I do fast walking, I was a competitive long distance runner, but now suffer with bad knees. So although I don’t run anymore I do fast walking. I do between 25,000 to 30,000 steps a day. It is the only thing keeping my blood sugars in check. Splitting the type of exercise I do into three groups...

Welcome to the forum @ausGeoff . That’s great news, reducing your blood sugars from the 30’s to the 10’s. Feel free to check out all the forums and please don’t hesitate to ask questions.

@Antje77 I believe his liver stats were raised when they did a panel. As for your question about insulin resistance and fatty liver disease in T1’s it’s easier if I quote directly from the research paper. Here is the abstract: “Autoimmune destruction of pancreatic β-cells results in the...

I accidentally put my links in your reply to me, so I deleted them and put them in my post as they are source of my information about liver resistance.

Sorry @Antje77 I placed the links in your reply to me, instead of in my reply to you.

@Antje77 I’ll try. An insulin resistant liver means the cells in the liver (hepatocytes) do not effectively respond to insulin. What does that mean? In short insulin signaling is disrupted. In a healthy liver insulin usually regulates blood sugar levels by suppressing glucose production...

Hi there @venkatesht . Well that is good news. When we are diabetic or prediabetic it is always a concern when we get circulation problems / pins and needles . So That is good news. Thanks for the update as others may find your post of interest.

@Nicola M , my brother, who is T1 takes Metformin 500mg slow release, but he should be on 1000 mg. He says he can only tolerate 500 mg else he suffers digestive issues. He takes it before food. So his way of dealing with it is not to take the full dose, which is obviously his decision. He has an...

I take Dexlansoprazole 60mg. A PPI with a slower release. I’m on the PPI’s as I have a history of peptic ulcer disease. The Dr prescribed them as a precaution due to ongoing digestion issues. PPI’s inhibit the stomach’s proton pump which secretes the digestive gastric acids needed to break down...

Reading that first article @KennyA provided, for me the main take away from that first article is this - it suggests that the type of food containing saturated fats are important so dairy, unprocessed meats, and for some reason they mention dark chocolate, as containing saturated fatty acids...

I suffer with sciatica, not all the time, but if I over do it it returns. Mine is from bulging discs in my lumber region of my spine. It’s from pressure on my lumber nerve roots. It is a very particular pain, excruciating at times. The pain runs down from my lower back through my buttock down...

@LakeWoman if you eat a healthy diet and do plenty of exercise, then that is what they claim lowers your LDLs. It didn’t for me. I believe my cholesterol issues are genetic. My mom had high cholesterol and high blood pressure in her 20’s. She was, at that time, rake thin. As long as I can...

Hi there @Sarah69 I am not going to be much use to you I’m afraid as I chose to go on a very small dose of Statins, which nudged my total cholesterol into range. My Triglycerides have been consistently low, 0.5 - 0.6 ish. My HDL was and still is good , but my LDL figures were out of range...

I live in Canada and I am having the same issue. My provider is Bell so I don’t think it has anything to do with BT.

Hi and welcome to the forum @Shellrich . I’m sorry to hear that your husband is going through all this. As you probably know C-Peptides are produced by the pancreas and are a by product of insulin production. C-Peptides are proportional to insulin. They are measured in preference to insulin...

Hi there @SJS5 I take statins, albeit a low dose. In the past I have been leery of going onto statins, mainly based on Malcolm McKendrick’s thesis on LDLs not being the culprits for CVD. I have read his books and articles articulating his argument against statin use. The main issue people have...

@SJS5 I have low triglycerides, reasonable HDL but my LDL’s were high raising my total cholesterol. I tried to get them at least in range, but I was not successful. I’m post menopausal. I am eating very little fat right now as I have some issue. I’m waiting for an appointment to see my...

Well the hypothalamus controls your core body temperature in what is called Thermoregulation. It is extremely important in preventing thermal stress. Your circadian rhythm system (master body clock) regulates many things, and has an important role to play in thermoregulation. Your body usually...

@PeeBee12 I have an iPhone 11 iOS 18.1.1 and yes it seems to lose connection very frequently. I wondered whether it is to do with having an older phone.

There is an allowable error of 15% -/+ for all blood sugar measuring devices set again a lab calibrated meter. Given that measure of error, results can vary as both types of meter carry a degree of error. I should also mention that the Libre sensor carries a reading lag due to it measuring...
