Good morning, everyone: I am wondering if anyone else with T1 has had this situation. This morning I had the same low-carb breakfast as I usually do, and I dosed the same as I would with my wake-up BG. Now my BG has gone up to 22.1. I even did the finger prick to see if my sensor was on the...

Good morning all. I had bariatric surgery (stomach stapling) 41 years ago and most of the complications weren't known then, or else I forgot them. There are lots as in malabsorption of nutrients, etc. I was misdiagnosed as T2 back in 2017 at 69. Then after a very serious DKA episode in 2019...

I have been on insulin for 4 months. I was slowly going back to low carb to keep sugar down. I cracked my right wrist on Friday and have to use my left hand for everything. Very difficult, discouraging and stressful. Am typing with one finger of left hand. I can't make low carb meals or...

I was diagnosed T2 in March 2017, but went into DKA in May 2019. I was in hospital for 4.5 days and was very sick according to the nurses/doctors. I knew nothing about DKA. The doctors sent bloodwork off Island to check the antibodies and whatever else so they could give me a correct...

This thread is an offshoot of another, which got derailed by @Lynnzhealth's question. So we have moved her question, and the subsequent discussion to this new thread. Regards, Brunneria Lynnzhealth said: I was doing really well since about June 2017 when I started Keto. Everything was good...

I was diagnosed with T2 in March 2017 and was put on Metformin, which didn't agree with me. I gave it up and researched and found the LCHF lifestyle. I went on to lose 55 lbs, my A1C went to normal levels, everything was going well. This past December 2018, my fasting and post prandial...

Since I've been diagnosed with T2 in March 2017 I've been following the Keto plan and have gotten everything pretty stable since then, with no meds. I forgot to take my BG before breakfast today so waited 2 hr and took it after. It was 11.5!! YIKES! For breakfast I ate one fried egg, a tiny...

My good cholesterol, HDL, was staying pretty steady since I changed to the Keto lifestyle last May/June. The results from March '17, every three months was 154, 146, 156, 157, and now 129. Does anyone else have this happen on the Keto plan? What would cause these fluctuations? My LDL has...

Hi: I have been worrying about my weight loss for the past while. I am two months short of 70, have had my stomach stapled since 1980, have only one kidney, lost 35+ pounds since starting the Keto plan back in June and appear to be healthy otherwise. My next BG test is Dec. 21, but it's been...

I was diagnosed in March with T2 and I decided to control my BG with diet and exercise, so I started the Keto plan. I am almost 70 and I lost about 33 lbs since June. I lost it too quickly and am feeling a bit wobbly and off balance. I even lost my balance a month ago and fell and hit my head...

I was wondering if diabetics get violent mood swings, just out of the blue. I am T2, not on meds, controlling it with low-carbs and exercise. Just this evening I was fine, then a second later something didn't go right and I got extremely angry. First, I tried to get a cookie pan out of the...
