Been to see my Nurse on Tuesday, told her everything she seem quite surprised and interested, she made note of a decent weight loss now I am 85.3 Kgs, good diet, good blood sugar range, when she mentioned it to my consultant, he wanted to see me, so I will be seeing my consultant in October to...

Thank for that info Angie, I hope to find out for sure what my type definitely is so I can deal with it accordingly. I have accepted that I am diabetic one way or another, I would like to minimise the effect as much as I can by doing that I would need accurate information so I can tailor my...

I have monitored my blood sugar very closely, at least I am not complacent in that regard. the honeymoon is at the back of my mind always. One of the problem of C peptide, GAD tests as far as I am aware is that you need to be free of any injected insulin for the result to be accurate, I will...

Blood sugar is still bouncing within range, had a beer with Thai meal, 2 hours later 6.4. I will be seeing my diabetic nurse on Tuesday where I will put these facts to them and see what they say. I am going to ask for a set of blood tests to determine the state of my insulin production and GAD...

Yes it is ranging between 4 and 8 generally, even after a few beers on a meal. it occasionally spikes due to some sweet stuff such as once I had a shot of peach Snapps while in Ibiza which went to 10.1 however in an hour it went down to 6.8. It does make me wonder, like you said maybe somebody...

Hi All wonder if anybody had a similar experience. Bit of a background story. I am 45 and was overweight at 105kg and is Diabetic for 7 months. I was diagnosed on New Years Eve after being brought in with DKA and BG of 26 which happened after a bout of bad cough and cold which could be linked...

Re: I'm a new type 2 on the Wirral - anyone else in same sit Liverpool here :D Diagnosed Type 1 but think I am Type 2 really going to verify with blood tests etc.

I would avoid the cheapest cuts of meat if you can in particular "valued sausages which uses the offcuts of a pig that nobody uses, nose, trotters, lips, other unmentionables, "value" burgers is more soya than meat, chopped reformed ham is basically pig left overs that is chopped boiled and...

Love em :lol:

I am now 85.5 Kgs and reduced my injections to 3 Units in morning and nothing in the evening with typical readings of between 5 to 7 at time it does leap up to 7.8,it once went up to 10.1 due to a free shot of Peach Schnapps while on holiday in Ibiza, did drink a few beers as well on top of a...

Had my last medical a week ago and i snow waiting for the date to meet the DVLA Diabetician. Meanwhile I am still attending the Gym and working out for better sugar control, my weight is now 13st 6lbs (85.5Kgs) my injections is now 3 unit morning no evening injections and very little change in...

At 6 month it may well be too late for me however this may well in future help type 1s at any stage including stem cell research.

Found this on a sister site regarding a possible vaccine to reverse type 1 Diabetes, interesting reading. http://www.diabetesforum.com/informatio ... ition.html

Not a very good way to have a meeting, in fact its downright unprofessional having nurses and doctor disturbing you every few minutes. a meeting is a time set aside for a one to one. I would complain or better still at the time of the meeting ask if you can an uninterrupted meeting. Hope your...

Thanks for the heads up Havoc, that's something for me to look out for, best of luck with your appeal

Got letter back from DVLA to fill in forms for the doctors contact details etc and pretty much the same medical questions as in previous forms, this is the next to last stage before I go before their consultant, with a HBA1C of 40 and more than 3 months of stable readings albeit having to wear...

I suppose the Doc probably arrived at his diagnosis with the information available. The fact I am reducing my dosage until eventually I am no longer using Insulin would be the moment of truth, the interesting thing is that type one is generally 10 % of those diagnosed and they are usually...

Found this article mo1905 I see what you mean by GAD test, very interesting i didn't know you could measure insulin in the body and determine types with that, thanks for the heads up :D , to achieve that I would have to come off insulin completely to provide an accurate reading. I hope the...

Sorry I am not sure what GAD is ? Another question I have been meaning to ask you, how long was your honeymoon period before you noticed your blood sugar started to rise and did it rise dramatically or gradually ?

I suspect I was diagnosed too quickly, looking back there were signs of high sugar symptoms, which only became acute during bout of cold where I may have ODied on sugar and honey vit C culminating in DKA.
