@AndBreathe Thank you so much. This is all really god to know. Interestingly, after eating sugary foods, I need the bathroom more often than days where I avoid eating sugar / high carb foods. My baseline tends to be just under 6 (5.5 - 5.9 ish) but it of course goes up and down throughout the...

Thank you so much. I'll ask the doctor next week about the c peptide and am curious what her thoughts are on all of this.

Hi EllieM, thank you so much for this. I'd never even heard of T3c, that's so very helpful. I'll definitely mention this to my endocrinologist when I see her. I really hope there's nothing to it, but feel it needs investigating because something is definitely off and I'm bloating like I'm in my...

Thank you so much for this. I've recently had an abdominal ultrasound, MRI and MRCP and they said my pancreas looks ok on those. Lipase and amylase are both fine. I'm not sure if there are other scans / tests that would be good to request for the pancreas specifically (CT scan? Other pancreas...

Hi Jaylee, I hope the L2 works well for you in that case (sounds like it does?). I do *not* have anything to compare my Dexcom G7 readings to. I don't do finger prick tests.

The readings did appear very consistent with my sugar / carbs intake - but I don't have anything to compare it to, so in that sense, I can't say for sure. I hope the G6 is good and easy to "install" for you, after you couldn't get the Libre 2 anymore :-(

Thank you Jaylee. It was indeed a Dexcom G7 :-)

Thank you. It was a Dexcom G7 monitor. I'd love it if this wasn't diabetes related at all and at the same time can't help but wonder: 1) I have PCOS, which is often linked to insulin resistance. 2) I had hyperparathyroidism (overactive calcium glands) for ages, 10 years at least and more likely...

Hi everyone, I’m in London, England. 45 years old and female. My most recent bloods showed fasting glucose as 6.0 mmol/L (range 4.1 - 5.9). My HbA1c, which was measured early May this year, was at 38 / 5.7%. HbA1c was not measured again early August. Based on my elevated glucose of 6.0 early...
