[QUOTE="JennyP, post: 425211, member: 82919"] I was probably on more carbs in the last few years...say around 150g a day. And some days maybe more. I was not being 100% strict except to watch my weight. So I did have chocolate ... and potatoes and rice.. I had a parathyroid adenoma and i believe that can cause pancreaitis and I know I have had two attacks of that. I also had my Gall Bladder removed late last year. I am not sure if that means anything in re to BGL... I think I was put onto SR Metformin as I was dxed Insulin Resistance. That was at least 18 months ago.. Fasting BGL were always around 5.5 and we were watching them.. so my diet was fairly healthy ..in a non urgent sort of way. I did gain weight though as I was inactive due to the bone pain of Hyperparathyroidism. For several months I had to use crutches as my legs were so painful.. and the bone pain and fatigue affected me for about 5 years. My BGL was stable at 5.5 for about a year on Metformin and has now jumped to 6.2 this year despite me losing 15kg, and despite a sudden return to good health ( after the surgery) , and more exercise. It is really puzzling! My fasting BGL have been 6.2 all year... which is why I had the GTT... and I was dxed from there. Now I am testing myself before meals and after meals and the trend still continues very slowly upwards... Would it be wise to repeat the C Peptide and GAD antibodies test at a different pathology sometime within the next few months ? are they tests that can have a false negative/normal ? My pathology is very rural and they courier the 'rarer' tests to central office and I know from my parathyroid testing - that some tests need special care en route. Thanks, Jen.. [/QUOTE]
