It's interesting alright. I've the Libre 3 and spot checking with a finger prick is usually accurate unless I'm going high or low, then it lags behind. I've had a few false positives but that wasn't one of them. Regardless they've proscribed metformin 500mg. So hopefully that gets things in order.

This is in line with what I've been reading. The annoying thing is I exercise 4 and now 5 times a week. I walk multiple times daily every day. I do this in order to control my sugars which is why my A1C is 5.9 and not like 7. Over Christmas with less exercise and more eating I was 6.8. i told...

According to the doc I'm a type 2, no explanation as to why I'm not overweight or how I'm a type 2 without abusing sugars. Your a type 2 he said, then proscribed metformin and said that'll help with my sugar dips which dips because I exercise after I eat or walk to bring the number down.

10 months later I finally get a referral, then wait 3 months for blood work and all comes back mostly normal. These results are fasting. C-Peptide 1.48 ng/ml A1C 5.9 BG 151 GAD 65 Ab <5 IU/mL They ran a comprehensive metabolic panel all within range other than glucose. Heart rate, blood...

That's interesting you mention eating all day ahead of going to the gym. I've started doing the same. I even ate half a Snickers one day just to push my blood glucose up so I wouldn't have to stop early. Same last night right around 1am I'm right at 3.6 mmol/L spring wide awake and my BG goes...

I can almost set my alarm to when I'll wake up to pee. Drinking water before bed or not seems to have little impact. Between 2am and 4am I spring to life only to pee and return to bed. Luckily I can fall asleep quickly again. Turning on lights wakes me up too much so I navigate with the help of...

Good luck, hopefully you get some answers.

That's quite interesting. I've been reading everything I can on this and I keep stumbling across posts from other users on places like reddit about the same but most of them seem to be adjusting to using insulin. I will let you know what happens after I get a referral. Which I hope should be...

Thanks for all the responses this has been interesting and I appreciate all the valuable information and everyone sharing. I do intend to get a referral, antibody test was not performed that I can see in any of my blood work. My HbA1c has never been above 6.4, that was after a holiday and...

My weight hasn't changed in over 15 years, 160lbs to 165lbs or 11 odd stone or 74.8kg. Early 40's 5.11 and I work out every other day and still I'm a type 2.

I have to ask, I'm recently diagnosed as type 2 and was advised by my doctor not to fast. Do any of you have high blood sugars the next morning if you haven't ate in 10 or 12 hours or more? Mine go through the roof if I don't eat. I'm also lean diabetic. I was advised to eat a snack before bed...

I'm glad I'm not some kind of unicorn and there are others out there as confused as I am. I'm totally fine with a type 2 diagnosis but I find it strange and hate the thought of statistics alone being the determining factor. I'm still only a few weeks in using the Libre and trying to gather as...

I wish it was a misreading and I've had a few in the past. I don't typically sleep on my side, I usually basically die face down then spring awake at 3am like some kind of vampire. The strange thing is I don't usually feel low even when working out. If I've been low for a while then yes I get...

I'm newly diagnosed with type 2, diagnosed with prediabetes for about 10 years. I've managed blood sugars in the past with exercise and diet. Which I'm still doing, only now my diet consists of little to no sugars and about 100g to 150g carbs per day. I've not been much for junk food beyond the...
