[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2314146, member: 345386"] Bloods done 8-9 years ago are all very interesting,...... but useless in assessing any current situation. It is also noteworthy that when it comes to antibody tests; a negative antibody test rarely completely rules out any given auto-immune condition. For both T1 and Rheumatoid Arthritis, around 20% of those with T1 and Rheumatoid Arthritis are sero-negative, meaning they don't show any antibodies, but it is the starting point. I don't know if your partner has online access to her medical records, but that, and keeping spreadsheet records can be a useful means of recording and assessing a direction of travel of some health markers. Of course, it can help (or hinder!) being a bit of a data geek (like me). Again, I'd urge a period of data gathering. If it comes to looking at intolerances, I'd firstly look at dairy. Many, [I]many[/I] people are a bit sensitive to dairy. Dairy is easier to assess, in that improvements are usually seen quickly, and unlike gluten where a gluten free diet has to be absolutely gluten-free, dairy intolerances tend to improve even with reduced dairy intake. Sugar levels and dietary improvement will help everything, and is the way to be, but please don't pin everything on diabetes. You could potentially be closing your mind to other issues. At this stage, I urge an open mind, and open notebook/spreadsheet and mind in hoover mode, sucking in as much data as you can. In time, you can move to microscope mode to examine all you have gathered, but please do urge her to keep the bloods tight, where she can, but don't expect flat line blood glucose. It seems T1 doesn't play that game! [/QUOTE]
