Hi, I have a libre and it shows my fasting levels are around 5.6. I have been taking Ozempic for a year. I’m also getting hypos after eating meals. Do you think I’ll be able to come off Ozempic anytime soon? Thanks for your input.

Thanks for all your replies. Is very helpful ;)

But all of this is Ozempic assisted

My estimated a1c is 4.8

When I’m not eating my blood levels are 4 - 5 mmol

I have 8 before the 2 hour mark? I have a libre and that’s what it shows. What does it mean if it peaks before the 2 hour mark?

What would happen if I was to come off Ozempic? Would 8 likely to go up…? I’ve almost lost 4 stone since my diagnosis this time last year

Not sure if you write it as 8mmol/L but anyway…..if you go up to an 8 and never go over after eating is this good. I know there is room for improvement like cutting down on cereal bars, porridge, chips…but if 8 isn’t too bad I thought I could just cut down on the portion sizes to get that bumper...

just wanted to clarify, is the goal to have less spikes as well as less pronounced spikes after eating? So is whole grain better because it doesn’t spike as fast and is more smooth?

Because of my bulimia I have not been able to change my diet and I’ve purchased a libre with the hope of making small changes to my diet when I’m able to. Is it likely that I’m now in remission even though I’ve not not been able to change my diet at all since diagnosis?

Thanks for your replies. I have very much still got active bulimia. I’ve been trying to address this issue but I’ve had it for so long the behaviour is really entrenched. I hope it’s not going to be a lifelong thing but I fear it might. I’ve had anorexia and then bulimia since I was 8 years old...

Is this likely to be accurate and is this a good reading? I’ve been taking Ozempic for 11 months and have been trying to address issues in my diet although there is definitely room for improvement with my diet although I have an eating disorder also which complicates matters

I definitely agree that I need to make healthier choices for diabetes management but I’m also recovering from 20years of eating disorders most recently bulimia so I’m trying to get a healthy balanced diet for that also. It’s hard you know? :(

I’m interested to see my estimated a1c in a few days according to libre

Yes peak according to libre! I’m pleased to hear that it’s doing what I’d hoped it to do….

Thanks for your reply. I have so much still to learn about diabetes. 6 for brownie and latte, 7 for noodles but 7.8 for a bag of crisps! All consumed in pm

I’m new to understanding diabetes and experimenting with different foods and the impact on my blood glucose for the first time btw!

According to libre this had less of an impact on my blood sugar than stir fry and noodles. How can this be?

I saw something on Instagram that said if you pair a banana with peanut butter it’s not as bad for you as just a banana and egg bites with a latte is not as bad as a latte on its own? How does this work?

A cereal bar is worse for my bg than a bowl of pasta!
