[QUOTE="Sulasailor, post: 2376648, member: 328933"] I have been very fortunate to be supported by my old regiment’s benevolence funds in being supplied with sensors for freestyle Libre 2 constant glucose monitoring . This has been a great help in getting to grips with my diabetes after pancreatic surgery. I think that the lessons that I learnt in dealing with type two diabetes still apply in that the principle effects and dangers of diabetes com from hyper insulinemia . There is no doubting in my mind that a diet high in carbohydrates was the route cause of my of Metabolic Syndrome and Cardiac Heart disease that manifested itself as unstable angina. By adopting a very low carbohydrate diet all these effects improved, over five years I lost significant weight and felt healthy with the added benefit of dropping my drugs load to hurt carrying a spray of isosorbide mononitrate I never used. Somehow, the big question, I have to work out if my pancreas is producing any effective insulin, eventually I hope to see my endocrinologist and maybe a Kraft assey might show just what is happening, I suspect from my constant monitoring that my pancreas is producing some insulin, particularly as my cancer was in the foot of the pancreas where digestive enzymes are produced so just maybe the tail still works producing insulin. Despite considerable dietary pressure from professionals to consume more carbohydrates to help me recover it all feels totally wrong to me as it leads to greater use of insulin injections and therefore the prime cause of illness associated with producing too much insulin. I am minded to follow my instincts and hard won habits over 5 years to control diabetes by diet. The fact that malnourishment whilst my pancreas was not producing digestive enzymes has led to me losing weight to the extend I am for the first time after in 51 years I weigh the same that I was at 21. The management of all this with unknown variables seems in the end to come down to myself and how I feel. The medical profession are stymied by Public Health England’s dietary guidelines, a policy which are lethal in my mind to diabetics.
