Actually, I read the criteria for referring as being under three possible routes. Is it possible that your GP is thinking of lipodystrophy? There is an interesting article about it here https://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/36/8/2142 The article suggests that leptin treatment might help...

If you are getting stressed I'd go back to your medical team and say so. Have they yet suggested that you use a pump to keep tighter control? (Sorry, I know nothing about such things as a type 2, but a Type 1 friend mentioned that things had improved for her once she changed to a pump)

I had a look online to see if there was anything about this - I've recently been diagnosed as Type 2 and my blood sugar levels went down substantially with a low carb diet, so retinopathy is something I had been meaning to look at. There is a 2017 study reported here...

Trying to understand what might be going on here (because I am coming back to cheese now that I have found a brand with lactase to remove the lactose for me). Ellie says it might be delaying carb absorption, and crumble cookie is comparing the supper meal with the morning blood sugars. Might...

That's really interesting, I hadn't thought about this. The diabetic nurse suggested taking readings on rising, and before and after dinner, and my results began to look OK quite quickly. It was only after I'd seen the 2006 study that I started testing before and after breakfast, and was...

I know, I know, but I do want to experiment and understand as much as I can! Currently I'm happy with the blood sugars - I'll see next month whether the HbA1c is better than the March result - but I am unhappy about my waist measurement and I'll see if I can keep going until it's nearer the...

I was worried about it- it is the first apple I've had since diagnosis. I was also a bit surprised to see the carbs in the cottage cheese, which I think of as "cheese", i.e. minimal carbs, but I suppose it is more like milk, with lactose. I did wonder whether it was something to do with the...

I've been following the 800 calorie, low carb ideas (45-65 g protein, 30-50 carbs, 20g fibre) for a couple of months, since diagnosis as type 2, and have just subscribed to Fast800 to widen my meal choices. I'm usually eating my main meal for breakfast - last night the family meal was salmon...

Hi, I am not sure why I got the results I did this morning (see below) - what might be going on? I've started reading a Jenny Ruhl book, and there is a graph of continuous blood glucose monitoring at the end of chapter one from a 2006 study of non-diabetic subjects. It shows low, median and...
