    HB1ac has crept up

    its on the increase type 1s getting type 2 its down to the processed food. and the claim that type 1s should eat normally. obviously your type 1 is an auto immune issue but the end result is that your bod cant deal with glucose so the more insulin you pump into yourself the more resistance. low...

    How long for Metformin to show the effects

    well cut the sugar out completely your body cant do it. artificial sweeteners are bad news try stevia instead. im very impressed you sound amazing. have you considered the low carb route its very effective at reducing bg. metformin is not going to reduce your bg by a lot. it reduces your insulin...

    it sounds like your type 3c not 2. if so its permanent insulin maybe worth asking for some extra tests to be done to see if your producing any insulin. Avoiding toxins to the body such as alcohol and smoking reduce pancreatic inflammation. Also, eating a diet rich in fiber and consuming normal...

    Pros and cons of official diagnosis?

    as others have said your diabetic. sorry. the good news is its pretty low so not likely to have done any harm. if you can maintain your diet you should remain in the none diabetic range. this does not mean your healed just well controlled. trust me the nhs is saving money testing and preventing...

    YIKES

    it could easily have been the steroids thats set it off. are you trained in insulin adjustment because there is a real risk of hypos if you dont manage your insulin very carefully whilst on the lchf diet. with a bit of luck you may be able to come off insulin. it depends on you and your body.

    Type 2: What are your most recent HBA1C results?

    remember your home testing is just a brief moment during the day. the HbA1c is the average over the 3 months. that includes the iffy numbers at the start your next test will be better well done and keep it up.

    Disagreement with doctors about testing strips

    thats pretty rubbish. almost like they want you to have bad control. your type does not matter when your insulin dependent. you easily could go from normal to hypo in a day. ask the doctor is it cheaper to deal with the complication that will arise from poor control. now if your an old hand...
