[QUOTE="Rhys., post: 2353873, member: 523677"] Morning mate, I would guess, that you tested positive for 2 or more antibodies when they took your bloods a few months ago. The most common is Anti-GAD mixed with either IA-2, Zinc and a few more. Mine were GAD and IA2. Recently, I only had GAD antibodies in November, but my IA-2 came back negative on a more recent test I had done, which left me still a bit confused... I usually wake up between 5 and 6.5 buddy. I do often see spikes to 12 after large meals, but it's down to within range within 2 hours of EVERY meal. Some meals, it won't go above let's say 7, which is normal. My theory of this, is that the Autoimmune attack that I had, has eliminated some BETA cell mass, which is why I spike fairly high. You may be the same or different. I shouldn't be doing this really, but I've been eating and drinking ( even normal pepsi ) or whatever I wanted now for the past 4 - 5 months. It is putting strain on the last remaining BETA cells that are working, but at the same time, I want to live my life as I did before April last year... This will need to be a decision of yours, whether you want to eat very clean and preserve the honeymoon aslong as possible or eat as you were before and even now, but potentially cut it short. Just make sure you keep an eye on " Blood Keytones " mate. I know I keep banging on about it, but that's the early concern, once you stop taking insulin. Let us know your updates buddy. Rhys [/QUOTE]
