The cgm was not used recently. Just a finger prick monitor. I’ve come to the the conclusion that I’m probably just not catching my spikes.

My A1c was 7.5. I’ve lost more than 10 pounds in the last month and I’ve been working out yes and I’ve limited my carbs drastically. The past couple days I’ve been eating a bit more “poorly”(for lack of a better word), but it’s just me experimenting with my body(I know I shouldn’t) I’m still low...

I’m not going back to anything. I’m still under my 200g carbs per day.

Hello! A month ago I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and have managed to keep my blood glucose numbers in the range my endocrinologist and primary doctor asked me to keep them in(less than 7.2mmol/L in the morning and less than 10mmol/L after meals). A week and a half ago my endocrinologist...

So my endocrinologist had his assistant tape a CGM device on my arm yesterday, that I’m to wear for 3 days. Only thing is, it fell off after 1 day. All she said is “if it falls off put it in a plastic bag, but it won’t fall off so don’t worry.” My question is- is there any further steps I must...

Thank you guys! You’re all very helpful!

Yes! I’m on one metformin pill a day in the morning 500mg. My doctor says my numbers are good though and he’s possibly taking me off them. I normally drink beer but I’ll drink whatever is least hazardous in terms of hypoglycemia.

I’m on one metformin pill a day! I believe 500mg. I take it in the morning!

Hey guys! I’m back with a question regarding drinking. I know as a type 2 drinking can raise your BG levels but I recall reading something that mentioned it could also possibly make you hypoglycemic, without it showing on your BG machine? Can’t seem to find the article again. I guess, in short...

Hello, newly diagnosed type 2 here! I’m having trouble reducing my calorie intake as much as I’d like to, throughout the day since I have to keep eating to keep my blood glucose from dropping so much. My endocrinologist said it was dropping a normal amount for someone on metformin, but I guess...

You’re great, thanks!

Newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic here. Not sure if my fear of becoming hypoglycemic during sleep and not waking up is irrational or not. What’s a good blood glucose level to have before bed? Do you guys snack before bed to prevent this? What’s a good snack? Apologies in advance for all the...

Noticed a decrease in libido ever since being diagnosed and can’t seem to figure out if it’s caused by the Metformin or just the fact that I’m a bit sad after the diagnoses. Thoughts? Can’t seem to find a solid answer online.

Thank you, Kenny!

Do my numbers seem off? Yeah I’m 260 lbs 5’10”
