I'm not a newbie - type 2, diagnosed in 2015. My hba1c was 62 on diagnosis. Through keto I promptly got it down to 39 over the next 6 months. I used the Abbott libre for the first few years. But recently I started the libre again and was horrified at my glucose levels. Even when strict keto I rarely get below 7-9. And if I have even 1 cheat day it takes a week to get back to the not very good levels I described.
I have chronic fatigue syndrome so it's difficult to up the exercise much though I try.
Was wondering if I should try medication. It was far easier after diagnosis..
I think your post might be better placed as a thread of its own than on this thread, as your issue is a different one from the questions in this thread.
