Hi Olivv, Your peripheral neuritis plus fatigue and balance issues could be to do with B12 deficiency, which is extremely serious, but often ignored by GPs. Learn about the signs and symptoms. The high cholesterol and raised blood sugars could be to do with a thyroid condition. If you have...

Hi, Although I am myself a type 2, my partner is a LADA. His blood glucose never goes below 7, despite 500mg of diabex. We are both on an extremely low carb diet and do a modified fast twice a week (around 500cals). In between we eat plenty of meat, fish, fat, nuts and low carb vegs. We go on...

Before you continue with Metformin, are you aware that Metformin carries a high risk of Vitamin B12 malabsorption and that low B12 can cause demyelination of the nervous system. The effects of this have often been tragically mistaken for diabetic peripheral neuritis and diabetic associated...

Not sure what 'status' refers to

Metformin will cause B12 deficiency which causes demyelination of nervous system and brain. Early symptoms are pain. Make sure your doctor tests you and monitors you for neurological and psychiatric symptoms. I would be insisting on B12 injections if I took metforming - before the deficiency...

Hi, I just posted about B12 too, not having seen your excellent report on German therapy. You might post a comment to the article I mentioned. I do however think that people will benefit from the films and links in it at https://candobetter.net/node/4463

It is very common for doctors to overlook B12 deficiency-caused neuropathy in the belief that it is due to diabetes. This is both a common complication of oral antihypoglycaemics and often part of an autoimmune syndrome involving pernicious anaemia. (The other diseases in this syndrome, apart...

My partner was 8.2 this morning and 8.6 yesterday morning. I took him to his endocrinologist two days ago to say that his BGL were getting higher and higher in the mornings, although hardly moved up after food. After five days of climbing morning BGLs, despite walking, low carb diet and...

My partner can go to bed hours after a meal with a blood sugar of, say 6.2, but wake up with a blood sugar of 9. Most of the time, before meals, his blood sugars are between 6 and 7. Then, after a meal they are not much different. (We eat almost no carbs). So I guess my question arises from...

Thanks but Lactulose is indicated for constipation. It takes a while to work and is not addictive. A strangely little known fact is that it is also brilliant for liver failure in that it restores gut bacteria and reins in overgrowths of a gut bacteria that produce ammonia and cause...

The problem has persisted over several days and I think has been a feature for months at least. It is only recently, however, that I have learned that it could be associated with the body's attempts to reduce blood sugar levels. Since lactulose causes diversion of fluid back to the gut, I...

Hi all, I'm here for my partner, for whom I am the carer. He has pernicious anaemia, Hashimoto's disease and recent diagnosis of diabetes 2 (the latter which he has been dodging for years as a prediabetic). He is currently recording (for the first time) his blood glucose before and after...
