Hello @Resurgam, Ah well, the floor is just as far away, however my feet have been within reach over the past two weeks. That is somethng that was has been a problem for the past 10 years. I used to wonder how to check my feet for diabetic problems, and now it is not such a big problem to...

Hello @Resurgam Strange that you should ask, but although my weight is still approximatly the same, my waistline looks as if it has changed. I will look into this liver and glucose thing a little closer. Thank you. Royjk

Hello @Marikev Thanks for your suggestions. I live on the edge of the city, so there are 5 supermarkets within easy shopping distance, all of them have low carb offers, but I don't really fancy most of them. So buying the right fresh food is not difficult here. I often shop in the morning as...

Hello @MG426 Yes, I would love to go for a walk after eating, however that is just a bit difficault at the moment. Royjk

So, after 5 weeks of intensive interest in type 2 diabetes, I have read lots and have been doing my medications. I started a low carb diet, cutting out all of the food that I enjoy, and I started taking a SGLT2 inhibitor, two things that reduce sugar in my blood. Also I started basal and bosul...

Hello @Crocodile, I started Jardiance four weeks ago along with insulin, due to high blood test readings and a high HBA1c 103. So I only have limited experience. Tablet had no noticable effect, did not see any change in water flow rates, or bad feelings. I have eGFR 0.41and according to the...

Hello @DJA-440 Funny thing but 4 weeks ago I got told by my doctor that A1c was over 100 and got given pens to do insulin 4 times a day. Don't know about the ketones and missed out on the hospital bit, but I was 29 on the finger blood test. I came to this site then and they suggested it was...

Hello @lovinglife So my nefrologist did not recommend a level, but he did give me some special food/tablets to ensure I got the essential amino acids while I am on the low diet and eating veg. Internet says I should do 0.55g per KG of body weight, but I have just this minute read that for...

Hello @Melgar I tried some special tablets for this allergy when I was in my early 30's, but the allergy continued, and I eat very carefully. Royjk

Hello @MrsA2 I have never eaten cheese, yoghurt or ice cream in living memory, I always did lollies or sorbet, and never found a need for any milk products, so I think that I would be unlikely to lose a lifetime allergy just like that. Although I do take medicene with a lactose warning. So I...

Hello @lovinglife Yes it is true that I can start to consume some of these oils, which I do not at the moment. But my problem is the very low protein diet which I have broken in order to reduce carbs in my diet. Royjk

Hello @Antje77 Well a bit is a way of describing something serious. I have found that I go into shock when my stomach receives the butter, and the smell is absolutly revolting. Usually a couple of shots of strong spirit or hot black coffee with a few hours sleep take away the effects, if I...

Hello @Antje77, Since getting diabetes 4 years ago I have also picked up 3rd stage CKD, and that needs very low protein to extend the time until serious treatment. So I have been doing lots of veg, and little protein. Also I have been a bit lactose intolerent all my life, so lots of fatty...

Just before Christmas I started on the next part of my advetures with type 2 diabetes. So, I have just spent the past four weeks getting my mind around a low carb diet, to help lower my HBA1c and it has shifted from 103 down to 76 mmol/l which I am quite pleased with. I have good morning finger...

Hello @KennyA I thought about the bread, but if those very nice white bread rolls are gone from my diet there is no real need to introduce another bread to replace them. I am set on no bread, sugar, potatoes, or sweet drinks including beer. I have found replacements for these and with any luck...

Hello @Outlier, You are correct marmite does make a good drink, and I suddenly remembered that oxo cubes were also good. As for the cider vinegar, I never really liked that on my chips, but I saw a internet article that said 'drink a couple of spoons of cidre vinegar before your meal', and it...

Hello @Scubastu, Thanks for your info, So, I am now 3 weeks in and the main carbs have gone, and I have dialed up the insulin to 40 units a day, and do the empagliflozin. I have no idea what is a litttle or a lot in insulin dosing. My finger blood tests start at 7 - 8 in the morning and move to...

Hello @Liam8668 I am not sure that insulin is the answer to all diabetes problems, perhaps there is some good reasons a low carb diet and tablets might be also good. My doctor started me on insulin 3 weeks ago, and since then I have been watching every meal, and snack, and altered all my...

Hello @Peborgh, your lucky with the thymus, I still remember my doctor saying you must have that mass removed very quickly. I am pleased you have remisson, the twitches and cramps are sometimes caused by the Pyridostigmine. As you are doing a steroid, blood sugar resistance may be an issue, and...
