36.5 / 5.5% consistent for last 6 months

I am on diet + 1x500mg metformin. Majorly HbA1c and PPG improvement was noticed with weight loss 23lbs in 4 months.

@Mr_Pot that's exactly what logic would dictate [emoji106]

I only have some numbness, it started with numbness in the V between the big toe and 2nd but now fingers 2-3 feel slightly numb and some area above the V. My HbA1c improvement has reduced the intermittent mild burning in the feet. I have never had any pain, just numbness that worries me, just...

**** autocorrect targetting my kidneys instead of my feet. It was meant to be neuropathy.

Can neuropathy progress despite good BG control and normal HbA1c?

500mg 1xday, I can feel a lot of numbness in the limbs upon slightest pressure sleeping, sitting, resting hands or feet against any surface. Especially in the last finger of my hands. Seems like metformin is giving rise to b12 deficiency / absorption, Neurobion helps. Diet is moderate card -...

I really do not count my carbs but I am off bread, rice, sugar, potatoes etc. I go with veggies, meat, chicken, eggs in my meals. I have added cheese and cream to my diet, earlier I used to be scared to cholesterol going higher (typical). My Trigs and HDL has certainly improved marginally...

Hi, After 3 months of reducing carbs (moderate carb) and adding fats (not high fat), I have seen that my Total Cholesterol and LDL has gone up slightky, should the numbers below be if any concern? And yes HBa1c down from 54 to 40 Total Cholesterol. 5.32 / 205.9 Triglycerides 1.03...

I would check 3 hours later too, I spike with low carb seeded bread sometime after 2 hours, my 3 hour readings after a low carb slice is higher then 2 hours. That not the case with other carbs, everyone is different so maybe it's just me. Better to rule out delayed spikes.

If someone returns to normal range in 2 hours, despite the interim spike, would that not be considered normal person's body response to clearing carbs /glucose from blood within 2 hours?

Thanks Guys, so this also may imply following; A) Insulin resistance is somewhat relative to the nature of the food / meal and not the carb content or GI or GL B) Intensity of Insulin resistance cannot be determined by spike with a carb content in a similar GI food. C) Ditto as A&B for...

Hi, It comes to my information from someone diabetic (no meds only diet)that his 2 hour readings with rice (approx 30 carbs/ 100gm/ 1 cup) is pretty much in normal range whereas with a slice of multigrain Bread it would be around Pre-diabetic range. Would it be an unnoticed early /late spike...

Skipped breakfast, 2 hrs later I was at 6.7, so the eggs, cheese and tea have the minimal effect as I guessed. It's the time of the day Liver Dumps . One more thing I am itching to try is easy around 10-15 carbs for breakfast, a brown toast or tortilla or Oats to check if liver dump is due to...

Same meal same time - I skipped the sweet-n-low today - started at 5.9 and 2 hours later was at 7.4, has to be the time of the day / liver dumps.
