I have been having the exact same problem @Picci so your post very interesting to read. I too am going to cut the sat fats, they make up alot of my diet along with veggies so its a big change and I am hoping (praying!) it works. Really interesting @donnellysdogs I have posted a similar post in...

Thanks @Brunneria it literally came on overnight after I had the small amount of grains, it would make sense that I might have a reaction to that because iv cut them out for so long. My throat feels swollen up and everything!

Thanks great info - maybe a silly question but how did you know about drop in kidney function? I had some sweet potato and actually a bit of cous cous which I never normally eat (no grains/gluten ever) after exercise last night and some more carbs introduced today (sweet potato and some...

Thank you @Wurst I think I will try cutting out the saturated fats or cutting them down at least. I don't eat cheese ect much except everyone once in a while but the effect you describe does fit what I have experienced with the coconut oil. Not straight away but after using it for some time. In...

@nigelho that is interesting, although I did not understand it all. I am on a pump and have been since age 11 so have been on Novarapid since then and nothing else - never heard of anyone changing insulin type on the pump is this something only relevant if you are objecting both short and long...

@Wurst Sorry another thing - when you said you had further problems with cholesterol, did you also see a return of your insulin resistance or did your new insulin sensitivity hang around? Did you have any other problems apart from your cholesterol numbers basically? Thanks :)

Thank you that is really helpful :)

Just read the other post from @Wurst thanks, going to try swapping out the sat fats for the other types and see if this works - sounds much more palatable than raising carbs and raising insulin. Edited to add: This would also make sense as I have started having coconut oil in coffee over the...

Hmm I would like to be just over thinking it but I don't think so! The change is too drastic... Is the only answer really that I need drastically more insulin all of a sudden? My main aim is to reduce insulin and weight so the last thing I want to be doing is going the opposite way

Hi everyone thanks for the replies massively helpful! @zjed that seems like exactly what I am experiencing. I have been low carb/paleo/clean for a good few years but have definitely tightened up again the last 6 months or so following some weight gain that had crept up on me and have recently...

Just saw that thanks :)

Yeah it's not exactly Benidorm up here! Thanks again :) c

Sorry forgot to mention I am on a pump incase that wasn't clear in my original post! Diagnosed at 5, got my pump at 11 - now 24 to give you an idea :)

Hi Noblehead, thanks so much for your response! Have been trawling the forum for past posts :) I did think that about the heat ect but I'm in Scotland and it's only really been hot the last two days to be honest! But last week I got a whole new lot of insulin from the chemist just incase as it...

Hi everyone, I am new and have come here at my wits end! So hopefully someone can shed some light on my dilemma. I've been eating a Paleo type diet (all natural, no bread pasta ect very high nutrient dense ALOT of salad, veggies, fish and eggs ect) for a few years now for general health as...
