Hey, Daibell. Yeah, it's frustrating. The clinics seem set up to do T1 and T2, and anything that falls outside of that is off their radar. Agree that all you can do is ensure you have the right insulin regime and diet and the rest is up to you. Well, I resolved the issue. I've cancelled the...

A clinician went out of his way to phone me to say his colleague was unreasonable. You were not even there, and are I am assuming not a doctor, and yet you read the word 'anxiety' and that I made my own decision about the glucose tolerance test, and think it's sufficient to conclude that I am...

Hello everybody.. Hope you are doing well. I am feeling stressed out about my endocrinology appointment earlier today. I have a possible LADA that has not been diagnosed. Highest sugar, 12.7 three hours after eating. Slow healing cuts, and some other signs. My anti-GAD was negative eight months...

Bewildered, I've had good results with barley. Especially pot barley has a lot of nutrients, and it's the most low glycemic of all grains. Also hummus and beans works well for me, as well as peas and (sometimes) carrots. I get the bulk of my starch from these sources. Anything more sugary, like...

Thanks, this is what I think is happening, my insulin level is low but my low carb diet is compensating for it without giving me high blood sugar. Thanks for the suggestion about ketones. It looks like this may be the only way I have right now of getting any info (short of doing a glucose test)...

No idea how you would gain weight on a 1000 calorie diet. Do you feel sick now while eating keto, or are you not eating keto anymore? I agree about seeing a doctor and getting tests, maybe diagnostic imaging. I had pain after eating and it turned out to be an ulcer. I believe nausea after...

I'm not on insulin so I can't eat cereal at all, but this works for me as a filling and quick breakfast: -3 scrambled eggs + cottage cheese. -frozen peas and corn with some optional carrot or lentils that I pre-cooked the day before. OR, half a grapefruit. The medium-high carbs from the beans...

Hmm. Re: feeling hungry but not wanting to eat.. I don't know that I've ever experienced that before. For me, when I feel hungry is when I want to eat, automatically. I'm not sure what this could be. Maybe someone with a T2 problem would have more of an idea... Personally, I used to eat high...

I know. That's what I thought. It was 12.7 three hours post-prandial, and 11.5 four hours post-, which is almost a fasting glucose (fasting glucose is five hours or more without food). My endo strongly felt that it was a false positive, because I swung from low carb to high carb eating all of a...

@Jaylee thanks for asking. Yes I have a meter. My endo recommended that I stop using it for the time being though. My BS wasn't high before, and it isn't high now, I just feel way better, and I can eat more foods without feeling like I've just ingested five chocolate bars or three cans of coke...

I am a likely T1 with gut issues and some mental health stuff as well, so, for what it's worth... It sounds like you are self-medicating with food. But you seem pretty aware of this. I would wonder about the reason for your food cravings, as I would suspect that you might have a neurotransmitter...

Hey everyone, I am new here. I posted awhile ago about not being sure if I am diabetic or not. I don't want to do the OGGT as I have had a bad reaction from single instances of sugar excess, and my endo is on board with my rationale about this. But I have some signs of impaired glucose control...

One of the things I missed when I went low carb was dark chocolate.. Here is my solution - sweetener-free hot chocolate. Cocoa, cinnamon / vanilla / nutmeg to taste; full fat coconut milk, some milk, boiling water and a pinch of salt. That's it, no sweeteners. The combo of the spices, the...

I'm not comfortable doing the OGTT. As mentioned, I had an episode where I ate a tonne of sugar and then the next day, I couldn't eat anything, and it did not improve from there. If you plotted it on a graph, it would be: eating a high carb diet one day, and then from then on, vegetables and...

Hi EllieM and Ronancastled, thanks so much for your replies. This is really helpful. Had not heard of type 3c diabetes and it is something that rings some bells with what my symptoms are, so I am going to ask my doctor to check about it. Also did not know about 'physiological insulin response,'...

Hi everyone, Sorry in advance for the long post. I am trying to find out if I am diabetic or not, and am curious as to what people think who have been on this rollercoaster ride themselves. This indeterminacy has been going on for me now for a year and a half. I have three people with T1D in my...
