Thanks Lamont... I do understand the craving sensation.. your post was really interesting... Do you remember never feeling full at all though - and I mean never.... For example, I have just had, for dinner, a large piece of baked fish, broccoli, green beans, followed by mixed nuts and a...

Thanks again all. I am at the point now where I will try anything. I tried to go carb free yesterday.... I physically couldn't do it, so strong are the hunger / need to eat feelings. It's like as soon as the tiniest morsel of food is eaten something is triggered in me and I literally cannot...

Thanks again everyone - this is a really friendly and helpful place to be. I am trying to cut the carbs - this is not easy. On the thyroid levels I had blood test. GP said all OK. I got the numbers. TSH 0.4 (this is low). T4 18.8 (this is normal - high).... so there is something there but...

Thanks for all the info so far. In the best scenario the carbs issue would be the thing... I am craving carbs but would happily ditch them for the rest of my life if it sorted this out. It is the sheer gnawing hunger that doesn't add up. To be able to wolf down an enormous pasta dish and...

Thanks Rokaab.

I posted here some time ago as I was worried about diabetes due to some symptoms but with BG levels in range. Since then I have had another Test (the 3 month range one) and it is fine - no diabetes or pre-diabetes. When I do a finger prick test, same again - all is within range. e.g. 6.8...

LittleGreyCat: Thanks for the reply. I can see how it looks and I do take that on board. I truly understand that it is all too easy to become fixated on something like this - I am working my way through other things, too, with my GP, and I guess I just needed to seek some further information as...

Thanks Mrs HJG. Really interesting to read. I keep reading about massively high BG levels when Type 1s are finally diagnosed... which gives me some hope that I am not there.... but it is hard when your body is telling you so many mixed messages.

Just out of interest too... In an untreated Type 1 experiencing symptoms such as hunger, what happens to blood sugar levels. Do they just rise and rise? For example, given a typical day of carb laden breakfast, lunch and dinner and snacks, would you expect the BG levels to just go out of...

Thanks for the replies. Yes, I have done that - ruling out a few other things so far. It's all such a nightmare when you feel really ill but can't get an answer. The Type 1 seemed to fit with much of what I am feeling (inc weight loss but good appetite)- that plus the occasional high finger...

Hi all - new here - forgive my ramblings. Was worried about diabetes in the new year (peeing at night, some ankle tingling) - had an AC1 and Random test - 5.2% 33mmol/l for the AC1 and 4.8mmol/l for the random. All good. Symptoms remaining - worsening, repeated the random a month later at the...
