Hi @Keggering, thank you so much for your post, it really gives me hope! I've had a similar experience for the past 8 months. Best wishes.

erm, 9 at 9am...was 5.7 before bed at 11.30...I had quite a big meal last night (LCHF of course) and also ate lunch yesterday, which I don't normally do these days (was feeling the hunger yesterday). I also dropped my tresiba by 2u, as I've been a touch on the low side each morning (LOL), so 9...

Wish you best of luck.

Hi @Tilly_S I wish you all the best. You've already had a lovely healthy baby and your HbA1C results now are great, so you're maintaining good control. Just to say I'm no expert with pregnancy and can't imagine the additional anxiety on top of the usual diabetes worries. From what you say you're...

A couple of glasses of dry red wine like a merlot doesn't affect my BG control.

I know exactly what you mean. Having tried low carb off and on over the years, I either gradually drifted back to full carb binge or not so gradually when I was upset or stressed, which was most of the time. It used to really bother me about my joint problems, trigger finger, inflammation and...

I hope the change in diet helps you, good luck. I also was a massive comfort eater, especially crisps and sandwiches (and my weight testifies to that). And high HbA1Cs for years...

Hi I have trigger finger which I've had for about 6 years. Its weird as I have to move my finger when it "catches". But I'm used to now. Over the years I've had soreness and inflammation in my trigger finger, both wrists and knees, which I put down to getting old (I'm 39 LOL). I was also unable...

4.2 since 8.30, still 4.2, do not feel hypo or anything. Was 6.9 before bed at 11, cheese and red wine...before I changed to LCHF I would have definitely over corrected a 4.2 but just had 3 black coffees instead (normal for me).

I am lchf and had the same issue with higher morning fasting glucose, requiring small bolus corrections, a lot of the time pre bed, as well as on rising. My BG would go up 2mmol by the time I woke up and went downstairs :( Anyway, I changed from lantus to tresiba 6 weeks ago and I can't believe...

I absolutely love my libre, me too

I remember sending £10 to the DVLA when my photolicence "expired" after 10 years.. only for them to send my cheque back and issue another one free. So there are some benefits...:rolleyes:

Hi AlisterCat I've got type 1, driving for about 17 years. I've informed the DVLA I have type 1 and they send me a medical form every 3 years. The licence is medically restricted and renewed every 3 years and I've not had any issues so far (touch wood). I think they referred the form to the...

I like that ;)

Thanks everyone. I mean, I've got background retinopathy which is stable and a bit of nerve damage in my legs, but nothing too severe, so I know I'm lucky for my diabetes to be as good as it is. It's just that I've stopped worrying about minor things, which makes me worry why I'm not worrying...

I've got to the point now where, although things bother me, nothing worries me more than the diabetes complications. I've always worried about very stupid things, especially work and just anxious all the time and it led me to drink too much etc. But now the only thing that really scares me is...

that's still a great result!

I switched to Tresiba 6 weeks ago as I kept having higher results than I wanted in the morning, despite low carb (average 8-11). I was on 18u of lantus AM and PM - the split dose worked better. DSN offered tresiba, with 20% less as @robert72 also mentions. I'm now taking 30u of tresiba in the...

Pretty much exactly the same experience for me too! I put on weight, initially liked DAFNE because I could eat what I want...did not work. Now low carb like you and results dramatically better. I would recommend it to anyone.

5.7, went a touch low overnight but steady now
