Hi there, Haven't posted on here for a while as all has been managed OK. Just been told that after only 6 years of LADA I now have the above additional medical condition. I already have several other autoimmune conditions. Can anyone advise me of prognosis (for them ) and possible progression...

Folks, After a 5 month wait I am going into hospital Monday 15 June for my triple bypass operation, maybe a couple of others bits n bobs when the surgeon gets in there and sees what is going on. I may not be on the forum for a few days but will be back online when I go to recuperate at my...

In common with most on here and despite trying to maintain a good diet and BG levels I find the prospect of the visits somewhat daunting. No matter. I turned up, on time, and was greeted warmly and introduced to another DSN from our local hospital. I'm also fortunate that this visit is at my GP...

Having followed LCHF for approx 12 months my recent bloods are amazing - just a normal test not for Big D: Cholesterol. 3.0 used to be over 6 and struggled to keep it that low while following "recommended" low fat etc diet. HDL 1.14. LDL 1.28. Trigs 1.28 Non HDL 1.9 Ratio 2.6.. Like...

It was 12 months ago today that my GP diagnosed me as being LADA rather than T2. My glide slope was almost 7 years,to the point at which I was making little insulin and that sporadically. What a roller coaster this past 12 months have been; A1c down to 44 from 117, cholesterol down to 3 from 6...

Hi there I am LADA and weigh 85Kg and am on 50 units just prior to breakfast and 22units prior to evening meal. It took about 4 months to get "balanced". Is this a lot or little ? A,different for a change.

Great news !!! Eye test,Monday 13 October. Nothing abnormal detected - ensure that optician eye tests are effected for other problems but no sign of retinopathy. I feel chuffed.

My language may have been a little blue. I now have a new GP, not something anyone with co-morbidities truly relishes. GP has asked for blood tests as it appears that I have been anaemic since early this year. Turns out that all appears to be as is, I am anaemic. We need to find out why. My...

What a glorious wonderful day. A1C. Oct 13. 117. Apr 14 62. Sep 14. 44. Not bad, not bad Lipids. total. 3.0. HDL 1.7. LDL. 1.5 Weight minus 9kg BP. 128/73 Creatinine Low in urine but high in blood. They are trying to figure this one out. Anaemia some, more blood tests...

Folks, Some good news, I think, for me anyway. After some 15 month of tests, CT scans, MRI scans et al I have, at last, been prescribed gabapentin and start tonight with 300mg, a week from now 300mg twice a day and two weeks from now 300mg three times a day. I do have some nerve damage and...

I'm still fairly new at this T1 game, except it is not a game. I woke at 07:20 got up, checked bloods which was 5.1, not too bad for an overnight fast. Pulled on shorts and a T and went out to bring dustbin back to house - bin day. Bin was only 20 yards away. Whilst walking to the bin my...

Last week I was at a residential study week at a college in SE London (WBC). Whilst admitting that the food, at times, could have done with a little more thought, on the whole it was good. What was surprising was the attitude of my study colleagues. We were in sessions or groups all week and...

I've been having some much lower than usual BGs over the past week which I shared with my DNS in my weekly email last (Sunday) night. This morning level was 4.7 after breakfast 10:00, my usual breakfast of Greek yogurt and berries, linseed and coconut. I was working in the garden and around...

I'm amazed that only a few weeks after getting back into preparing most food in my own kitchen I can come up with food that both looks interesting and tastes interesting. It is only these two things that will really grab our interest back I to real natural foods. Late onset T1, several...

I have now been late onset T1 since a proper, realistic,diagnoses end Oct 2013. Weekly contact with my DNS by email as I record my BGs in XL, email,it over on a Sunday night with a commentary on spikes etc. On a Monday I receive an email with suggested change in dose for the Humalogmix25 for...

Fasting bloods this morning which came out at 4.5, best ever and the icing on the cake ( I can write that but not eat it) is that my BMI is now under 30 (29.8). Low carb is certainly working albeit slowly, but does that really matter ? Just happy that the past 6 months with all that that...

Folks I have been recording in XL all that I eat in the hope that any blips in BGs can perhaps be traced back to see which, if any, foods make me higher than I should be. For interest only I attach a Summary for w/e Sunday 6 April 2014 which gives detail of intake and weekly averages for that...

11:20 this is, I hope, going to be interesting in that it is my 1st review, proper review. Last Thursday I had a review with my consultant rheumatologist so will sit down later today to see how best to manage both situations hopefully coming to a reasonable view. So many of the other...

Gave my self a treat tonight. Had a lamb steak, cauliflower and new potatoes boiled then sautéed in the lamb juices. I'll advise BG when I do my next check just before I go to bed. By the way - it was smashing, absolutely gorgeous.

Most of us are well aware that diabetes is "aggravated" by steroids no matter by which route they are administered. I saw my RA Consultant yesterday and he was very concerned about my current general discomfort with pain etc. He did not give me a steroid injection last time we met due to my...
