[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 2437534, member: 196960"] If you have had a loose tummy for a long while you will be low on electrolytes, B12, magnesium and possibly iron. All of which make you tired. When was your last full blood tests? Myself I used insulin to reduce my huge insulin resistance before and after my bariatric operation. I needed bariatric help due to 400units of insulin (made up from triple dose Toujeo300 and novarapid) giving me unsatisfied hunger and 23st with the ailments that came with it. How much insulin were you Injecting when your c-peptide came back as 2000? Mine was 793 then 1002. I produced more insulin from Carbs. FOR ME Carb = insulin. Without my liver proceeding it correctly and it kicked out glucose into my blood. However I have been testing my reaction to Carbs lately and I'm clearing a high bg on eating.. after 2hr testing. I'm delighted. I seemed to be no longer insulin resistant but my overweight status is due to lack of being able to exercise (back and neck problem) and an underactive thyroid with additional meds which give me weight gain as a side effect. I'm at the best status with my diabetes that I've ever been. I'm only taking 1000mg metformin and no insulins. So because I too have had diabetes a long time it was questionable whether I had a different type of diabetes too. My team are happy to confirm my status as type 2 now. I had symptoms when I was 6yrs old and now I'm 50yrs old. I naturally was drawn to high protein eating with periods of carb cravings. Hence I was overweight by the time I was 7yrs old. My teenage boy has now gone on high protein lower Carbs and he no longer gets carb cravings and is slimming down. I'd suggest you try fish and seafood if you like it as your main protein intake. Even yogarts can be helpful if not filled with syrup and fruit juice. Options of low fat cheeses etc. are in most supermarkets in the UK. I ate a low fat burger for dinner last night. It was a bit over seasoned with black pepper but good for my bgs all the same. I'm glad you've posted here. You will get some excellent advice to try and see what works for you. I feel positive for you. I know you can get your diabetes in a better place, for sure. [/QUOTE]
