Signature

Low carb/low GI and exercise controlled for about 20 years. Inherited diabetes not from overweight.
Metformin 500mg once a day at my request in May 2021 because it was taking up to 7 hours for bs to go down to <6 before eating lunch and it is now down in 4-5 hours . Fasting bs is now in the 7's and I remain pretty keto with my diet. GP has me down as Impaired Glucose Intolerance!! Update -
June ’23 – 6.3- 45
Jan ’24 -6.4 - 46 It hovers around this - up and down.
