I’ve been a bit quiet on here trying to get my head around the fact my diabetes is out of control and I need insulin now. My endo is very confused by me but has no answers. Anyway, I’ve been doing a lot of reading and parasites keeps cropping up as a possible cause of unexplained diabetes...

Trying to find out more about Mody but it’s laborious trawling through threads via a search. Please may we have a separate section. I’m being tested but would love to find out more about this rare form of diabetes. [emoji120] thanks [emoji120]

So after a long time trying to sort my high BG despite eating practically no carbs, it looks like sadly I’m starting on a tiny dose of insulin next week. Are there any recommended books that are worth reading please. Thanks.

I need a test but I haven’t been given any instructions. Anything I should or shouldn’t eat? Or should it be fasted? Anything to make it accurate! Thanks.

I was told last week that someone can be T2 and have a lack of insulin lowering over time or be insulin resistant. I thought a lowering of insulin supply over time was the honeymoon period for LADA. I’m so confused.

Having still not seen or heard from anyone two months after being in hospital, I’ve decided to pay to go privately. However where do I find an expert; a true expert endo that actually specialises in diabetes, is forward thinking, up to date, interested and will not just spout the same old...

Having been a bit unimpressed with various things in medical care recently and not being able to see anyone, in hospital and still no answers, and having the feeling no one understood DM, I have wondered if it’s worth seeing someone privately and sod the cost. I have an appointment with my...

Saw my doctor last week and felt I’d been told off for following a low carb diet. She told me my body needs carbs and how important they were and I wasn’t helping myself by following low carb WOE. It was almost as if I was confusing my results, which is probably confusing her. I asked, bearing...

Following on from my other posts - is this combination of high ketones and high BG always a problem? Can one have high BG due to an infection or bug brewing but still have ketones due to a Keto diet? Getting worried now as I assumed I was just still in ketosis. I have no classic symptoms.

Hi. My BG levels have been very high all week - 12-15. The weeks before all around 5-6. I saw my doc who ran blood tests, all of which have come back showing nothing out of the ordinary. I’m awaiting my Hba1c which was on course to be around 37 but goodness knows what it will be now as I know...

Anyone got a tried and tested amazing recipe for pork ribs to barbecue? Thanks

I had the results of my latest Hba1c last week and it’s gone up. I’ve been 36 for the last 18 months or so and it’s gone up to 41. Not a huge jump, but considering how totally strict I am, its a blow. I don’t understand. Nothing has changed. I am 20g or lower but over the last 6 months my...

I have developed a horrible habit of eating butter! I find myself cutting a piece from the butter dish on a regular basis, a bit like some people might nibble on chocolate. Is this really really really bad for me or will it work with Keto? It’s a bit weird but so yummy. [emoji4]

Apologies if this has already been posted. Thought it was fascinating, particularly when he starts talking about the diet of the ancient Egyptians.

..... is it any good?

I have a friend who is being told by his family that following a LCHF diet is dangerous because of the supposed cholesterol intake. His family have been googling [emoji849] Can anyone post informative (simple as he is new to this) videos explaining the ins and outs of cholesterol, why totals...

To any vegan bakers out there. Do you think the Diet Doctor Keto bread would work using aquafaba instead of egg whites? I’ve made meringue successfully with it but not sure about this. I hate wasting food so not inclined to experiment. Thanks. Edited to add - hadn’t even thought of the carb...

Can anyone tell me the purpose of this and whether it affects the recipe much if left out? Thanks.

Is it any good? Has anyone made this with coconut flour instead of almond flour? Coconut flour would change the texture but wondered which flour was nicer. Thanks.

I was asked to join some colleagues in avoiding alcohol for the month of October. I started a bit late due to a family party. Anyway here I am one week into my dry month and enjoying it but by blood glucose is considerably raised throughout the day since starting, despite eating the same...
