[QUOTE="Mrs HJG, post: 2514753, member: 552087"] I have recently been diagnosed with LADA but not (yet) on insulin as still producing plenty myself, and it blew me out of the water, triggered by an extra lockdown stone or possible vaccine over-reaction, no-one knows. I am on low carb, usually less than 25g per meal, and sometimes a lot less, ie. chicken salad, but finally not lost any weight this week for the first time after making a concerted effort to eat more. I have gone from 12 to 8st in the last 12 months, my clothes, size 16 to 10, and my skin no longer fits! I feel your skinny pain. Full fat Babybels and 2 slices of Livlife low carb bread and peanut butter at lunch (plus the usual salad) have been the changes this week, and my blood glucose checking has remained the same. I remember feeling hungry when I started, but now I am way more active and really don't ever get hungry, more just wishing I could have a biscuit or 2 with a cup of tea in the afternoon. I think your body just gets used to the difference, but your brain takes a bit longer to catch up. I snack on 15g of almonds or pumpkin seeds if the time until lunch or dinner seems an eternity away. It's all a bit :wacky: eh?! [/QUOTE]
