[QUOTE="iwilltouchyourcat, post: 2508360, member: 553162"] Thank you for your replies this is very helpful. I am overweight and carry that weight around my middle (I’m like a beanbag on two rulers, body shape wise!) so your suggestion of liver dump seems reasonable. Or it is type 1/Lada and I just need to wait for the gad result either way. I’m just reluctant to ‘throw more meds at the problem’ if what I am doing in terms of diet will be beneficial in the long run and I just need to wait until my liver runs out of glucose to dump. I am losing weight- ive gone from obese to overweight - I’ve lost 6.6 kg this month but last week put on 0.5kg despite eating ****** all… although today i weighed myself and have lost another kilo so it seems to go in fits and starts . I am vegan (by choice) AND have coeliac disease which complicates low carb but I’m sticking to 30-40 net carbs a day and have good fats like avocado nuts (not too many) and olive oil as my fat sources. Plus the purition shakes are made from flax and chia and all the good stuff. I’ve decided to try the fast 800 to see if that helps speed things along. My morning and evening readings are pretty much okay (compared to feb when I got dka) and are in the 5-7 range largely. But it’s that weird lunchtime peaks I’ve been doing IF since end of feb with no cheating and am into the routine of it now so your advice on changing it up is something I’ll do. I wish I could have these conversations with the medical professionals I speak to! Everyone here is so helpful and knowledgeable. I think I won’t take the linagliptin until I get my gad results as if it is just a case of type 2 that will eventually get better the longer I look after my diet and lose weight I can go for the light at the end of the tunnel. And if it is type 1, then I wouldn’t remain on those meds anyway (apart from metformin I guess) This whole process has been a rollercoaster and yesterday was a particularly bad day. I constantly feel judged because of my weight and it’s all the doctors see. I get it, I need to lose weight but I have been doing and am working so hard to trying to change my lifestyle. It just so hard sometimes when you don’t see results and are constantly confused about what your various organs are doing! Thanks again all [/QUOTE]
