[QUOTE="Annb, post: 2118636, member: 25851"] Breakfast about 0930 today because I had to go for a blood test in Stornoway. Didn't want to leave it too long and possibly drop down to illegal levels (have done that before) although I thought it very unlikely. Anyway - tea and pills, 2 more of the frittatas from last night and some more of the salad. Lunch - some slices of gruyere cheese and more tea. Dinner will be chicken and vegetables from the freezer. I was amazed today - I had asked one of the doctors in our Group Practice to organise a c-peptide test for me and finally was told that it was back but I couldn't be told the result without talking to a doctor. I arranged for one of the GPs to call me this afternoon with the result, which she did. C-peptide was in the normal range so I am producing insulin but the amount of insulin in my blood was, she considered, high. She reckons I am insulin resistant, which is what I had thought but - here is the amazing thing - she suggested that I go low carb to try to bring BG down and then reduce insulin! I told her that I have been doing that for over a year with little result but I also told her that I am looking at intermittent fasting and have been trying that for the last few days. She was very encouraging and said I should keep going but to be aware that I could go into a hypo. It's the first time I've spoken to her about diabetes and all the rest of the GPs and nurses seem to be very anti low carbing. I shall be going to see her in future. Also just got my appointment letter for the diabetes clinic - the end of October. I am supposed to see them every 6 months and the last time was in January. I was about to contact them and ask what was going on but I'll leave it and get on with the IF and see what happens. Next week is going to be a bit of a test - Gdaughter is 7 next Wednesday and instead of a birthday party she has asked to come to me and make her own birthday cake and some cupcakes to take to school. Lots of sugary stuff around. Not that I actually like sugar, but sometimes it is a temptation. I do like cake though. [/QUOTE]
