[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2570183, member: 85785"] It is typical of T2 in most aspects of your graph. however the spike after eating at 12pm is a long hour plus to reach up. And the low is between two hours till 8pm when your bg soars up and keeps going.... 5 times you went below 4mmols. Wether that is the cgm or did you verify the readings? It does seem your body does respond to a low reading, probably from glucogenisis, which is your glucose stores from your liver, helps you prevent hypoglycaemia. off the top of my head, could you test the cgm. To see if it is at the correct settings? If those results are true, I would definitely bin a lot of carbs. I would also like to see how your cgm records a fast, if you can? The reason is to see where your continuous fasting level would be if you don't eat for a morning say. I can't comment on a GD diet. Having no experience as I'm a fella, however the fact that it mentions healthy carbs puts me off completely. In my experience and what so called healthy carbs did to me. I would look at a very low carb dietary regime. The wholemeal bread is defo off my list. I would be very ill! A carb is a carb and your body will thank you, if you can maintain blood glucose levels control in or around normal levels. it will also prevent you needing more meds other than the metformin. Bottom line you need tests, your readings say you are glucose intolerant/ carb intolerant, and it is affecting your heslth, if the tests say something more, then the endocrinologist will use more tests to get a true diagnosis. If he suggests an OGTT, ask if can be an extended test over five hours to show the lows of hypos! A two hours OGTT according to your cgm is not going to show the drops. A mixed meal test may be used. Make sure you get a c-peptide and GAD test. And your insulin levels test during the OGTT test or especially after eating fasting tests. Insulin tests are really important, because of your graphs. It is a lot to take in and you should be prepared for your endocrinologist appointment. Knowledge is important, especially for someone like me, who has a rare condition, and only finding a true treatment to my condition in here. I don't believe you have a Hypoglycaemic condition. But you never know! A carb is a carb, and it is how your body responds to something that causes symptoms and makes you feel awful. Best wishes, keep asking. [/QUOTE]
