Yes. I thought to myself that nurse will not go on indefinitely with high sugars, if over 20 she insists is her choclate eating - the diabetes is probably causing craving and even if she stopped that alone would not take her to normal levels. I told her to take my advice and look into. I saw the...

I didn't check bg as monitor downstairs and could not energy to get up for it. Felt so rough. My daughter suggested could be infection. Should I nibble something like cheese before bed I wonder?

I can't seem to find appropriate topic sorry if wrong post. Ive just spent a week in hospital with high blood sugars, kidney infection apparently one step from sepsis. Hospital treatment faultless, but NHS training in diabetes and diet is abysmal and just short of dangerous This is incredible...

I'm new to insulin and keep coming across the term insulin resistant, how does one know if they are insulin resistant?

I've just come out of hospital, where I spent a week with high BS and a particularly nasty kidney infection. At point if entry my BS was at 20 and I'd been experiencing difficulty in getting my figures below 12-14 for some time and my kidneys are slightly damaged as a result. Upshot being...

Well got a result for sure now. My sugars been 14 - 16 consistently..nothing I did would bring them down. Had really bad kidney infection unbearable pain in my side- started vomiting and uncontrollable shaking so I called 111. Paramedics came and called an ambulance. That was Monday I am now on...

I cannot seem to find it

Can't find out how to amend my post!

Many of you will recognise my rent posts in my bid to lower blood my blood sugars. Tried 16:8 diet - made no difference. As good as carb free - makes no difference. Last ditch attempt - looking at upping gliclozide - currently on 1 in morning and 1 in evening before food. DBN wants me to...

Btw as a retired lecturer I am familiar with mind maps, though not not db related.

Yes. Guess I have. Sadly there is no reliable GP at our surgery- appointments always with locum. The one resident GP and diabetic specialist does not take appointments as she is admin only - diabetic nurse has no bedside manner very hard to relate to. Thinking of changing surgeries but could be...

Thanks for share but with protein in kidneys Keto is not recommended for me. [emoji53]

Kidney, UTI infections definitely shot BS up. Now currently fighting worse cold ever and I'm slightly anaemic.

Sound advice. I hear you re insulin.

Wow - quite blown away with advice on remission- I must dig deeper and I will ask to see endocrinologist again - he has a clinic aside of the hospital- worth a try - I will try to report on my 'progress'. Thanks good people.

I meant reversal not 'remission'. My error.

Meant to ask does anyone have experience of Dr Fung? My son who lives in Canada keeps insisting I take a look at his website, but since he claims that DB can be reversed I am very sceptical.

I have been diagnosed T2 since 2007. Couple of years ago I was put on 2 x glicazide with 1 x metformin. However, this year I have been unwell with kidney infections and, now, the most horrific cold that I can't shake. In the meantime my BS shot into double figures and DBN seems insistent I go...

Probably me last night - chocolic fell off the wagon- now that's stupid!

Well I've suffered some back-to-back kidney infections over the summer which cause many a fragmented night and with the infections I can see why my fasting sugars went haywire although DBN doesn't seem to take this onboard. I've been working hard on low carbs but had melt down yesterday and ate...
