[QUOTE="xyzzy, post: 1353820, member: 40343"] Ok so now you are sounding like me. If you are not overweight and do loads of exercise and are getting ketones then short term cutting the sugar and starch right out should help however it sounds more like you could be a misdiagnosed and are actually slow onset LADA (T1.5) which is what they are now investigating me for. Given GP's and diabetic nurses tend to be slow at picking that up you could try the same approach as me which is to show that the only way you can maintain good BG's is by essentially eating a very low carbohydrate diet i.e. no sugar and starch.and then telling them that's not how you want to continue. You need to ask the GP for a GAD or c-peptide test. This will tell them if you are really T2 (mostly insulin resistant) or 1.5 (partial or significant loss of Beta cells) The GP may put up a fight as the test costs money but try and stand your ground. Point out that as a weight lifting 11 stone person you don't fit the profile of classic T2! PS. In a worse case if you get nowhere with the GP previous members of this forum have taken extreme measures and allowed their BG's to rise temporarily, get ketones and then presented themselves at A&E as hospital doctors are more aware. Re-reading your posts I'm shocked the GP or nurse hasn't picked up on your weight loss and ketones as they are both not normally present for bog standard T2 and are strong indicators of T1.5.
