This is exactly how I feel when I am wearing my libre and it’s on show. A lot of friends and family just make stupid comments to be honest [emoji23] Recently I got “Is your diabetes where you can’t eat sweets or the one where you need to eat sweets every now and then?”

Hi all So I’m just over a year of being diagnosed diabetic (I was misdiagnosed type 2) and coming up to a year of being diagnosed Type 1/LADA. I work as a care assistant with the elderly. I enjoy my job but it is difficult with the demand and staffing levels etc. I am on novorapid, levemir and...

Hello I am 26 years old and was diagnosed with Late-onset type 1( 1.5/LADA) in September 2021, after a misdiagnosis of type 2 in the July. I’m not sure what “caused” my diabetes. But my hba1c was VERY high at almost 160. In November I had my 2nd hba1c taken and it was just below 80, (still...

Hey I know this is an old thread I just wondered if you got an answer from your GP about this as I’m experiencing something similar?

I was just told I had the antibodies present , she’s didn’t give me a figure as it was a phone appointment. I wasn’t sure what I was hoping for really? Just to have an answer and be on the correct treatment plan Xx

Not sure if anyone is still following this but I had bloods taken (c-pep and Gad) and I have been diagnosed as late-onset type 1. I’ve got some upcoming appointments with diabetic team (I am hoping to be taken off the metformin as it has been giving me a horrible tummy!) Thank-you for...

So I did get referred for the c-peptide and GAD shortly after I posted this and got the results back this week. I have been diagnosed with late-onset type 1 (26) Xx

I’ve had my diagnosis about a month now, I’m on metformin and being treated type2. My bmi is around 22 and so I do qualify for a c-pep, I just feel like I am being sent round and round without answers and so I’m getting fed up

Potentially this could be why? There’s just a massive lack of communication, and when I contacted the hospital they weren’t helpful at all. I will try and phone through to my nurse again at the GP I think

Thank-you so much ! Yes I didn’t think they’d be cheap but that’s a lot [emoji23]Xx

I live in Manchester, I can’t find much online for private c-pep Xx

Does anyone here live in the UK and know where I could pay to get a C-Peptide? My GP are sending me round and round with no answers. I got told I needed one, had bloods taken at the GP to then be contacted and told that they can’t do the test as their results for this take too long (??) and I’d...

The chocolate wasn’t given to me, I bought it. It was 85% and less than 2g carb in the piece I had ☹️ Yes I don’t want them to keep going up I won’t be making that choice again

Bump

So I’ve had the nurse from my practice phone me and she was quite surprised with what they did(or didn’t) do at the hospital and so I will be getting a C-Pep. My levels have been coming down a bit with lower carbs but I “fell off the wagon” yesterday at a family bbq. (Rice and ***** worms- I...

Ah, I see! Yes they are very high, I’m annoyed I didn’t get this checked sooner but here we are. I am finding the levels are coming down (slowly). Before bed last night (just past midnight) my reading was 14.3, at 9.40am this morning they were 12.7 (before breakfast). Of course, this is still...

So after phoning (again)I have managed to get a new finger prick/lancet which is working much better, my machine monitors keto levels but I haven’t been given the strips for this so I will have to get some. I ended up having a bit of Greek yoghurt for breakfast, Turkey salad with no dressing...

I can’t even get past the receptionist at my GP, they’re truly awful. I have only been offered phone appointments which, eh?

Sorry I am still figuring out how to use this Xx I need to get either a new reader for ketones. I think the one I have been given is duff. However I will try and get a new finger prick first. For my evening meal last night I had leafy salad with salmon tomatoes red pepper and avocado and...

My ketones with the nurse were at 1.4, and my bloods at 20. I haven’t been able to test regularly due to the monitor not working. Yesterday I ate a small bowl of shreddies in the morning(I know this is high carb but there was nothing else in) I had some fish at lunch time, I did a workout...
