My c peptide is 533 on the lower side but still within the type 2 range the consultant told me, I had it re-done and it’s now 503. The specialist nurse was looking through some of my old blood tests and said some numbers should have been picked up on in 2018 but I can’t remember what the...

If a thread has never been made about Euglycemic DKA, maybe one should be made so people don’t tell others they are not in DKA with normal sugars. It’s a false statement and maybe it needs addressing even if it is more of a rare occurrence. It could save someone’s life.

Thank you [emoji5]

Thanks, my specialist consultant I saw last week says I was in DKA, we discussed this at length and he explained why and how it happened. I’m assuming he knows what he is talking about, so for me who only knows so much, isn’t going to go against his specialist opinion.

It’s let me do it now [emoji4]

It keeps saying oops we ran into some problems when I click save

Tried yesterday, wouldn’t let me

Thank you for the response [emoji4] I do carry lift glucose tabs in every pocket I own [emoji23] I was told I will probably have my insulin changed at some point. When I first started insulin and having hypos I was panicking and eating sweets, never again, the glucose tablets are a life saver...

My levels are controlled, but it’s definitely as though My muscles are aching in the calf’s and thighs on my legs. Driving me crazy. Definitely something I’m going to talk to the doctor about.

Hi guys, new here, (not on the forum) I was diagnosed in 2018 as type 2, bit of a shock but I was managing it pretty well, low carb and metformin. Started eating a few more carbs in my diet, and A1C started creeping up, so was put on jardiance (empaglaflozin) Like a fool I also low carbed...

Sorry for the late response guys, my heads been all over the place, and it turns out I am type 1.5 diabetic and I’m now on insulin. I was diagnosed as type 2 in 2018, but now because of the dka in august of this year and having loads of blood tests, I’m type 1.5 Bit of a shock. I’m still...

Hey guys, so I did something very stupid, I feel an idiot! My hba1c was going up so I got put on jardiance again, I also decided to low carb, what a bad bad decision that was. The tummy pain started, feeling sick, couldn’t eat, enormous headache, breathing was a struggle, I checked my ketones...

I only drink almond milk, no sugars no carbs, can’t stand the taste of full fat milk anymore

I take my metformin in a morning with breakfast early, if I’m having a drink that night, I don’t take the tea time dose. That’s me personally, it’s all down to you, and I know what you mean about the metformin letting you know, hence why I don’t take my tea time one if I’m having a drink. It’s...

I was dizzy and felt not great for around a week, after that I was fine with no problems. I’m not on it anymore but a good drug and does the job it’s supposed to do. Try and persevere see how you go

I had my very last cigarette in April, I smoked 20-30 cigarettes a day. Sometimes more if I had a drink. I do vape,( not the big excessive vape machines) you can buy now, just the stick ones, it is low nicotine, I found stopping the Nicorette lozenges harder to give up than the fags [emoji23] I...

Well done [emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]

I understand all the benefits of metformin and I would happily take it for the rest of my life, the nurse wanted me to reduce it and see how I get on, I’m all for trying. What I hate about low carb is everything, I eat all different meals so it’s not repetitive, but….i want chips made with...
