Yes, my c-peptide was below normal range. So, I do not have insulin excess issue. In fact, it could mean that my body is very insulin sensitive, hence normal blood glucose (4.5) with c-peptide a bit below normal range. I do not know what is the cause but almost always, I can feel the glucose...

True. I find that my body feels weird when I go above 6. A headache, tiredness, some sweating and pain in inner right ear (haha). To be fair, it also seems to me that HbA1c has many deviations such as blood cell life span to make it uniformly reliable. For instance, it told me my avg blood...

Wow this was so informative. My other doctor, a family friend, argued that you should eat so that your glucose is never above 7.8, no matter what. If food causes you to go there, you get rid of that food. So glad I listened. My HbA1c reduced from 4.9 to 4.6 from last December as well, so I think...

Yes, but from what I researched, it seems like CGMs has shown people never exceeding https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2769652/ In addition, I failed glucose tolerance test, but it was taken while on low carb diet, so it might be an invalid measurement. I am just wondering what is...

I have had problems with tolerating carbs for a while, which results in BG spikes that I do not like. I was tested by an endo for diabetes and discharged as not having it. I was eating low carb diet for a few months and asked my GP to see if anything changed with my average glucose because I...

I might have found a doc who takes me seriously and at least ordered another Hba1c after 6 months of the last one. I did not spout to her about genetics stuff though because she seemed uncomfortable when I explained everything and was told 'I know more than her on this matter'...

The problem is that the genotype is present in 30% of Caucasians. But 30% are not diabetic.

Hello, there is a service called Promethease where people can upload their raw DNA data from 23andme, etc. It will connect it with a database of research studies and identify possible risks. I have been having various kinds of symptoms such as failing OGTT but being antibody negative for type...

My c-peptide is a bit below range, for your information.

Hello, I came here to this forum puzzled because of my case. Around 4-5 months ago, I have noticed that my body started to experience diabetes-like symptoms: sweet taste in my mouth, headaches and more frequent urination. I went to a doctor who checked my fasting and Hba1c that were normal...

Yes, another factor to consider is that digital monitors for blood pressure somewhat regularly shown higher than normal blood pressure. I am not sure how it works. For the past two weeks, I ate usual meals and never had issues. I did a couple of measures during the week staying around 5.5 after...

Seem to have similar issue. This morning it did repeat, and I was not training.

Hi friends, I posted before about suspicions of my disregulated blood glucose. I was working on getting a diagnosis, which resulted in antibodies being negative. Another endo did some tests and that resulted in normal levels. After this, and reassurances it is not diabetes, I was working on...

Hey Emily, thanks for reassurance, it really helps. I will try to divert my attention to something else.

Any other ideas? Could it be type 1 without antibodies?
