Hi, I found out that I was LADA a few weeks ago. I had been misdiagnosed as Type 2 in 2020 but really is was latent Type 1. For almost two years I’d successfully controlled diabetes with a low carb diet and over the last couple of months all control was lost. I eventually was admitted to...

Lots of factors at play so probably a complex one to unpick: Type 2 since Early August 2020, very well controlled with Low Carb diet. Taking Sertraline antidepressant sine Dec 2021, aware that this can make BG harder to control. Feb HBA1C 48mmol/l. Thyroid tested and told it had become under...

Many, many people have had a tough time over the last couple of years. One of my teenage children became very unwell and the last year and a half has effectively seen me become a carer much of the time. When I struggled to cope I started taking sertraline antidepressants, they have helped...

Hi, I feel really very well on a low carb diet. I am fit and feel really good. I’m told that I look better too. My type 2 diabetes is under good control with diet alone. My only problem is apparent IBS. It is a very real problem too as there can be urgency involved. I often have a low...

I feel fab eating lower carb meals. There are so many benefits: I don't get hungry so hace lost some of the middle age spread, also I don't get so much brain fog. Touch wood, after a rocky start, my migraines have disappeared. What has surprised me most is that 40+ years of nibbling my...

Following a recent T2DM diagnosis my BG levels fell rapidly and are in the range for a normal person now. Metformin made me feel dreadful and I stopped it after 6 days. My BG was in a normal range by then. Rather than showing any interest in my low carb diet, my nurse and GP seem disinterested...

I am newly diagnosed and on a low carb diet. It is now apparent that two hours after eating dhal my BG spikes to over 10 mmol/l (this has happened twice now) and I should avoid in future. There is so much evidence that suggests it should be the opposite, it seems bad luck that my body is...

Diagnosis 6 days ago (type 2). Felt grim for a few days. Taking Metformin. Feeling much better today. Morning BS of 6.5, ate apple cinnamon porridge for breakfast, 2 hours later BS 15.1. I had a 5 mile gentle cycle. Before lunch BS 9.5, then lunch in parents garden (ham, egg, tomato, lettuce)...

I had my first phone contact with the GP Practice nurse about my diabetes today, I made notes as there was a lot to take in. She asked how my feet were and I said fine and she explained that I would get a review with a foot care check in 6 weeks following my next blood test. It was also...

Hello, I wasn't expecting this. Although, blurry vision, up at night for hours with unquenchable thirst, frequent peeing should have been clues, only started 3 days ago. I have a bmi of 23, I am active, 48yo with thyroid disease (Hashimotos) and severe migraine. My paternal grandmother had...
