Your c-peptide UCPRC supports substantial insulin secretion (> 0.6 nmol/mmol) which discounts type 1 (and Lada) after 3 to 5 years after diagnosis. However, with your BMI I suggest they need to check for MODY.

I’ve read his diabetes code, but not the obesity code, I was 31 when I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes (no diabetes in 1st pregnancy) no history of any form of diabetes on either side of the family could it still be MODY?, only other ailment I suffer from is psoriasis which I think may increase risk of type 2Your c-peptide UCPRC supports substantial insulin secretion (> 0.6 nmol/mmol) which discounts type 1 (and Lada) after 3 to 5 years after diagnosis.

Weight only matters, when you are obese, (clearly not) or when you have an eating disorder when you eat and bring it back up later.(clearly not)
As long as your weight is stable and your health isn't effected.
Quite a few women pray for your weight!
There certainly is a family history element in MODY. Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition There is a risk for patients with an organ-specific autoimmune disease to have increased risks of developing autoimmune responses against other organs or tissues. It's worth mentioning to your GP. Have you had antibody tests?I’ve read his diabetes code, but not the obesity code, I was 31 when I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes (no diabetes in 1st pregnancy) no history of any form of diabetes on either side of the family could it still be MODY?, only other ailment I suffer from is psoriasis which I think may increase risk of type 2
Thank you for the link, actually think people on here know more than the doctors and dsn’s. I’ve read the whole article. My dad and his mum both apparently had psoriasis but only a small patch on their elbows(I never saw it). Been told I got it at 3 on my first day at nursery (absolutely hated it). Nobody in the family has ever been overweight and I’ve never been over 8 stone(apart from when pregnant) weirdly in my 1st precnancy the psoriasis cleared up completely. I had the antibodies test in June this year and it came back normal. Will try & download the results when the nhs app is working againThere certainly is a family history element in MODY.

There's quite a good summary on the main page of the link. But you're antibody negative to the main antibody types. Maybe you're a yet to be discovered diabetes type they just have to call type 2 at present. You certainly can't tolerate carbohydrates whatever the type.Says file too big to download

Thanks for the link, I can remember reading it quite a while ago, I fast from dinner at night (around 7pm) and don’t eat again until breakfast (usually around 10am or a little later) & always take black coffee & coconut oil to the gym with me, unfortunately it doesn’t work for running but I’ll go back to trying it againThere's quite a good summary on the main page of the link.

There is a Dr Fung's blog I remember:

Since diagnosis, the ability to run for fitness has alluded me, because of weight problems, and age, I have since losing the weight and more importantly my health, I still can only run a few hundred yards, and I prefer to walk. Maybe because I have always walked, in my younger days, work and for recreational activities.Thanks for the link, I can remember reading it quite a while ago, I fast from dinner at night (around 7pm) and don’t eat again until breakfast (usually around 10am or a little later) & always take black coffee & coconut oil to the gym with me, unfortunately it doesn’t work for running but I’ll go back to trying it again
Thanks, I only run fasted because we go at 6.30am before work, find it hard and always have (more a sprinter) lockdown didn’t help anyone, going to walk for the next couple of weeks and try & speak to my DSN tomorrow regarding the gliclazide, weight training (favourite exercise) doesn’t seen to make much different to b/s, peloton cycling (couple of hours after lunch lowers b/s quickly so will be my only cardio for a few weeks. No exercise today and haven’t got to go out so trying really low carbSince diagnosis, the ability to run for fitness has alluded me, because of weight problems, and age, I have since losing the weight and more importantly my health, I still can only run a few hundred yards, and I prefer to walk. Maybe because I have always walked, in my younger days, work and for recreational activities.
In fact, I don't need to run because I walk. This way I know I'm not going to get a liver dump. Our bodies are designed to walk, and maybe run, but you can't run all day. Walking helps with digestion and control of your BS levels. At my age, walking is enough exercise for me.
When sports people exercise, they carb up because they are not in Keto, and you will use your energy quicker, because you need energy, but because of whatever is happening with your hormonal response, your body can't cope, so you fast before exercise, but that ain't working, if you carb up, that doesn't work. You are running to be as fit as possible. You don't need to lose weight, but you will, that is natural if eat less than you use.
Because of adapting to low carb, the body takes time to start producing ketones for energy. But from everything I have read, is that you are persevering with having a few carbs, when if you cannot tolerate carbs, like me and quite a few T2s can't, those few carbs are for want of not swearing, is messing you up. I also reckon that the glic has a half life that is also having an effect.
Your next move is to adapt properly to ketosis, and dump the carbs and glic. And test and record all your meals, and see if you feel better not doing the strenuous exercise, because you never know it could be the hormones that you need when you exercise.
Keep safe

From what Dr Fung is saying the weight training will make a difference to thin type 2's in the long run as you need a higher percentage of muscle (higher capacity to store glucose) to stop your blood sugars from spiking.Thanks, I only run fasted because we go at 6.30am before work, find it hard and always have (more a sprinter) lockdown didn’t help anyone, going to walk for the next couple of weeks and try & speak to my DSN tomorrow regarding the gliclazide, weight training (favourite exercise) doesn’t seen to make much different to b/s, peloton cycling (couple of hours after lunch lowers b/s quickly so will be my only cardio for a few weeks.

Try some protein instead for a slower more gentle rise. The stairs would take some people lower.Been ringing my DSN all day, no answer, rang the doctors surgery couldn’t even get through to a receptionist, husband had to pick me up from work and leave my car there as b/s 4.1, now home and it’s 3.7
I really wanted to speak to her before I stopped the gliclazide, but I’m not taking any more.
Im going to have to run up the stairs a few times to get b/s up, I’m eating any sugar or carbs

Thanks for the advice, I was stuck between 3.6 & 3.8 for 90 minutes tonight, (ate dinner of salmon, roasted broccoli & cauliflower cheese) in that time, fell asleep and just woken up to a 4.1.If you haven't already, have some dairy, like a piece of cheese.
Just relax and eat low carb for your last bit of food before you retire.
I would, if your surgery won't answer, phone the hospital out of hours number and explain that you have been having episodes of hypoglycaemia. And more importantly, you have been going hypo on and off daily, despite stopping the meds.

How low are your hypos on a finger prick reading?Haven’t had any gliclazide since Monday morning (still had a hypo every evening or night since).
