When you start looking / searching the web there are loads more diseases that can be linked with highish blood sugars..... Cancer, heart attacks etc. When you look at jenny Ruhl's 'normal' blood sugar levels chart it shows a peak of 6.8 around 1 to 2 hrs after a meal, then down to 4.4 within...

Hi Lucy The article / trial on T1s continuing to produce insulin is very interesting. Even more reason for us to keep BG levels low, so we can preserve for longer.

Runner, Dr Bernstein States that 'beta cells can recover if they are given a rest with the help of injected insulin'.... and BG levels are normalised. Dr Bernstein also states that he has seen patients 'honeymoon' period go on for ever...... With normalised BG levels. You have 'normalised'...

I was diagnosed a year ago, 9months ago my specialist nurse did some tests and found I had lost any feeling in my right big toe. I was also getting cold feet very often, which I had never had before. Since I have managed to get my BG levels under control, I think my feeling in my toe has...

That's good. In the mean time, in my opinion, you need to prepare yourself so you can justify to them why YOU want to go on insulin. For example:- * You want to lower your BG levels to minimise long term diabetic related complications * you want to have another baby, so need lower BG levels to...

My experience with low carb is that calories control my weight. I am T1.5 / LADA not on meds or insulin... I can still, just, produce sufficient insulin to support myself and I eat to my meter. I have been low carbing for a year now, starting 150g now down to 30g per day. 6 months ago my...

My understanding is ketones are dangerous with high BG levels (above 10), but good when low carbing with low BG levels. When your BG levels are above 10 you need to frequently check for ketones.

My experience with the NHS is that the dr's and dsn's will only give advise that complies with NHS policy. They will not and (understandably) can not give advice against NHS policy..... However, tell them what you want to do, and justify the reasons why (eg low carb, small dose insulin to get...

Just read diet 101 book.... Interesting, but found it mainly applicable to T2's wanting to loose weight.... As a T1 /LADA not wanting to loose weight, I found Dr Bernstein's much more relevant..... But both heavily agree on 'normal' blood sugars being very important, normal being much lower than...

After a phone conversation with my GP, he has agreed to keep the test strips on prescription.... I explained to him that without the test strips I would be on insulin and need far more test strips than 3 per day (testing before / during driving etc.!!!!!... And therefore I was saving the NHS...

There is indeed some evidence that beta cells can regenerate.... But all the evidence I have seen points to low blood sugar levels being required. I can completely empathise with not wishing to take insulin..... But insulin is not a medication... We LADA / T1s can not make sufficient...

Hi Elaine, Good to see you back on the forum. In my opinion, you need to start taking insulin, and the sooner the better...... To be honest I think you must start taking it, there is so much evidence that high BG levels kill off beta cells (and you have high BG levels) and currently you are...

And how they come out of the oven

Nothing like a bacon sandwich. And bacon in 1g carb oopsie bread makes a lovely bacon sandwich.

Oopsie bread (6 slices). 3 eggs 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of cream /soft cheese a pinch of salt ½ teaspoon baking powder Separate the eggs, into two different bowls Whip the egg whites together with the salt until very stiff.... Very stiff.... This is the only difficult bit. In the other bowl Mix...

Oopsie bread (6 slices) 3 eggs 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of cream / soft cheese (Philadelphia etc) a good pinch of salt ½ teaspoon baking powder Separate the eggs, with the egg whites and yolks in separate bowls. Whip the egg whites together with the salt until very stiff. You need a good...

Try baking some Scandinavian Oopsie bread. Makes a lovely bacon sandwich or burger bun. Much easier and quicker to bake than normal bread. Less than 1g carb per slice. Made from eggs and soft cheese. 10min to mix ingredients 25 min in oven. Delicious.

Hi irish maeve Cutting out all potatoes/bread/pasta etc is very good. To put on weight simply eat more fat and protein. Meat, fish, butter, double cream, full fat milk, hard cheese, mayonnaise. Aubergines If you have always been slim I wonder if you might be LADA (Early T1). The only way to...

My 1st bacon sandwich for over 6 months. Scandinavian Oopsie bread. Just eggs and cream cheese (plus a little salt and backing powder). Delicious. Less than 1g carb per slice. If you haven't tried it, I recommend you do.
