Malhotra- attempted silencing by PHE for promoting LCHF.
 
Hope you feel better soon
 

I Think it is a High number for a person eating very low carbs, how low did you go yesterday ? If you stay that High on a very low carb eating style like under 100 grams a Day , I would worry if You maybe would need added insulin , initially most type 2 produces far too much insuline but the body Will just not react probably to it, but long term type2 can end up by consistently high blood glucose destroying their pancreas and thus ending up needing insulin added in their medications, but well doing low carb for some weeks to see if that helps first
 
Good morning all.

@rhubarb73 -- Hope you'll be able to see the dentist quickly and feel better soon. Thinking of you.

Blood sugars were 5.2 after upping carbs a bit and reducing exercise yesterday in an attempt to reduce ketones. Doctor's appointment this afternoon to discuss my test results. Please, keep your fingers crossed that all results will be in range

Hugs for the toothache, have had more than my fair share, so can sympathize.
Just bringing up one point, on the off chance it relates to you. Ive had 3 years of pain/infections in the ear/nose/throat/dental area. All which I would put down to a yeast infection. Obviously high BG and yeast can go hand in hand. The mouthwash Corsodyl works on both yeast and bacteria, so might help. But the main thing is BG control. I realise its about a 1 in 50 chance this applies to you, but said I would mention it, in case it applied to others.
The other thing I have done in the past is swirl with whiskey, with mixed results. But sometimes it deadens the nerve, and gives a few hours relief.
Best of luck at the dentist.
 

Thanks - that is interesting. Does that feel or look different from regular toothache? Would I be able to tell the difference or would the dentist spot it?
Thanks for tip re Corsodyl.
 
Good luck

No difference.
Specifically, I had a tooth abscess, the tooth is healthy ( seen on Xray ), so an infection underneath. If I manage my BG strictly, usually by fasting, the pain level will drop, and things will return to normal. My dentist didnt have a clue, recommend a root canal. But the tooth is healthy (no decay ). So, for me it’s about managing the infection.
I am sure i am an outlier re yeast infections, as I have them on my body as well (feet chest etc). So more than likely, not related to your woe. So just mentioned it on the off chance.
If you have decay, then its an open and shut case.
If you have an infection, then antibiotics are the way forward.
If that doesnt work, yeast is a outside possibility.
Wish u good and quick resolution to the pain.
