What you're feeling might just be the "keto flu," which happens when your body’s adjusting. It can last a while, and the symptoms, like brain fog and aches, can be frustrating. Adding some electrolytes or bone broth might help you feel better and get through this slump. But if you go back to...

Sometimes even the stuff that seems fine, like toast, can throw things off. If you’re used to being in the low sevens and it’s spiking, it might help to cut out things like bread or grains for a bit, just to see if that helps balance things out. Exercise can do wonders but can also mess with...

It's wild how inconsistent the info can be depending on the GP. You're not wrong, Mounjaro is available on the NHS for type 2 in some cases, but you have to meet certain criteria. Might be worth asking again or even getting a second opinion if you think it's the better fit for you. As for...

Even "healthier" carbs like wholewheat bread or pasta can still spike your blood sugar. You might wanna try cutting back on those or switching them out with lower-carb veggie options. Also, testing before and after meals can help pinpoint what’s affecting your BG. Keep pushing with that activity...

Hey @jayne j, I get your concern about insulin, but don’t stress. Your vision should improve as your blood sugars stabilize. Docs are just checking if diet and meds can help first. If you’re up for it, cutting carbs might help get those numbers down without insulin.

It's tough to figure out what's going on, but LADA could be in the mix, especially with how your insulin needs changed. The drop in insulin might be your body catching up, but it's hard to say without more tests. If your C-peptide levels are low, that’s usually more T1-related.

I had a similar situation and also freaked out a bit after reading about Charcot online. Everything sounds worst-case when you Google it. The good thing is it really does make a big difference that they caught yours early. The moon boot and staying off the foot are annoying, but they work. I’ve...

I totally get how frustrating it can be trying to figure out which phone will work. The A55 should work fine with the Omnipod 5 app, even though it's not listed on some of the older compatibility lists. The main thing is that the phone needs to have a recent version of Android and support...

There isn't really a one-size-fits-all table for insulin doses based on weight and blood sugar, as it depends on a lot of factors, like your activity level, diet, and how your body responds. But some people use a rough guideline where about 1 unit of insulin is given per 10-15 grams of carbs, or...

Wow, that’s a big drop! Yeah maybe it could be an error say for instance confusing the results. If you are doing OK and did a long ride recently, it does not seem like something like anemia. Probably re-testing should be done to make sure that is the case. Hopefully, it’s just a mistake and...

If you feel like you’re not getting answers, keep pushing. The right diagnosis can make all the difference in finding something that actually works for the pain. I’ve tried a ton of meds, and nothing did much until I gave medical cannabis a try. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much, but it really...

It's usually best to take your insulin before breakfast so it can start working by the time you eat. But it's a good idea to check with your doctor or diabetes educator to make sure that's right for your specific situation.

It’s tough to balance dosing for meals like this, especially with the timing and how unpredictable things can be. Maybe next time, you could try splitting your dessert dose into two part of it with the main meal and part right before you eat the dessert? Some people find that helps slow the spike.

Yes ma’am it seems that way, but you are already doing well just by monitoring your glucose and eating balanced meals. For gaining weight with RH, it can be tricky, especially with the dietary restrictions you’ve got, but here are a few tips that might help: Calorie-dense but slow-digesting...

I first read about this years ago, I will be interested to watch this. My neuropathy became worse recently (after a bout of not eating well) and I also read that people that have been on metformin for a long time can develop bitamin b deficiency. Got back onto a stricter diet and am taking...

that sounds delicious.

Hi newby, I agree on getting a meter and testing to see what affects you. The main advice I have is to learn to love vegetables, and cook for yourself - at least you know what is in your meals. you can take a whole bunch of cut up vegetables and spread them out on two trays, drizzle with a...

If I were you I would have my calcium and magnesium levels checked. Neuropathy is in the extremes - starts in your toes and fingers, but most often toes, and has to do with your nerves, so tingling and numbness is what I feel in my feet. As it progresses I have found I also get sharp shooting...
