Latest A1c is 40 or 5.8.... so basically stable. No cholesterol results except for trigs 1.0 and a useless total of 4.4 and fasted they were. Basically unchanged. I also have NASH liver disease, latest scans and results have shown improvement, which is good news. My liver is a normal size...

Quite the presentation from Ivor Cummin's and Dr,Paul Mason This is highly informative imo. Covers a lot of stuff, makes so much sense. Well, worth watching. Apologies if it has already been posted. So, if you have an hr to spare, check it out if interested. Discussing insulin resistance, the...

Curious as to what people do during isolation. What do you do for fun etc. I'm not interested in cleaning, precautions and all that jazz, but what you do for entertainment. Can't spend all day on the net. We all have our own routines, so do share if you will. Some of the things I have started...

As the title asks, who else is a TOFI (Thin on the outside, fat on the inside) ? It seems to me this is an important distinction.... you develop a diabetic condition much quicker and it takes longer to reverse in general for those who pursue LC/KETO or Carnivore lifestyles. It can also result...

A friend posted this on facebook. Make of it what you will. This is in the USA The Food and Drug Administration has issued a recall for an insulin pump that thousands of people use with Type 1 diabetes. The recall is centered around certain Medtronic MiniMed 600 series insulin pumps. One...

This isn't just about Alzheimer's, it's risk in diabetes etc. This covers a range of topics..... hour long for those interested in this. Thought this was well worth posting. That word hyperinsulemia appears again.

Didn't actually see the specialist this time, just the resident, but these are the latest results. Last A1c level was 5.7 about 4 months ago. New level is 5.4 and next appt is in 6 months. I was a bit surprised it had dropped a little, but wasn't complaining either. No issues for me to talk...

I had a recent c-peptide test, came back 0,3 nmol/L with a FBG of 6.1... this result came after a 13hr fast, not your typical 8hrs. I follow a low carb approach, around 40g per day, have done for years. By the time I had the sample collected, 13hrs had passed from my last meal. Was not...

A few quick tid bits about me. Due to cystic fibrosis and more to the point, transplant medications, I joined the type 2 club about 10 yrs ago. I'm 47 yrs old. 19 yrs post double lung transplant. My a1c has been sitting at 5.9 for the last year and a half. Happy with where I'm at. Life is good!
