GP appt - need advice please

Hi Melgar
I’m aware the post to Maggie 75 was in December. I was just scrolling through and found your posts.
I didn’t know about the insulin resistance as my BGs are highest in the morning fasting 7 -9 and drop to sometimes 4.9 in the afternoon. You are absolutely right I can have whole meal toast or shreddies with raisins (for the iron) as I’m prone to anaemia and it drops my mid afternoon.
Is there any more information I can get to explain more about IR? My Hba1c has been 53 for years.

Thanks for the tag @KennyA .
Hi @BBGRAMMY , in D2 insulin sensitivity is often reduced in the morning compared to the afternoon. Oddly, I’m less sensitive in the afternoon. I have dug out a paper that covers insulin sensitivity and how it relates your circadian rhythms.

Thank you Melgar and KennyA
I shall look at Dr Cavans book and reviews.
This is really helpful. Thanks to Maggie 75 for her thread otherwise I wouldn’t have got the information!

Huge bonus to have dsn that get on well with especially if they are compassionate & understanding. hopefully when next see them will be the same one have appt with.

@grantg you are so right.
To find a dsn who you are comfortable with is worth its weight in gold.
