Thanks @Dan161282

@Dan161282 I would be interested to hear how you get on with the Libre 3. Abbott informed me it is now available in Canada.

When I was getting repeated low blood sugar episodes I needed 4 dextrose tablets to bring my blood sugars back up. I could gag thinking about the taste of them.

I use those features you mention @Coffeemonster . I have an iPhone 16 pro . I'm on v. 18.6.2 . I have an 9th generation iPad, and the Apple tags . I 'hot spot' my iPhone to my iPad as my iPad, like yours, doesn't have its own wifi connect. I find the Abbott App works perfectly well on my iPhone...

Hi and welcome to the forum @AlexGR . There are lots of interesting sub forums and discussion groups here with friendly members who are happy to try and answer any questions you may have.

Hi @Phuppetty22 . Diet is not my strength, but in general you can manage LADA a while with diet, but you would eventually need insulin. One thing that does jump out for me. With your blood sugars being that high, one would expect your C-Peptides to be low. Unless you mean borderline LADA <250...

It may or may not be down to diet, although as @grantg states blood sugars may have an impact. Might I suggest your daughter ask her Dr to test her lipoproteins . Lipoprotein (a) - Lp(a) , and Lipoprotein (b) ApoB . They are a far more accurate measure of risk and its contributions to...

Not that the province where I live in Canada's Covid vaccination policy has any relevance to UK members, as far as I can see if you ask for a Covid shot here they will give you one for free. I will keep up with my Covid vaccines, only because I got so ill with Sepsis Pneumonia a few years ago...

I agree @OrsonKartt it shouldn't have to be a battle. It's stressful enough dealing with diabetes. My fingers are crossed for you. :)

Hopefully @OrsonKartt you will be able get hold of those antibody results. Two or more types of antibodies is a confirmation of LADA. They cannot argue with that.

@Rachox I'd never heard of this Lipoprotein (a) test, yes I'd heard of the ApoB levels test but not the Lpa test . I think it's well worth asking your Dr to get tested and it's recommended that everyone should get tested fir Lpa at least once .

@Rachox I have just posted something about my high Lipoprotein (a) results . There are a number of issues high Lp(a) levels cause, amongst them it can also cause reduced lower body circulation which may cause peripheral neuropathy. You may find it interesting...

I have just received my blood results back. Apart from being borderline anaemic, no surprise there, my Lipoprotein (a) is high - 192 nmol/Ls lab range <100 . That's very high in my view. The Dr wants to see me. I also had an Apolipoproteins B-100 ( ApoB ) test, those are well within range...

I must say @Cecs I've not heard " you shouldn't eat carbs with protein" before.

I'm on statins too @Tom 27. My overall Cholesterol improved greatly. I would say to anyone weighing up whether to take them or not, look at the medical research. This class of drug has saved countless lives.

Those figures are pretty good @Lainie71 :)

I'm not sure what a Bloodvitals monitors is @Pambo123 . By blood vitals monitors do you mean heart rate/blood pressure monitor or oxygen finger monitor? Those are the only ones I know of. In case you are thinking that there is a device that measures blood sugar that's non intrusive , ie doesn't...

Thanks for informing us @davyb1936 . We have let admin know the 365 recipe cookbook's link is not working.

That's great news @Sammydoos . No wonder you are pleased. I have that same view, why don't they routinely test your C-Peptides ? C- Peptides are usually tested, rather than insulin, as insulin is very unstable and deteriorates quickly outside the body and C-Peptides are produced along side...

@LG82 Is your under active thyroid autoimmune - Hashimoto's ?
