Hey Paul - all really useful info - thank you! :) My blood sugars have stabilised a bit more again now - so I'm hoping to put this all off a little longer - but it's really good to get an idea of what to expect so it's not all massively overwhelming at the time (though I still know I will be...

Hi Acedemicdiabetic; I am currently following a raw vegan diet, following watching the raw for thirty documentary and buying Gabriel Cousens "There is a Cure for Diabetes" book... honestly, it's early days and I can see both sides of the argument (i.e. for and against - particularly the raw...

Hi Elaine77 - that's really interesting to know, thank you! I'm sooo confused - I kinda think I may be a blend of t1 & t2... I'm not overweight with a bmi of 22 but I do suspect I may have insulin resistance. When my blood sugars go above around the 7 / 8 mark for more than a couple of days, I...

This is so helpful and helps ease my concerns of, if I start some insulin my blood sugars dropping at home alone at night, thank you Kelsie! :)

Thanks both. Daibell I think the endocrinologist I saw was a bit 'old school' - he was really quite adamant about there not being a 1.5/LADA as I really resisted his t1 diagnosis.... He just kept saying there is either autoimmune antibodies present which created diabetes, or there aren't - t1's...

Hi Phoenix & Noblehead - thanks so much both for you replies; I'm going to read through the links now. My consultant said it was up to me if I wanted to start the background insulin now or not - but as I was pretty upset at the time, I didn't ask him much more about what this meant as I said I...

Hey... mine were also around that level - I didn't quite take it all in as was pretty upset at the time - but I remember he said that normal level was below 5, and mine were "extremely elevated" - when I asked him what that was in numbers, he nervously replied "over 1,500". I was already crying...

Hi Paul, thank you - yes, I am currently diet-only - but hope that doesn't send the message that I believe it will stay this way as that wasn't the message I was trying to convey - apologies if it came across that way - it just asked the question of what meds I was taking when I registered and...

Thanks Phoenix, I agree I do need to learn and wasn't trying to hi-jack the thread for that, I have posted here: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=49643 - but no replies as yet. I definitely could do with some advice though as I am very much struggling and feeling pretty uncertain about things right now...

Bret, thank you for this; I am a newly diagnosed type1/1.5 and currently eating very low carb and almost beside myself that my blood sugars are rising daily. Feel like I'm doing something wrong; feel awful in fact.

Hi there, I'm new to the forum and would really appreciate some advice/insights. I have been diagnosed t1 (I think what's known as t1.5 on this forum - though my consultant tells me this doesn't exist) and in the honeymoon phase. So far I've not needed any medications, but recently my fasting...

Hi there, new to the forum and just reading through some 1.5 info as the dr's think this is what I am... I am intrigued though as Smidge, you say it's typical to have good fasting but poor post meal readings? Mine are the other way around; my fasting is terrible (currently 9's) but after meals...
