A combination of having positive antibodies and a high hba1c is usually diagnostic for T1/LADA.

Are you having regular vomiting episodes? If so, have you had any investigations to the cause?

I don't have neuropathy thankfully but this sounds very frustrating if you love skiing. I couldn't say if your thoughts are correct (forum rules on diagnosing to start with, and I'm not a neurologist, let alone one with access to your file), but it sounds very plausible to me. I have some...

Are you adjusting your insulin doses based on the amount of carbs you eat and the blood glucose you see? Or are you on fixed doses which clearly don't work at this point? No matter what type of diabetes you have, if you're on insulin your doses should be adjusted depending on your BG and food...

You basal won't do anything about that anyway. Have you gotten any guidance on how to use your bolus insulin to correct high blood glucose?

Are you on fixed doses of fast acting insulin per meal? Most of us adjust our doses depending on the amount of carbs we eat, so I can have a no or low carb meal today and need only very little or no insulin for that meal, and I can have a high carb meal tomorrow which needs a high dose of...

The date is fun so don't worry @Zhnyaka ! More tomorrow. :joyful:

Hi @benbirchall35 , welcome to the forum. You've posted this in the 'children, teens, young adult/parents' section of the forum. May I ask, are you the diabetic or are you a parent of a diabetic child? What kind of help are you looking for? What insulins are you on, and how confident are you...

I'll definitely give an update, both on flavour and effect on BG, who knows, someone may do a search on millet 10 years from now or so. :hilarious: Not worried about gut effects, I've never met a food yet that messed with my innards (except for metformin on an empty stomach) and millet sounds...

Thanks for the tag @Rachox . Hi @woody3090 , welcome to posting on the forum. Like Rachox said, there is no such thing as 'progressing' from T2 to T1, they are two different conditions with completely different action mechanisms. What they have in common is high blood glucose but for different...

I can't promise to check in tomorrow evening, if it turns out there isn't any killing to be done we may be too busy doing more enjoyable things than social media. Like trying to correct the effect of a millet soufflé and a mis-guessed insulin dose on my BG. :angelic: If we still like...

I'd never even heard of millet until yesterday, but I have a date tomorrow and he plans to cook us a millet soufflé. :) I love trying new foods (especially cooked by a new date), so I told him so, provided he won't complain of repeated bg alarms for hours because of dosing for an unknown and...

Does anyone have experience with millet and BG? Date Dirk is planning to make a millet soufflé for dinner tomorrow. I love trying new foods and I don't think I've ever had millet in any form, and definitely not in a soufflé. So I told him I'll be happy to eat his soufflé if he promises to not...

Enough precipitation will definitely (dis)solve (the issue with) glucotabs. But too little will only make the problem harder.

So? Privacy laws prevent them to ask for proof as far as I know, and prediabetes has diabetes in the name too.

Yes you can. They don't ask for paperwork to prove you have diabetes.

Hi @Penroy , There are some videos but they are over 10 years old and rather outdated since the forum underwent a major overhaul a couple of years ago. Still, a lot on how the forum works is more or less the same so the videos may still be helpful, als long as you remember those videos are very...

All your crossed fingers must have worked, the job interview went very well! I'm likely to hear back from them at the end of the week, and I have a feeling I have a very good chance of being hired. If I am, they'll want me to work on the Vrouwenpoortsbrug in Leeuwarden. This is one of the more...

I've just let him know he has until thursday to hide the body or Russia will come after him! :hilarious: Ouch, yes, the world is a scary place to live in, and it makes us do things we wish we didn't feel were needed. But I really don't think there's anything to worry about with this particular...
