One bad day is just one bad day.

How much fat are you eating?

Hey Namake, I have a variant in the ABCC8 gene also. I've been managing / experimenting with low carb / keto and sometimes carnivore diet but have reintroduced a few carbs at times with mixed results. Currently I take Novorapid Insulin in the morning to deal with high morning numbers and...

Decaff?

Chamomile tea

Cauliflower only has 5g of carbohydrates per 100g and so should be fine for most diabetics. This is probably why many use cauliflower rice as a substitute for actual rice. Brown bread can contain as many carbs as white bread. Some brown bread might have a lower glycemic index, but I think low...

Slightly off topic maybe, but some other veg can work well in place of spuds for certain things. Celeriac puree can replace mash and is pretty tasty. Celeriac dauphinois is nice too.

Good to know, as I've just started to attempt carnivore diet for the second time.

Sometimes too much caffeine or caffeine withdrawal can give me a headache. Some artificial sweeteners seem to trigger a headache too. Maybe it's the coke? Could also bee lack of electrolytes or dehydration with this hot weather we are having. Although, seems unlikely dehydration if it...

Hey Bob, so I heard that MODY 1 & 3 account for about 70% of all MODY cases. You probably know most of this but for anyone else: MODY 3 is supposedly similar to type 1 diabetes. Apparently it is treatable with sulfonylureas for decades, but eventually most will need insulin. I am wondering if...

Hey Bob, currently there are 14 known types of MODY. Do you know which type she has? Some types act differently from others.

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13300-020-00864-4 "In a randomized crossover study conducted nearly 20 years ago, Pearson et al. [41] showed that patients with HNF1A-MODY have about a fivefold greater response to gliclazide (80 mg twice daily) than to metformin (1 g twice daily) and...

We all have some degree of insulin resistance. Time of day can affect insulin resistance. You might teed a higher bolus for a morning meal Temperature too. Extra weight causes more insulin resistance. Not a doc, but I'll hazard a guess that you would measure insulin and bg circulating in the...

Are you eating low carb and low fat? Are you underweight?

What I meant to add is that you can't put it in remission like you can with T2. I am able to control mody by going very low carb (<20g) but my fasting bg is still quite high, so in the future I might need insulin etc. If sulfonylureas work well then you are likely to manage bg easily...

It's hard for me to say how low. There are 14 different types of MODY (there could be more). Some types are way more common than others. I think I recall reading that most of the more common types respond well to sulfonylureas. I think I read somewhere that some MODY's need to cut minimum dose...

If you do have MODY, a lot of us (but not all) respond well to low doses of sulfonylureas.

Just wanted to say this topic is of interest to me. My fasting bg is always high in the morning and stays high for a while (7am - 1pm) , even with a zero carb day. I'm experimenting with eating times to see if it helps. I'm not on any medication, but I think I will need a high dose of a...

I have a shower first thing in the morning and it affects my blood glucose levels. Have others noted a change? Has anyone made any changes due to this, such as water temp or time of day? Thanks
