[QUOTE="iwilltouchyourcat, post: 2515751, member: 553162"] Thank you for your thoughtful reply! I have had a gad test an cpep- I had high antibodies in gad results but c pep showed decent insulin production so consultant thinks repeat is indicated to check whether my pancreas is erratically producing insulin and caught it in a good day. This will inform next steps ie whether I start insulin now or watch and wait. But morning highs very much present despite doing IF and unless I severely restrict my cals / carbs so likely I’ll need insulin sooner rather than later they think. I already have a cgm and am not scared of needles (tattooed nurse!) so starting insulin doesn’t freak me out too much. I just wanted to know what I’m dealing with and I’ve got some answers now. I have coeliac disease too which was their first indication that it could be autoimmune vs type 2. I got admitted with dka in feb which started this whole process off. Low carb works for me although I’m also vegan ( by choice ) which complicates things but I’m working from home at the moment so have the time to meal prep. I’ve also lost a lot of my excess weight which is good for my general health. My username is tribute to my two kitties and the fact that I am generally cat obsessed. I WILL touch your cat!
