You are 100% right!! When I was diagnosed with type 2 I started to test and keep a food diary but was told by my GP that there was no need to do either of these things...the Metformin and HBA1C test would keep it on track, I listened and wish I hadn't!! Every time I went for a check up for the...

Bit late to reply as I see you posted this quite a while ago but I have started to take one turmeric tablet a day and don't know if a coincidence or not but since starting this, my BG has dropped quite a bit and am dealing with carbs (small amounts as am on low carb diet) much better

I love my pancakes (well more particularly crepes) on pancake day so was not looking forward to forgoing them, on this my 1st year with LADA so I went on an Internet hunt and found a website with low carb pancake recipes ( www.wholesomeyum.com) It may not suit anyone who doesn’t like to use...

His book has landed on my mat but haven't managed to read it yet. Sounds like a bit of a 'bible' Thanks Becca59

Funnily enough I am just researching the Dawn Phenomenon now. A whole new concept to me. SO much to learn and get my head around !!

Ha ha ...I agree. Am keeping fingers crossed that I'm not one of the unlucky ones who suffers spikes with it!! I'm seeing the nurse tomorrow so will mention the split dose to her...may be the way to go. Thanks for the suggestion...Now off in search of coffee........

Thanks for your reply on this - it's very helpful......and I didn't know about caffeine!! Eek...another thing to give up!? Is decaf ok or am I clutching at straws?

Besides the kind of food, you're new to this, which means you're not very experienced in what different foods and different amounts of insulin do to your blood sugar. Easily remedied: give yourself time to learn, test often and keep a diary of foods and blood sugars so you can find trends. And...

Hi, I'm new to this and just trying to get a handle on my numbers and am totally confused with the reading I just got Over the last 4-5 days I have managed to keep my levels between 6 and 9 (I know 9 is high but still experimenting) on basal insulin only. My diet has been fairly similar every...

Thanks so much for checking this out for me. And I suppose it could also have therefore been the fatigue..... Thanks for sharing that

I take Abasaglar and started on 8 units but as my BG wasn't coming into range I upped it to 9 units 3 days ago. I usually take it at 2230 each night but last night I fell asleep in front of the TV, alarm didn't wake me up and I ended up taking it an hour late. That's when I checked my BG so...

Delighted to be 6.9 this morning so at least I'm now in the range of 5-8 (which my DN told me was target) Yesterday my BG stayed fairly steady during the day but rose to 10 just before bed. Thinking that could be maybe because my basal was starting to 'run out'? (is this even possible?) Have a...

Thank you ! I'm being very careful because to be honest I am scared stiff!! I thought I was T2 for the last couple of years and tried v hard to get it under control - looking at the Keto diet I was almost following it anyway, so don't need to make many adjustments (although the odd After Eight...

8.4 this morning... I'm new to this and still trying to get basal right. This is the lowest I've had so am delighted (although know it's still high) Hope you keep posting here JoeT1 as I am really interested in following how you get on with Keto. Watched Dr Ian Lake's youtube presentation last...

Hi folks, I'm fairly new to this and still learning..... Was diagnosed Type 2 2 years ago (Wish I'd found this forum earlier) and managed it well through diet and exercise (and metformin) however BS continued to rise so have now been diagnosed as LADA and started on basal insulin 10 days ago...

Hi Rebecca, Sorry to hijack your post but I am also interested in advice on this. Was diagnosed Type 2, 2 years ago and despite changing diet, lifestyle and losing 3 stone my blood sugars kept going up so have just been diagnosed as LADA. I am just on a basal dose of insulin at the moment...
