@Outlier "and it isn't about me getting with the computer age" No, but if you can see where the disconnect is, it's really a question of using the best tool. For example, you can take the app and show it to your GP and they should be able to update it in real time right there in the surgery, so...

Try not to fry them in seed / vegetable oil, but other than that - whatever you like. I'm currently using silicon moulds in an air fryer with grated cheese and avocado oil (with pepper and salt, which lets the egg cook at slightly lower temp).

Totally agree with @Antje77 on this. The primary purpose of a C Peptide test is that for someone who is injecting insulin, you can also tell if the pancreas is independently making more. You already know you are producing insulin. I'm not sure whether it's a comfort or not, but statically IR is...

Poor phrasing on my part.. I only meant that in comparison you were definitely a T1 after 2 years.. where @Aurelie is now.

If you're talking ACE-2 receptors, then you're talking my language.... :cool: Great - so at the very least I know you're on the same wavelength. Timing - who knows ... @Antje77 was very much 2 years and done. I'm not so much saying that antibodies are acute, so much as they are a reaction to...

Ok - so there are some patterns here, but (if you haven't already figured this out yourself) - It does not seem that you are a "normal" case - and I say that completely neutrally - only in the sense that you should take care listening to anyone, and especially me... first and second phase...

I managed not to reply to your earlier post - what did your endo say about your antibody test, and is there a reason for not wanting to do the C-peptide? You mentioned surprisingly sudden glucose spiking and wanting to reduce that - when did that start happening?

@Antje77 - The source is basic chemistry - only proteins have nitrogen, so if you taste ammonia, that's because your body has some nitrogen to get rid off. But in the interest of the forum rules (this really isn't a contentious point, so here's a link from runners world)...

@Aurelie - LADA is real - not questioning that at all. But - the other way to look at this is - You may or may not have a failing Pancreas (actually a tiny part of a tiny part of your pancreas) If you are (because of an auto-immune attack) - there is nothing that will prevent, and you will be...

Yes - it isn't a problem with the UK generally, but there is huge variance up and down the country - for me, I have an app that I can reorder supplies with and a couple of days later, I get a text from Boots to say they are available. Couldn't be easier. The same app records all my medical...

The longest journey still starts with a single step.. excellent news..

It's entirely possible, as many here can attest. I would only caution that without understanding the role insulin and insulin resistance plays, you may find it more difficult that you might expect.

I woke up yesterday in a flap. The day before, a colleague told me a dumb joke- "what did Yoda say after seeing himself on a 4K screen for the first time.?" -- "HDMI" Anyway - back to six AM, and I wake bolt upright, with the fully formed thought "but Yoda speaks in anglicised German...

Not the same thing (at least not quite) but I've constantly got Obsidian open. It's a note taking app that can kind of be all things at the same time, so it feels like a daily journal, but I can also use it for all of the keeky metabolism learning I constantly do, and just need to tag a...

I think this is a topic that just cannot be underestimated. When I joined this forum - I had grand plans about writing some kind of self-help pamphlet that was going to be called something along the lines of "the 5 Ss" - sugar starch seed oils sleep and stress, then I was going to break down why...

As said - we really cannot advise anything in terms of meds... But - if you can get in touch sooner - 4 weeks is a long time; you have started a med regime, and then made some extremely positive changes in your diet, that are having an effect on your blood glucose level (that's great) - and it...

Then to dig a little deeper. Caffeine will also (again, different for different people) raise cortisol, which can increase blood glucose, but that is the only affect directly. Other than that, it's bizarrely full of soluble fibre and polyphenols - all of which are generally thought of as...

They can both affect insulin resistance directly by affecting sleep. Can doesn't mean will, coffee because caffeine inhibits melatonin (like really well, it's why you get that jolt) - so I never have coffee after lunch - caffeine can be active up to 10 hours after you drink it. People are very...

A fabulous way to start the morning - thank you.. (struggling to type with a little cat in my arms, purring loudly)

Oh - for sure - I'm really not offering this as some kind of original idea - more that it was kind of a lightbulb moment for me - hang on, I can just go straight into a fast? - and it's clearly (obviously) got to be effective, but more so, it was just easy because of all the days I've fasted for...
