I can’t eat anything naughty without A large spike these days. Everyone is different. Not sure when you were diagnosed, but what was your Hba1c or current Hba1c? Sometimes just a little of what we fancy is bad for us. Try swapping to almonds instead of crisps, or even getter crispy bacon or...

It is. I feel so much better and happier with my current WOE.

Only anecdotal but I became diabetic when following a vegetarian/almost vegan diet. I know from old blood tests that were recently discovered, I had an ok Hba1c three years before diagnosis. With hindsight my diet was very high carb due to the grains, pulses and fruit I was eating. I didn’t eat...

Excellent video. Thanks for posting.

I use the On Call one. I find it excellent and does everything I want it to.

@brightonboyjan23 Out of interest, why do you drink milk?

Many people don’t like them because they aren’t generally natural. Some newer ones are marketed as natural. There is thought that although not affecting blood glucose, they to cause an insulin response thereby maintaining high insulin levels, presumably contributing to insulin resistance...

Fantastic! Well done.

That is really good to hear. I’m home now and i have been given Metformin and although I was told it would take a week or so to have any effect, my numbers are back in normal range this evening. They are still convinced I’m lada but will refer me to my endo again next week. Good luck

Out of interest Gav were you following a low carb diet? I have just spoken to a doc who now thinks two things are going on with me. Ketones due to LC and high BG due to something else ie, diabetes progressing.

I am so pleased to hear that you are getting medical attention. Hope you get everything sorted soon.

Hi. I’m still I hospital. All very slow but caring and thorough. Waiting to see the diabetic team. All bloods again this morning are fine. (Except BG and ketones) Ketones high as is BG but I haven’t eaten as all I’ve been offered is toast, biscuits or Cereal. [emoji849]. I’ll hold out for lunch...

Sorry forgot to answer this bit. I called 111, had a call from a doc and was sent to hospital. Your case is almost identical. Might be worth trying again and as I said, quote the nhs guidelines to them. I have been asked several times why I was worried and said about their guidelines and...

I’ve been thinking of you and your situation. Gav it would be best to push to get it checked. Quote the NHS guidelines to them. I think they are in one of my posts highlighted. I’m surprised at the number of tests I’m having. They totally understand DKA and my blood gases seem to confirm there...

Thank you. They aren’t testing BG again so it won’t make any difference. Had a full MOT and so far so good!

Thanks. Fortunately later they were offering sandwiches to everyone waiting so I scooped the contents out and ate that.

Gav you sound like you are in a similar position as me. I went to the out of hours doc and I am now in hospital having lots of tests. BG of 17.8 and ketones were 2 but now 4! I’m scared but pleased I was urged to check it out. I hope it amounts to nothing but do be careful.

Update- I’m at hospital for lots of checks. I left home early this morning so not eaten. They want me to eat biscuits!!! I’m not hungry and having not touched anything like that for years. The nurse said of course I have ketones as I haven’t eaten. My blood glucose will go through the roof if I...

Thanks everyone. Off to call 111.

Thanks for your reply. No meds at all. BG 17 this morning and ketones 1.5. Still no symptoms but off to call 111. Thanks
