[QUOTE="kerrygrant26, post: 488793, member: 93358"] Hi just me again, the diabetes nurse told me one or two glasses of wine are fine but to be aware that alcohol lowers blood glucose, so if I am having a glass of wine (or 3 in my case lol) to always have a small snack before bedtime and to yet again check my glucose levels. As for my diagnosis I was clearly type 1 as I had high ketones in my water sample and sugar along side blood glucose readings of 24-26, it seems some people wait a while for a definitive diagnoses but hang in there everything will become clearer once they figure out whether your t1 (autoimmune) or t2. I was a carb freak to although not vegetarian and it has been hard limiting my carbs but I am starting to enjoy the foods I am eating now and not just the same old same old. Lucky you (if you can call it lucky) on the thyroid treatment front I have to wait until mid April to see an Endocrinologist about my hyperthyroidism :( [/QUOTE]
