Thanks. This whole thing started after I had mono/EBV about 6y ago now (was very symptomatic with classic diabetes symptoms), and I've had low c-peptide every time I've been tested, but it's been steady and not deteriorating, although my need for metformin has increased over the years. I was told at the time I was probably type 1.5, but my clinicians then didn't want to test for antibodies. I finally got tested for antibodies a year or two ago after I moved and got new healthcare providers and nothing was positive, so I've just been holding the course unless/until things take a turn, with the exception of backing off on the LCHF diet because of gastro issues starting up with fats.
I've been so stable for the past couple years that, combined with the negative antibody tests, I started to think maybe EBV just damaged my pancreas when I was ill, but not in a way that would continue to be progressive; however my constant hunger these days is making me worry a bit again. I wake up hungry, get hungry by 10am, am absolutely famished by 5pm, and sometimes am hungry again as I am going to bed at night (which I try to ignore). It's all a big mystery, but my FBG (usually my real Achilles' heel) haven't been too bad (around 6) this week since I've started testing again, so I'm not super worried about an immediate crash. Just hating this hungry thing—I used to get really bad "hanger" before I was diagnosed with blood sugar problems and do not want to be that person again!
