    No background insulin, nighttime hypos

    My freestyle also alarms at night and I fingerprick to check it - sometimes it’s inaccurate but sometimes I’m low too. If I’m low just before bed in the 4’s I have a Planet paleo brand grass fed cacao chocolate collagen hot drink at night with no milk just boiling water added - the collagen...

    Repeated Antibody tests - what now!?

    Agree - no way to tell - but there there is growing scientific research supporting covid / covid vaccination being a trigger for type 2 / type 1 diabetes and autoimmune disease - covid vaccination has been far too highly politicised so a more open scientific discussion is needed

    Metaformin...eek!
