I'm not doing insulin from 3 days, as accorded with my doctor. Today I felt like I was going to collapse. Ultra tired. I don't know if this is diabetes related, but my BS was normal, 117mg/dl. I feel very unwell now. Did anyone have similar experiences?

Final diagnosis: I am LADA! My doctor said I can avoid insulin for now. My BS have become normal with my low carb diet and I don't need to inject for the moment. Sometimes I can even eat carbs, my body can handle everything but it's a bit slower in lowering BS compared to non diabetics. I know...

Yesterday I avoided insulin because I was driving on a long trip. I even skipped Lantus the night before. My values were always under 150 mg/dl, and before dinner 92 mg/dl. By the way I noticed my C-Peptide was 1.03ng/ml in my last Blood Analysis from 2 weeks ago upon discovering (in Normal...

I mean living with diabetes. I went on low carb, but in this period I am very stressed at work and I don't feel like doing sports.

Since I changed my lifestyle I started gaining weight. +3kg in 2 Weeks. I'm on low carb, but eating much more as before. If I eat less I fear low blood sugar, and I am just doing small amounts of insuline. I'm always hungry by the way. What should I eat? I'm doing 2u at dinner and 6 Lantus...

I understand, but I thought insulin makes your appetite bigger and helps storing fats. So why is it so difficult for some people to gain weight?

I thought Insulin will make me become fat. Am I missing something?

And how long does this process normally take? I know that anyone reacts differently, but are we talking about months, years, decades?

Yesterday I tried pasta for lunch, 100 grams. No insuline. I was 70 before and 115 2h later. I thought to be much higher after such a meal. I'm still experimenting everything since these are my first days.

Same here, but this happened even when I wasn't affected by diabetes. I think it's just a bad habit. :)

Hi there. I'm on insuline from about 10 days after being diagnosed as type 1, but I think my Pancreas still works. I'm doing so small amounts of insuline. 6u Lantus before bedtime and 2u fast insuline before dinner and my values are pretty good (70-140mg/dl). Sometimes eating carbs too. I'm not...

You are right. I've read on the international osteoporosis community that 100ml only have 45mg in almond milk, that started my worries. But the data was wrong. Alpro milk too has 120mg pro 100ml. I guess we can close this discussion. Thanks for the answers.

No, I am eating cheese but to have the same calcium intake as for 100ml milk you have to eat 100g Emmental (or similar) and that's about 370 calories. I was searching for alternatives.

Hey good news! I don't know how much time it will last, but my doctor said that with my values I may inject only @ dinner with fast insuline and before bedtime with basal insuline, so no problems at lunch with my co-workers. I am on vacation and will start my new adventure at work next Monday...

Yes it does, it's the same I'm using, but compared to normal milk it has very much less calcium.

Are you serious? Wow!

Apple watch is represented on their website, so it's definitively Bluetooth and Apple compatible.

Hi everyone. I started drinking unsweetened Almond milk, which I like very much, and has practically the effect of water on my glucose. Now the question: where do I get big amounts of calcium? I need theoretically 1000mg per day on average to avoid future development of Osteoporosis. Any ideas?

So you had very high sugar levels? Where you constantly measuring your Glucose? Thanks for your answers. I'm actually on LC not caring about fats, but actually things I'm eating are relatively high on fats. Looking on the past day I'm around 100/120 grams carbs/day and 100/150 grams fat. I use...

Hi JJO, interesting story. Could you please explain how you induced yourself into keto? What did the meds tell you? I'm on low carb (which means I still eat some carbs). Right now I'm using 2u fast insuline before dinner and 6u Lantus before sleeping, but I'd like to try Metformin since I need...
