[Diabetes] General Chat and Support Thread

gerrybbadd · 04-02-2019 1:29pm

Was chatting with Boots earlier, and they tell me that the Libre Metre sensors can now be got on LTI.

Rang my local pharmist, who confirmed this. They tell me I'd need to get a letter from my "local health board" (i assume the diabetes clinic), linking my LTI book to the sensor requirement, and that's pretty much it.

I've gone on a diet with the missus lately. I'm just headed into week 3, but the hypos are killing me. Just recovering here from the 17th hypo in 3 weeks. I don't think i've had 17 hypos TOTAL prior to this feckin diet!

CramCycle · 04-02-2019 1:35pm

I could be wrong but what I think they need you to do is get a script and send this in with your LTI book to the local health board and get them to stamp it. Sometimes your clinic will do this for you, mine always does but my old clinic would just hand me the script and tell me to send it in to be updated.

Great news if accurate!
Price wise a month of libre is @ the same as my current one touch verio and it offers much better scope for controlling and reviewing BG levels.

Children and young adults on multiple insulin injections daily can get Libre on LTI. It isn't the same process as for other items on the book.
ONLY a consultant endocrinologist can apply to the HSE for the approval. If it is approved the pharmacist can check your LTI number to see the approval and can then supply up to 2 packs every 4 weeks.

That's the situation as I understood it too.
Based on the HSE circular from last year.
I was hoping that a new circular had issued but I can't find anything since the 2017/01 circular confirming multiple injecting diabetics from 4y.o to 21y.o.
Here's hoping that it will be made available to all insulin users soon, as even on price grounds alone if someone is using 2 or more strips a day it would be quite cost effective.
Particularly if it allows a reduction in concurrent insulin use.

gerrybbadd · 04-02-2019 3:45pm

Spoke with the Diabetes team in Sligo there and they told me I was given some bad info from the pharmacy.

They do prescribe the sensors for those over 21, but only in cases of people that had strokes or retinal damage through diabetes, where they find it hard or impossible to test the regular way.

Oh well!

Stem cells have been transformed into insulin producing cells.
This may lead to insulin independence for T1 sufferers.
Amazing potential.

Back at the Eye and Ear for my checkup today. It is the first time in 7 years that I have had 3 consecutive "stable" outcomes , i.e. I did not need laser etc.

This has to be a combination of their treatment / Noctura 400 glasses / Coming off insulin / Blood Pressure and Cholesterol tablets.

Hopefully one day they will find a cure for this particular eye problem.

banie01 · 11-02-2019 1:23pm

Great news Ebbsy!
Well done on keeping control!
Delighted for you and it gives people like me who are on the threshold of retinopathy taking hold a lot of hope!

kylith · 11-02-2019 2:12pm

Hi folks. I don’t have diabetes myself, though it rubs in my family. Consequently I had gestational diabetes. I have a tub of test strips for an AccuCheck machine left. They didn’t fit the machine I had and have been opened but are free for the taking if they’d be any good to anyone. They’re not cheap so I’d hate them to go to waste

Pm me if you’d want them.

banie01 · 13-02-2019 10:21pm

I've decided to make a serious effort with the Newcastle Diet/MRP type diet.
I'm only 4 days in and coming from what I thought was good control.
My AVG HbA1c over the last 2 years is @6.5, but!
Already the difference in my blood sugar is noticeable!
I've already had to drop 8 units on my Lantus dosing.
Will keep a good eye on how it goes.
My aim is to get off Lantus for the foreseeable if I can and push out the clock on the incipient retinopathy.

Fair play - it takes some dedication.

My wife is gone on this diet with a personal trainer, and has roped me into it.

I had to drop 8 units off my tresiba because i kept having hypos. And now, I can have a small amount of carbs, and not need novorapid for it. Up until yesterday, i hadn't taken (or needed) novorapid. I'm down about 9 pounds, 4 weeks in

My GP is very curious to see how it goes for me and truth be told, I need something to focus on at the moment. Something I can actually influence at the very least.

I'm adding a little psyllium husk to the MRP shakes and I've yet to encounter any real hunger pangs or similar.
2 shakes and some green veg and carrots is my plan at the moment.
It is a hard slog, but even from the difference I've noticed to date it could be a huge moneysaver for the HSE if it was properly supported.

The potential reduction in meds, and other interventions and supports needed due to nueropathy, retinopathy, heart disease, stroke and so on that are often a co-morbidity of diabetes are surely worth at least a review by the powers that decide the HSE strategy.

silverharp · 15-02-2019 10:38am

Out of curiosity I was checking a couple of foods I would normally restrict, the other day I had 2 or 3 apples and measured 30 min after and got a reading of 6 mmol/l thought that was reasonable. Last night I ate 2 punnets of grapes and 30 min I got a measure of 16 mmol/l yikes! after 2 hours it had dropped to 6 , obviously the quantities weren’t the same. Some time I will try to measure out how many apples would give the same quantity of sugar and try again but it seems like it wouldn’t hit that level.

MrMacPhisto · 15-02-2019 11:10am

Some good info here

I follow Dr. Unwin on twitter, he posts lots of good information.

wakka12 · 15-02-2019 11:38am

I wonder why it is isnt more well known that bananas are so sugary. I would have sometimes in the past eaten a banana even when I wasnt particularly hungry just to get another one of my 5 a day, but it likely did more harm than good

silverharp · 15-02-2019 11:39am

Same here, a good guy will even respond to questions, ive seen that chart before it’s a good visual. I never really got into the nitty gritty of counting carbs or sugar but I had had a look on the Tesco website to get the basic nutritional info and apples and grapes “seemed” similar enough in sugar terms per 100g though I checked against Pink Lady, whereas his chart has grapes having twice the sugar of apples.

fruit is overrated relative to veg, the "5 a day " makes them sound interchangeable , I don't go out of the way to even bother have fruit in my diet, frozen berries are my treat and I go through phases of having drinks made with fresh limes and lemons.

Pretty well known in sporting circles as its one of the fruits of choice for cyclists in races.

Well the 5 a day thing is rubbish, and only a marketing campaign, realistically should be closer to 10 a day, but also more weighted towards veg than fruit.

I wouldn’t want to feel pressured to hit a particular number, the main benefit as a nutritional guideline is that if people are eating more veg they are likely to be eating less garbage. To hit 10 portions I’d need to be juicing vast quantities of spinach n’ stuff. Plenty of cultures wouldn’t have or have had access to lots of year round vegetable type foods and are or were in good health however if more broccoli means less pizza then sure

True, and what a portion is also misleading as you can't say 1 sort of fruit is the same as one of another fruit or veg. I pay no heed ot it in general, just eat a balanced diet my point was that the 5 a day was a marketing campaign which had no basis in studies, just simply that they thought it would be easier to market.

No, they said 5 because it was somewhat doable, they knew their was no chance of people hitting the real number without a little ice breaking first.

I did it about 4 years ago, without help. lost about 4 stone, with the intention of reversing my type 2. after about 3 months blood sugar was between 4-6, with meds, went off the meds and the sugars went up, slowly lost interest and put on the weight again.

Since November, have just cut out rubbish from my diet, plus plenty of walking and have lost over 2 stone so far. If I hit a bottle neck I will go back on the newcastle diet. My goal is to get the weight down to normal, already have reversed NAFLD down to half what it was in November.

P.S. You will hit a wall early on with the Newcastle diet, feel cold and hungry, but it wears off in a few days. stick at it and set realistic goals that will make you feel that you have achieved. sounds like you are on the right road.

silverharp · 16-02-2019 8:27am

ive been doing intermittent fasting this week , tested by blood sugar last night and got a 4.2 which is the lowest reading ever. i wont shade the newcastle diet but i guess its something you need to transition out of for the long term, some kind of fasting is a great long term tool

banie01 · 16-02-2019 2:48pm

I'm @5days in to the Newcastle diet and as Royal Legend has said a little bit of a wall is here.
Saturday is the usual "treat" day round here and my stomach is starting to miss solid food.
My motivation for continuing with it has only been heightened by taking a look at the improvement in BG average in just 4 days!

1st pic is BG average from the 6/2/19 to the 12/2/19.
2nd pic is BG average from the 12/2/19 to the 16/2/19

Now while the improvement in BG is always good, what I'm happier about however is the fact that my Lantus basal does so far from @32units to 20units and likely to drop even further.

Royal Legend · 16-02-2019 5:30pm

It is a wall, but when you get past it, it becomes easier

I am not on Newcastle at the moment, but as I said if i think i need it to push on with my weight loss, then i will use it because i know it works for me.

I have lost a couple of stone since November, by cutting out rubbish, biscuits, cake and watching what i eat and when in general. for snacks now, i eat oranges and cashews, more green veg with dinner

My motivation is losing weight, just walked 10k this morning, also to reduce NAFLD (Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver disease) when tested in November i was in the danger zone, when i was checked again a couple of weeks ago my scarring was back below the red and this was solely due to losing weight. Consultant said to keep doing what i was doing and come back in a year.

So my goals are simpler now, lose weight, get fitter, get healthier, hopefully one of the additional benefits will be to get my blood readings down.

P.S I was up around 19/20 stone last year, back below 17 at present, want to get around 13 which is normal for my height, not trying to rush it, just to keep doing what i am doing and gradually lose it over the year.

Morby · 17-02-2019 5:58pm

Just in relation to the Newcastle Diet, I presume this is the 3 VLVD shakes a day diet, similar to th Cambridge diet etc?

Where are you getting this administered?

My friend is a T2 Diabetic and morbidly obese and isn't managing his blood sugar levels at all. Most recent HbA1c was 90.

He hasn't been able to stick to any diets or lose weight. I'm thinking he would need something drastic like this as he's over 60 now and not getting any younger.

Whereabouts would he get this from? His GP? Is it expensive or would a medial card cove any portion of costs? He has the LTI book.

I'm being supported by my GP and Diabetes in undertaking the Newcastle Diet.
Now when I say supported, I mean my GP weighed me and gave me a check up before starting. My Diabetes team are at the end of the phone to discuss BG, insulin and any issues with.
Other than that it's a solo trek.
That said, I'm paying for the MRP shakes out of pocket.

If your friend hasn't been able to stick to diets or an eating plan, this diet isn't the one for him.
It requires a lot of self control and discipline.
Noone can force him to do it, nor enforce him following it.

CramCycle · 17-02-2019 7:07pm

I've done similar diets, although not as extreme, if you have low will power, my impression is you'll struggle. It is a catch 22 for some obese people is that the obesity itself affects hormone levels which can mean the response to such a shock in the diet is too much to take in regards will power. I am not obese but it took over a week before the addict cravings ceased and for me they come back very quickly if I slip. This said I am from a family of addicts on one side so I maybe more predisposed.

silverharp · 17-02-2019 8:49pm

sometimes radical can be good and can excite the person. the main problem with the ND is that as its essentially a very low calorie low fat diet its going to drag down the body's basal metabolic rate, in some way then its going to have to be a diet for life with the disadvantage that if your average calorie maintenance might have been x, now your future rate is going to be x -200 calories so it will be easier to put on weight in the future. Another issue is satiety , if I was a betting man I'd bet against any diet where you are constantly hungry.

Is the fact hes going to die very young not motivational enough? I dont know what could possibly persuade him more.I actually think a more subtle and manageable diet might suit him more as he obviously doesnt care enough about his well being to make even minor changes to his lifestyle. But really theres no magic diet, no amount of silly fad diets or reducing/maxing certain food groups to silly ratios is going to replace what needs to be a balanced unprocessed whole food low GI diet. He just has to want to change to a healthier lifestyle

CramCycle · 18-02-2019 11:09am

You have to realise that for some people it is a strong addiction, for many people at that size your bodys immune system is a mess, your hormone production is way off, in many cases certain changes are almost irreversible, so that is why diets that only go on for a few weeks never work because your body has gone so far it can't come back and will slip back eventually.

Also there is the addict side of this. Ever heard of an alcoholic or a heroin addict who doesn't care if there next drink/hit will kill them, it is not much different for some people with weight problems, the cravings can be incredible.

Buford T. Justice XIX · 19-02-2019 2:54pm

I got a letter in the post this morning from Animas telling me my pump is now out of warranty, instead of next September, and I need to move over to a new maker as as replacement pumps I might require from breakages or anything else will not be supplies by Animas.

So just heading to the busiest time of the year, I'll have to take time off to attend an introduction course and possibly more as there was 2 days of a course when starting with Animas.

Week 1 of the Newcastle Diet completed yesterday.
My average BG over the week has reduced by @8%.
Currently down from 6.5 to 6.0
My basal Lantus dose has already reduced from 32units to 14units!
That's about a 60% improvement in insulin reliance inside of a week!

I've not weighed myself, as to be quite honest tracking weight loss is not a major part of this for me.
I did weigh myself at the start, and I will at the finish but in the interim my main focus is going to be BG levels and insulin use as a measure of any success.

Well done! I'm excited to see how this goes for you. Have you had any hypos?

My wife has me on a diet with her now at the minute, i've had a lot of hypos on it. However, i'm finding i'm losing a lot of weight. There are days I don't need novorapid - at all! And my tresiba has reduced from 64 units to 56.

Started out weighing in at 13 stone 7 pounds. I'm 12 stone 10 pounds as of this morning.

Well done on your own inprovements to date!
That's a big difference!

No hypos and lowest read to date is 4.2.
I'm fairly hypo aware too so hopefully if I have had any I'd have realized.

I started out at 110kg, but I have the added benefit of being 6'5"

and still carrying a fair deal of muscle albeit with an incipient paunch and middle aged spread.

I'll keep the thread updated on a weekly basis with some BG screenshot averages and any other related things.

banie01 · 25-02-2019 9:16am

2 weeks in to the Newcastle Diet and I'm still persevering.

Today is my 1st day in 3 years without a basal insulin dose!
Over the course of 2 weeks my basal has reduced from a steady 32 units of Lantus, to yesterday's being none!

At my peak my basal was 60units and I'd always worked hard to keep it low as the side effects of too much insulin with weight gain and so on aren't great for any co-morbidity.

I weighed myself this morning too so as I can share an indication of how that's going.

I'm down @5kg since starting so @4%, but weight isn't a factor for me in this.
My aim is to reduce my insulin dependence and improve my overall insulin response and health and to date, I'm very surprised and bloody delighted too!

CramCycle · 25-02-2019 2:12pm

banie01 · 26-02-2019 4:00pm

Thanks for the encouragement folks.

The latest models/theories of Diabetes diagnosis and treatment are to my mind pointing more and more towards a spectrum of diabetes with particular regard to Type 2 and Insulin resistance.

In my own case, I was diagnosed as T2 at 26 while very fit and active. Was dignosed by fluke really.
Treated as such for 10yrs before a change of Endo led to a discussion of LADA and a type 1.5 diagnosis and the start of a basal insulin dose for the last 3 years.

It is a combination of impending middle age, reliance on more and more insulin for maintenance of control rather than improving it that have led me to wanting to actually drive a change.

The onset of early diabetes complications in particular retinopathy all led to me deciding that rather than just carry on with the status quo, that I'd give the NC diet a try.

It's still early days and I have @ 6weeks to go before I'm done but I'm very pleased with the progress to date.

Today was my 2nd day with no basal insulin.
Prior to starting this diet my usual regime would be 32units Lantus at night and a morning BG of @7.5.

This morning, with no Basal my morning BG was 5.8!

There is definitely some potential improvement to be gained and hopefully maintained.

banie01 · 04-03-2019 10:22am

Week 3 of the Newcastle Diet finished

My morning BG has increased slightly since coming off insulin but it is still well below my usual trigger to raise the basal.

My usual protocol for changing my Basal is if my morning BG is above 7, I increase my Basal and if its below 6.5 I decrease it.
I have had one morning since stopping my Basal(after tapering it over the previous 2 weeks) where my BG was 7.2, but I did not add back in a Basal dose in the hope it was a one off which it appears to be.

So on the screenshot below, my Week 3 average BG has increased slightly but to my mind this is more than offset by the elimination of my insulin need so far.
On the weight front, I have dropped a total of 7kgs to date. A loss of @6%; overall to date.
The cravings have for the most part passed and apart from a slip last week where I inhaled a sandwich (That seriously threw out my BG too) I've been coping quite well.
