You have to smile I guess, extremely well done on what you have achieved - don't let anyone detract from that- you are doing very well. At my last checkup a few weeks ago I tentatively asked about the chances of getting a referral for a Coronary Artery Calcium scan ( which was refused ) - the...

To be honest I starting to look at how I could construct a single meal at 1500 calories - I currently LCHF - no more than 30g carb per day - I eat breakfast, very small lunch ( handful nuts, cold cuts, cheese) , one evening meal - and that pretty much adds up to about 1500-1800 calories per day...

Absolutely fascinating to read this - thank you for taking the time to post the results - thinking I might give this a try, although having dipped a toe with Intermittent Fasting over the last year, my BG levels always seem to rise slightly having not eaten all day - although must admit, I...

Yes fasted test - it was done as part of recent bank of tests -Hba1c/Lipids etc - so fasted for 12 hours - so probably was dehydrated to a some degree.

My GFR in Aug 16 ( when I was first diagnosed T2 ) = 90, this round of Tests ( Sep 17) now at = 86 - I don't understand the significance of it - if any ? or the level of test to test variance - will discuss with GP next week - thanks for the info.

Thanks @paulliljeros for the info, my Creatinine levels came out OK, within normal range so I am hoping that Urea result is either just a statistical outlier, or I was a bit dehydrated/combined with diet. Looking at your signature, you have a substantial CKD challenge ?- wish you all the best...

After most recent Blood Tests, all looking good on Hba1c ( albeit higher than my last test ) and Lipids are spot on reference ratios etc - I have had a RED marker on one of my Kidney function tests - not due to see Doc until next week so thought would ask has anyone experienced this. I have had...

Welcome to the forum - reference testing, you will see from the different comments above that we are all different in response to foods, you have made a massive step in the right direction with using a meter, this along with a food diary and logged results will allow you to see what spikes you...

You could try asking her if she drives ?- if she does, how does she follow speed limits on the road ?- Does she : A) look at the speedometer every few seconds/minutes to measure her speed, and then continuously adjusts her inputs on the brakes/accelerator ?- therefore maintaining a desired...

A big thank you to @bulkbiker , @CherryAA , and @Bluetit1802 for doing this test - fascinating stuff and very brave. I would be willing to have a go at this once I get my next Hba1C done (end of Sep) - I know it probably wouldn't make that much difference as a one off, but cant bring myself to...

Have you considered the option to skip breakfast completely ? - lots of folk on here don't bother with - some people see benefits of extending the overnight fast through to lunch time ?- it may sound very difficult - but one of the things I have learned with this condition is that it can...

Looks like the chart profiles that Joseph Kraft pioneered with the theory of 'Diabetes In Situ' - great info here on it. http://www.thefatemperor.com/blog/2015/5/10/lchf-the-genius-of-dr-joseph-r-kraft-exposing-the-true-extent-of-diabetes Thinking I might get myself a fasting insulin test out of...

Highly recommend you read Richard Bernstein-Diabetes Solution- he is T1 - a pioneer of personal BG testing and covers this topic in the book reference effective ways for T1 to keep insulin levels low - you are very correct in stating its as important ( if not more ) than controlling BG levels -...

1) eating fat - does not make you fat - I wish I knew this 30 years ago :) 2) eat to your meter - the best advice, ever :) 3) I now know how good it feels to have a 32'' waist again :) 4) it's relentless - I have nothing but respect and admiration for everyone who lives with it :(

fantastic journey - really hope our newly diagnosed club members see posts like this - truly inspirational- well done.
