[QUOTE="jessica1612, post: 1837470, member: 296549"] I am really struggling with my blood sugar levels. I managed to bring my HBA1C level down from 147 mmol to 42 in 6 months when first diagnosed, with LCHF alone & no meds. I am eating the same LCHF & between 20 /30 g of carbs a day. I fast all day & just eat between 5 and 8pm. My last HBA1c was 72 . I test my blood several times a day & I know it will be higher than that next time. My morning level is around 15mmol and it only drops to around 12 by 5PM. Then obviously it goes back up when I eat . I am now on 4x metformin a day and 2x gliclazide but it makes no difference, the sugar levels are still the same after 2 weeks of taking meds. Last time I saw the GP I asked to be referred to a specialist but he said no. I am considering paying for private blood tests. How can I find out if I am producing any insulin at all? I am getting desperate , maybe I should go for a pizza & then straight to A&E I am sure I would be in the 30's!! Any advice greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
