[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1013928, member: 240838"] Hi Dave, I have no official diagnosis but feel I don't produce any insulin as I never come back down after 3 hours when supposedly insulin runs out. I also see more than just trends but specifics. If I eat the same type (macros) meal everyday I see the same results. I think if I was still producing my own insulin I would randomly see different results. So I consider myself a T1. I am 51 and celebrated my one year anniversary with a pair of strappy sandals 6 months ago. On that beautiful day I didn't know if I should laugh or cry so I shopped, haha. At DX my BG was 550 and GAD was over 250 so that also says I produce no inulin. Just an FYI, my endo told me he wanted to take me off insulin and get a c peptide test because my BG was so good and I barely take any insulin but his nurse reminded him of my GAD so he said never mind and told me I was one of his best controlled diabetic and my BG was better than his. What ever that means. I think our roads do run parallel as I too have higher LDL but also high HDL. Limiting red meats and dairy in exchange for fish and poultry helped but LDL is not low. I don't worry too much about CHO because my ratios are all ideal and my Dad always had low CHO as well as lots of heart disease and my Moms has always been high and no heart issues. They are 85. My main goal is to keep insulin levels low so that is why I eat the way I do. I think you eat a few more carbs than me but I also think given you are not a woman and most likely have more muscle than me you can eat it without issue. It would be interesting to see if you are effected by protein. Do you eat large quantities? I keep my daily total to around 4-5 ounces a day split between L and D. I can eat extra occasionally but it does seem as I then 'store' it and BG will go higher until I deplete some glycogen. How much insulin do you take at meals and the extra bolus at around 11? I also find a small glass of scotch or a glass of red wine with dinner helps. Funny thing is a you mentioned waking up later and being higher happened to me today. I woke up an hour later and fasting was 20 pts higher. I ate the same guac BF and came down then up again 3 hours later. I could not eat yogurt for BF because dairy makes me insulin resistant. I wish I could. [/QUOTE]
