[QUOTE="iwilltouchyourcat, post: 2516070, member: 553162"] Thanks so much for the reply! Very good suggestions. My friend who is type 1 actually suggested starting on a morning insulin dose too, and I think that’s what will be needed sooner rather than later. but consultant wants to recheck my c peptide levels first as they showed I was producing a good amount of insulin but she suspected it was just a good day and my insulin production is more erratic than the test result suggested. She also asked me to do a non fasting blood test as she said my fasting might have affected the results? I definitely have DP and foot on the floor. At the moment low carb and low cal diet is keeping me in a better zone but it’s always higher in the mornings (8-10) and then back to ‘normal’ by midday ish (5-7) but I have been experiencing some hypos overnight too from restricted cals. However, If I eat a ‘normal’ amount (around 1500 cals as I’m still losing weight to bring my bmi out of overweight range) it shoots up as soon as I wake up. So I’m doing okish with 1000 cals a day and low carb but that’s not sustainable forever - I’ll run out of weight to lose-and is really just delaying the inevitable anyway. She supported me reducing the gliclazide and I just take 80mg in the morning for now but again she said that I will be on insulin one way or another. I’ve also noticed that stress really does a number on my blood sugar too- my elderly cat has been very ill and repeated vet visits and seeing him suffer is really stressing me out and my morning numbers have been higher as a result. Thanks for the link that’s really interesting. I’m doing okay with the vegan low carb (it’s not really keto as I average around 40 -50 carbs per day) as I’m an inventive cook and love veg. I’ve also discovered 100% cocoa chocolate and 10cal sugar free jelly which helps with the sweet tooth but lawd do I miss proper bread [emoji23] I have coeliac too so I’m used to having to omit a lot of foods.
