[QUOTE="Japes, post: 1875636, member: 277410"] I have a theory my diabetes is a mix of little known about hereditary stuff (the parent with unknown paternal ancestry is Type 1) and some ill-health of my own which we could never get to the bottom of about 15 years ago - a constant low-grade infection which wouldn't clear up and which seemed to solve itself eventually after about 2 years. Never quite ill enough, but constantly not up to par either. Because, other than that, as one charming doctor put it some years after that when I was at my heaviest, during my "New to Surgery" check as he was desperate to find something wrong with me to convince me to lose weight and failed completely "You have no right to be as blatantly healthy as you are." I'm also somewhat suspicious about the role of grainy carbs, especially gluten, in my diet as I definitely feel far healthier on lower carbs/gluten free days, but am dutifully eating some because I'm pretty sure I'm gluten intolerant at the very least. However, having cut glutens and all grains out in my LCHF Type 2 days, when I was re-diagnosed with LADA, the coeliac tests came back negative as I hadn't realised you needed to be glutened up for the 3 months prior to testing. Keeps the dieticians happier if I do eat those kinds of carbs, (I think they were more hysterical about my low carb ways than my 5.4 ketones) but having been right all along the way so far about my diabetes, I will be intolerably smug if I'm right again!
