just not hungry at all, rarely ever feel hungry nowadays! I'm upping my exercise a bit more too now...

Thank you for your reply. The header is perhaps out of date, the "does it matter" bit was addressed earlier in the thread, I just posted an update on here as wasn't sure where it should be posted and keeps replies together. Any ideas as to why my bloods are running high on relatively little...

Quick update - hba1c after 3 months of low carb diet has reduced from 78 to 58 - is this good? could it be better? I am finding that my bloods are higher than they should be, even after long periods of no food whatsoever. Today for example I was 9.5 at 4pm after not having eaten since 9pm...

Yep and all whilst rolling her eyes and tutting too no doubt but I'm prepared for her this time and feeling ready to take her on! I feel better, so much better, bloods are lower so proof is in the not to be eaten pudding I guess! Seeing those single figures is so motivating.

Oh thanks I'll have a look for that and get them popped in! 7.9 this morning, so chuffed

Quick update...bloods in single figures all day today apart from 2 hrs after lunch when it went from 8 to 10 briefly but 6k steps got it back down to 7! Feel so much better without running at 12 - 15 all day and loving LC eating! Fingers crossed levels continue to improve until I see the nurse...

Thank you so much, such a helpful place to be! The nurse totally rocked me even with the knowledge that I've gained over the years and just made me doubt myself chronically! So infuriating! Very reassuring to hear that it is possible to do this without the meds, they can stay in their box for...

Thank you so much everyone, I really appreciate the input and support. Yes you are right Jo, I am the worst of patients - informed and I do my research as had to battle many times and diagnosed my own UAT whilst heads were still being shaken - it frustrates the life out of me. Thinking for...

Totally agree, but how do I find out when nurse is adamant that it's type 2? after many years of helping to manage my daughter's type 1 and having a good understanding of type 2 (to a point!) it is so frustrating to not know what I am dealing with for myself. I had to push to even get my hba1c...

Yep, I totally agree but unfortunately nurse doesn't so I'm stuck with her opinion that as I am not 6 or slim it must be type 2. Very frustrating.

Good evening all, newly diagnosed today, spoke with nurse today on the phone, I asked if I was Type 1 or 2 and was advised that as I am not a spring chicken and overweight it is bound to be type 2 (I disagree) She inferred that it doesn't matter whether I am Type 1 or 2 - is that right? Do I...
