Thanks @Lamont D . Surely glucose intolerance is the same as insulin resistance? https://www.diabetes.co.uk/glucose-intolerance.html You should watch this guy (I think you'll enjoy it). There's loads of great Ted Talks at "low carb down under" but this one I enjoyed the most:

This is why I wanted to know if 9.8 is too high ... Do I have insulin resistance. But thanks to everyone's replies I can see it can be normal for a non-diabetic person who has eaten loads of sugar!

I think the mechanism for Ménière's is that insulin makes the ear more permeable. So I have too much insulin (why?) and that causes my issues. Eventually it will lead to insulin resistance.

I got Ménière's about 15 years ago. You would know if you have it. Horrendous vertigo attacks which mean you can move wothoit vomiting which results in permanent tinnitus and permanent deafness. I am completely deaf in one ear. Ménière's is over diagnosed as there's also something conditions...

Thank you everyone

Thank so much.

@Lamont D thank you. I guess my only option is low carb. Sorry for the tmi but one issue I have with low carb is constipation which I can't handle. Also I don't really enjoy meat and I have a lactose intolerance. If I eat Greek yoghurt (with maybe some pear and a few oats) for breakfast I...

@Mbaker thanks. So do you think a healthy max is 7.8 for a non-diabetic person at any time? I'm really confused as it's really unclear as to whether 7.8 is absolute max or max after set amount of time.

Argh I just wrote a long reply and accidentally clicked off the page. Ok starting again. Thank you @Lamont D for your response. Test results: - over many years I have had around 8 random glucose tests and four were 3.0, a could were around 3.6 and a couple were fine. - HbA1c normal -...

No 9.8 was from the libre.

Amazing thanks. I've been researching into it a bit and I think reactive hypoglycemia can be a pre-prediabetes state. But I wasn't too concerned as my blood sugar was staying low I thought. But my libre 2 is showing highs of 9.8 it feels too high to be "normal"

Thanks ok so I need to make sure not over 11.1. My 2 random blood glucose came out as 3.0mmol/l! So something isn't right. Not insulinoma as my fasting levels are ok. I know I would not get a diagnosis I'm just trying to figure out what's going on and why I'm getting lows and questioning if...

Thanks. My 2 random blood glucose came out as 3.0mmol/l!

Hello thank you. Yes I've had the libre in for over a week now. I was wondering if it was over reading so I did a finger prick test which said 8.8 but there is a lag on the libre so I could have missed the peak by the time I was finger prick testing. Ok yes so the stay high thing is...

Hello, I'm currently wearing a libre 2 because I've been diagnosed with reactive hypoglycemia (blood sugar dipped down to 2.6 during a glucose tolerance test) but it didn't go high so I didn't get any pre/diabetes warning from my endocrinologist. I self funded a one off Libre 2 to try and...
