    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    8.8 this morning [emoji58] started fasting at 1630 yesterday and remain low carb and cals so yeah my pancreas is just being a &£”£(;:** I guess.

    Type 1 diabetic

    I am so sorry you’re not getting the support you deserve. I’m under a Cmht too and struggle to ask for or get help (despite working in mental health myself, ironically) and my gp has been nothing but disinterested and judgmental. Recently got a referral to diabetes specialist team and they seem...

I had few symptoms for coeliac other than a weird little blistery rash on my fingertips, and occasional periods of fluctuating between Constipation and diarrhoea. A lot of people have few to no symptoms. I’ve spoken to other coeliacs...

    Advice for a newbie at gluten free

    Hi I’m coeliac and also diabetic. I don’t know if this helps but I was scared stiff about the endoscopy and they sedated me (my words to them were ‘pump me full of the highest dose you can please!’) and I didn’t remember a thing about it, came to afterwards feeling fine. Endoscopy is really the...

    Gluten rash?!

    Just a thought, have you been avoiding gluten prior to your test? As this will bring a false negative. If not, an endoscopy rather than colonoscopy is what is done to confirm coeliac - I had mine done under sedation and didn’t remember a thing. The DH rash tends to be tiny blisters in a small...

    LADA test yesterday

    Hope you get the results soon, but sounds as if insulin is keeping you on more of an even keel. I’m still waiting but it’s only been two weeks. Have first appointment with endo consultant on 26th may and pretty confident I’ll need to start on insulin as well, whatever the outcome. My blood sugar...

    How do I remember to take my metformin?

    I know you’ve already had many replies to this but I think you mentioned you had cats and I started giving my greediest boy a cat treat at the same time my meds are due and now like clockwork every day at that time he pesters me for the treat, which reminds me to take my meds [emoji23]
