Hello, My answer to this point would be yes and no. I found out that I have this weird autoimmune/intestinal disease that I have been trying to understand for 5 years now and it seems like I am overreacting to some specific foods (that I have become intolerant to) and that those foods, no...

Thanks for your insights. Once again, very appreciated! Regarding the wireless capsule test, it costs a lot of money (almost 1000 euros); I don't know if it would provide any extra information; what I mean is if the only information it provides is wether there is a delayed transit time or not...

Thanks a lot guys for your time, support dedication. It is really, really appreciated. To make a follow up regarding your hypotheses: - The more fiber I eat the worse the situation. Same for gluten so I have a low (but not absent) gluten diet. - I can't rely on laxatives every day on my life...

Hello to all, This post is a little complicated and complex but I am really struggling with a particular problem that is destroying my life through my type 1 diabetes. I feel really, really desperate and I thought maybe this situation happened to someone and that someone found a solution. So...

Hi there, There is nothing much to do, fatty meals kind of block the effectiveness of insulin from 3 to 12 hours after the fatty meal... That is not a question of stress, virus or any other crazy explanation, this happens to me also and you can find more and more studies assessing this "fat"...

Any news? How long did it last??

Hi, I would do 2 things: 1) ask your doctor to check your albumin level next time you do a blood test 2) try to have a food diary that includes the exact quantity (grams) and timing of any lipid source I might be able to help you with that, cheers,

Thanks a lot for your concern rmz80, very much appreciated. Indeed the problem is solved, and it is so astonishing. I did not think that I was in a stressful period but I was preparing an exam for many weeks. For me, it was just a normal day-to-day stress. From the day I did the exam and...

Hi all, it's me, bothering again. Type 1 diabetic, since almost 25 years now. On MDI: humalog + tresiba. I am 28 years old, very active and with a slim profile. Here is the problem. Since more than a week, I have seen my body become very resistant (not sensitive) to insulin. For years, my...

Could you please provide us a picture of where exactly on the thigh you put it? I'd like to try.

@ljmercer No weight chance. And I know what you mean... When I was a teenager I struggled SO much, and the only thing I could get from doctors is "well when you're lax you're results are lax"... Most people don't get that diabetes is not 1+1=2. I met so many idiots and careless doctors that I...

Thanks a lot for your reply and support! I am 28, diabetic since I am 5 years old, no complications yet, and a male.

Hey guys, Sorry to bother you again with my struggles... Just wondering if anyone lived a similar situation. So since 3 days I have a drastic change in my body's response to insulin; I became MUCH more sensitive, my insulin apparently being 500% stronger?? I started having constantly big and...

What is your diet like?

I totally get what you are stating. But the thing is, what you are describing is a ketogenic diet (which I tried many times, with very bad outcomes), which is not what Bernstein advocates (as my plan is to try this specific diet)...

Hi guys, Thanks to all for your participation to this forum, it is always a tremendously nice experience to read everyone's posts! I am planning to try the Dr. Bernstein diet - which advocates high protein, moderate fat, low carb, but my issue with diets is always to get enough calories as I...

What's the point on continuing with these sensors if none of them is working properly? Even if they replace it, it's always the same inaccuracy story...

Hello all! Since a few months, my freestyle libre sensors are always very inaccurate. I don't know what happened, but it's like if the quality of their products have been lowered?? Anyways, I would like to try alternative sites; I know that some of you put it on the thigh, but where exactly? I...

More than 95% of the reviews/comments that I read about the tresiba made me confident that it is THE basal to try as everyone appreciates its safety and efficiency. I started 3 days ago, but I seem to have lots of problems. I was at a 8 units daily dose of levemir, and I am injecting 8 units of...

Thanks a lot guys, your advices are really helpful and appreciated in these struggling times...
