    C-Peptide results ?

    With that result I would go for a fasting insulin test also. If that number is below range then a 1.5 (LADA) might be something for your health providers to look at. Good luck

    Low carb - where do you get your fibre from

    I eat no fibre and have no issues. I eat carnivore at this time and as long as I eat enough fat there are no pooping problems. fibre is not my friend…extreme bloating and bowel issues.

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    So…I’m fasting (I can have liquids)due to a medical procedure and was super interested to see what my blood glucose would do. So, up until 11 am my levels were totally normal for me, if not slightly higher than usual at about 6.3. I had a cup of broth and some homemade electrolyte jello around...

    Triglycerides:HDL - Insulin Resistance

    Have you ever done the HOMA-IR calculation? It’s very useful in determining insulin resistance. you need a fasting insulin test and a fasting glucose test. heres a link to the calculator….be sure to use the correct units (this link provides conversion tables) https://thebloodcode.com/calculators/

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    I’m carnivore now. It does keep me from spiking but my normal blood glucose sits at 6 and a bit higher….yup,I’m frustrated. It’s pretty easy though and grocery shopping is a breeze. Good luck!

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    6.1 this morning, Dexcom. a little snow overnight, about 2 cm. Made everything look very pretty again. Shovelled the deck, patio, and walking trail behind our house and I got very warm! It’s since risen to plus 3 degrees. think I’ll go to Costco this afternoon. Need some more meat but only...

    Triglycerides:HDL - Insulin Resistance

    This is so interesting because I thought I was the only one who couldn’t budge my numbers with diet, exercise, weight…all the things. I get so darn annoyed. I know my pancreas has damage but honestly my c peptide is middle of the road normal, my fasting insulin is low but in range, blood...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    6.0 this fine morning. It’s a wee bit winters today with flurries and wind. Don’t expect to see much snow accumulation, maybe a cm. I'm doing a food test…will report back with results but after two days I’m kind of amazed….we shall see.

    Triglycerides:HDL - Insulin Resistance

    I’d be stumped too. Have you had a c peptide test or fasting insulin? I would certainly be asking for those tests if I were you. i have almost the exact same numbers as you and do the same kind of workouts. I’m very lean and eat, at this time, a carnivore diet because I just cannot lower my...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    5.8 dexcom abs and yoga today. Still very mild. They found a wee bear cub close to here yesterday. Darn near dead with starvation and no mom to be seen. It’s now at a rescue facility…poor creature. The coyotes were very vocal last night…another deer kill. It’s soon mating season and the...

    Moving to Canada with diabetes

    I’m Canadian. will you be applying for temporary residency? are you coming for work? To study? I did a quick check and looks like you’ll need some kind of insurance unless you become a permanent resident. As a temporary resident the type one diagnosis should not be a problem….but do check...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    Both Dexcom and blood test were 6.2 today..yesterday was crazy readings….it scared me. Readings were around 7 and stayed there all day. No idea. The night before last it was 8 all night. Things have calmed down today….nothing new, so strange. The Dexcom has proven itself and is always in...
