[QUOTE="Hertfordshiremum, post: 2403417, member: 507802"] Hi You have had lots of lovely replies, but I thought I would mention a few things. Are you on fast acting insulin as well as Lantas? Or have you not been given this yet? I would keep chasing that appointment. You mention that you also have hypothyroidism, I also have Hashimotos disease (a type of hypothyroidism) a few years back I paid to see an endocrinologist as I was at my wits end and he told me your metabolism relies on the correct amount of insulin, thyroxine and cortisol interacting properly to function correctly. If you have put weight on have you had your TSH checked recently? Although the range is 0.5 to 5 he told me to stay healthy it shouldn’t be high than 2.5 Your Levothyroxine will work much better if taken before bed rather than in the morning, when do you currently take it? I have had terrible trouble with food and although type 1 LADA and not insulin resistant I just cannot eat many carbs as I spike too badly and if I increase my insulin I then have a bad hypo. The book I have found most helpful and have most success with is This one [URL]https://www.amazon.co.uk/Low-Carb-Diabetes-Cookbook-delicious-diabetes/dp/1785041401/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2HUDCYN71BZ31&dchild=1&keywords=emma+porter+low+carb+diabetes+cookbook&qid=1621373705&sprefix=Emma+porter%2Caps%2C163&sr=8-1[/URL] I am sure there are lots of good books but for me personally this works the best. I also read Dr Bernstein diabetes solution book which I saw many people on this site follow and it really helped me understand a lot of issues Glad you posted when having a bad day, it’s good to help each other out especially at the moment when it’s so difficult to get an appointment.
