I take metformin and don’t get hypos (type 2). My endocrinologist thinks I can get morning reading under 100 mg/dL (5.6). I get random readings in the afternoon like that, but not in the morning. My primary care dr looks at my A1C and is pleased but endocrinologist always finds something, I...

No experience but I hope all goes well.

Thank you

Type 2 diabetic on metformin. I am in USA MY sisters have type 2 Also, and we get different recommendations from our drs. My endocrinologist always wants me to improve my numbers. I was doing a ketogenic diet but I found it too restrictive as far as food choices. My glucose was in normal...

I had some genetic testing on food sensitivity. I am sensitive to sodium affecting my blood pressure. Not everyone is. I don’t know the mechanism,

Thank you. I will get back to logging. What do you consider a modest rise?

I started a keto diet a year ago. I was able to get off Januvia and My A1C went from 5.3% (5.7 mmol/L) to 4.8% (5.1 mol/L) In December I went off keto around the holidays. I found i missed fruits and some of the starchier veggies and legumes. I even had some sweets but not like in the past. I...

Yes, I have a meter. And a scale. I will start checking more often.

Thank you. My friend offered me oranges fresh from the tree. Hard to resist. I know I can have some berries, and do but it is hard for me to see fruit as bad for me. I like crunchy foods. I have been eating jicama, cucumber, radishes. I also found out I am lactose intolerant and the heavy...

4.8% = 29 mmol/mol. 5.3% =34.4 mmol/mol 100 mg/dL=5.6 mmol/L. 115 mg/dL = 6.4 mmol/L 15 lbs is about 1 stone

I am in America. I will go look up conversions for the numbers.

Hello I am type 2 diabetic on metformin. My A1C had been running about 5.3 and I was also taking Januvia. I tried keto for 1 year. My A1C at 6 months and 1 year was 4.8 and I was able to get off Januvia. Fasting glucose went down, too. I think 115 to 100. And, I lost 15 lbs. my lipids were...

Thanks. Her A1C was 6.6% (48.6 mmol/mol) so her dr said she does not need medication. He prescribed a freestyle libre CGM. Her fasting glucose is not too bad, she tells me, but it goes up later in day. I am the opposite. That A1C seems high to me, but I don’t know.

I agree. We tried keto together. I am still on it and got off one med, but she did not stick with it. I am surprised. She is much more disciplined than I am.

Thank you. She tried lower carb but found it restrictive. I will mention what you wrote. Thanks again

My sister is seeing her endocrinologist tomorrow. She has trouble with digestive upset from metformin. That is what I take. She was asking for any advice before she sees the dr. She eats low carb, not keto but she still gets spikes sometimes.

Got my moderna booster today. So far I feel fine. My arm is a little sore. It was half the dose of the original

I can't see how to edit but 7% converts to 53 mmol/mol

My mom has T2, also. She still eats sweets and takes medicine (I don't know what). She says her Dr is happy if A1C is under 7%. I will come back with conversion. She asks what my husband and I do. He eats low carb but not keto and has reversed it, I do keto and got off Januvia but still take...
