Thanks all. We went to see the Gp in order to interpret the cpeptide and insulin test results which were 69 pmol/l and 699 pmol/l But we were told that we have to see a specialist consultant as the GP is not sure what exactly these numbers mean. Will wait and post once we know more ...

hi, so we were told to go for c peptide test as that is used to differentiate between Type 1 and Type 2. Our readings are Insulin - 69 pmol/L C Peptide - 699 pmol/L We have no idea what the Normal readings should Ben but these are low as suggested by our nurse and she in turn checked with a...

Good advice specially about the posters being more mature than we two are now. We need to relaxxx a bit. cant stop thinking what s the worst case scenario but will try and not think too much for now. Thank you very much :)

question - is a reading of 8.2 2 hours after Dinner for a diabetic person who is on no medication ok? wife is eating low carbs and while we wait for if we are type 1 or type 2 or type 1.5 I want to know if the readings are "acceptable" . They occasionally go up to 9.2 but have been all under 10...

many thanks. We are just not sure why would c-Peptide be so inconclusive. have been reading about LADA ( Type 1.5) as well since my wife had acute pancreatitis as a child.

hi, we have had some good readings for the past few weeks ( all under 10 and mostly between 7 and 8.5) however we are very concerned based on what the nurse just told us. They are trying to identify if we are type 1 or type 2 and we just have our c-peptide test results back. The nurse says the...

She had 2 low carb burgers (4.9 gm carbs each) without bread and some chick peas salad (with dressing) . Yes we’re are still trying different foods to see what we can eat confidently without spikes.

so we are getting to understand our carbs bit better but still trying to work out meal plans. The readings yesterday and today were not bad (all under 7.4) and we visited the nurse who suggested we don’t need medication as of now as long as we continue with our diet control and exercise...

agree. planning for breakfast alternatives tomorrow.

That video is really good for us. helped me a lot. thanks for suggesting.

Ok based on advice here we had a change of plan for today. Breakfast - quakers oats Lunch - Mix Veg bowl ( peas, beans, sprouts and cheese) + 2 eggs. also few peanuts before lunch ! Before meal - 7.4 2 Hours After meal - 7.2 and she feels full! thumps up :)

Thanks for this. 5 eggs in a day are too much? I thought eggs were great as they are low in carbs but Happy to Be corrected?

Yes agree. Plan is to cut out on oats but at the moment that keeps her full and the readings after oats in the morning aren’t too bad. Though I agree we need to find alternatives.

Yes she is.

Good Morning, Plan for today: Breakfast - quakers oats Snack - almonds (handful) Lunch - 3 eggs Snack - peanuts (handful) Dinner - 2 eggs Let’s see how it goes !

:) so kind! I guess we were a bit lost as we were not expecting to be diagnosed so early in life . In all the confusion we are preparing ourselves for the worst case scenario including what if we were type 1. Her cpeptide results are awaited which will tell us about the type Untill then we are...

Many thanks. Will give this a go for tommorow’s dinner and see what it does to the readings :)

Tonight was a much better result. Before meal- 6.7 2 hours after meal - 8.4 We tried a low carb M&S salad which had only 9.7gm carbs. Although the readings have improved , my wife is a little hungry I think. Tommorow is another day and we need to find if we can keep these reading low and yet...

we are doing 2 hours after meal. she drinks only water!

yes she is. Many thanks for this. I will have a look.
