I know! I had recurring thrush for almost two years before my diabetes diagnosis, and it's horrible! The more glucose is in your system, the more you will pee out. What type of diet do you follow? All carbs turn to glucose in the body, so maybe it would help to reduce the carbs in your diet.

Diabetes burn-out is very common, I second contacting your diabetes team to let them know things are not going well at the moment, and can they maybe help. You can also try to contact your GP to ask about help and reassess your antidepressants to see if something else is needed. You're 43...

I have never used a flozin, but flozins make you pee out sugar, creating the perfect dark, moist, warm, and sweet environment for thrush, especially in the genital area. It's a very common side effect.

I love it with cauliflower cooked al dente, and I've even used sausages to dip in the cheese fondue. Raw bell pepper tastes very good as well.

Hi @shell bull , I'm sorry to hear you are struggling. Would you like to tell us a bit more about yourself? What type of diabetes do you have, what medication or insulin are you on, what do you typically eat? If we know a bit more, maybe we have some ideas on what could help.

Are you on any medication other than insulin?

Ah, a bit confusing with the instructions on how to nominate in the opening post! :hilarious: Half the time I don't even know what day it is, let alone what date.

Crushing pork scratchings (I do it between two baking sheets which I attack with a bottle of booze) to crumb size works amazingly well!

Has anyone outside mods and former mods even noticed this thread? Where is everyone? Has @KennyA made it sound too horrible and are you all hiding now in hopes no one will nominate you? I can assure you it's worth your time, and if nothing happens soon I'll nominate at least 10 members tomorrow!

As a former mod, I can fully confirm this, and I highly recommend giving it a go if you have some time to spare and like working with a team of wonderful people!

Worth noting tht that is a locked thread, so a good source of information but no room for additional questions.

Isn't this simply a keto/very low carb way of eating? Lots of members are eating low carb or keto, including myself, and many of us have done so for many years with no plans to change. However, I do not follow a specific plan, I just steer away from the carbier stuff most of the time...

It's a 2.2 mmol/l difference, which is not a large difference, both say you're in the low teens. If your readings aren't dropping, you'll need to think about when you last took fast acting insulin and if this still may be active before deciding on a correction dose.

I don't understand. That's only a difference of about 2 mmol/l, and both numbers were saying you were slightly out of range but not dangerously so. Graph shows you were on the highish side but not extremely high most of the day, ignoring that first high which you caught very nicely. We can't...

I loved the video call with you this evening, @Zhnyaka , and we could understand eachother much better than either of us expected! I think it's amazing that the internet allows us to speak with people around the world. I also think you have the coolest cat, biting you on camera because you...

I'm sorry, I'm of exactly zero help here, I only know our Dutch healthcare system (and quite a bit on the NHS through this forum).

I'll have my fingers crossed for this continuing indefinitely! And if not, well, you already know how to work with your diabetes, should it return.

This is so interesting! I saw from your older posts your T3C was caused by recurring bouts of pancreatitis, and you were diagnosed at the same time as you quit problematic drinking last october. So by now your body has had 9 months to recover from the long term alcohol abuse. Who knows, this...

Very interesting thread. And I'm very happy I'm not a moderator at the moment, this shouts headache all over.

Feel free to share your struggles or wins, we're happy to listen or think with you! Spending time in hospital can't have been easy, both in recovery from your stroke and in dealing with your diabets on the side. Are you back home now?
