    Low hba1c but glucose spikes. Does it matter?

    I took in range as 3.7 - 7.8 (which I’d read before was the range for non diabetics). The report was really reassuring. I’ve been wearing a libre again (been prediabetic before and had gestational diabetes but currently non diabetic). My libre range (based on 7.8 and under) is 90% which seems...

    Really interesting, thanks. So if I’m understanding that right, most people without diabetes are “in range” 96% of time so that’s a useful metric to track alongside HBA1C?

    What does your Freestyle Libre graph look like?

    What does your Freestyle Libre graph look like?

    These are my graphs for yesterday and the day before. I’m not diabetic but had gestational diabetes but I’m really worried about how I’m feeling and wearing a libre so I can speak to my GP again…

My eating is definitely stress related, but even though I can identify it, and I know what...

    Thanks so much Mrs HJG. I do appreciate your response :) I don't have the book but will get it if it does show the technical side from a non diabetic perspective. A lot of her hacks are (from what I've seen), very similar to the Gestational Diabetes diet (high protein, high fat, low carb), move...

    Hi all. Hope you're well. Background: I've been pre-diabetic before 44.3 in 2020 but brought it down to 42.1 later that year and in 2021 I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes despite a HBAC of 37.7 because my fasting levels were crazy high right from week 6, and as my pregnancy progressed...
