You should calm down, really. Nothing you have written in this post indicates pre-diabetes or risk of developing diabetes. Blood sugar of 126 mg/dl (7 mmol) 2 hours after eating are perfectly normal. If you were pre-diabetic it would be 140 mg/dl (7.8 mmol) or more at the 2 hours mark. 126...

No, your cells still need glucose to work, so there is no way to make a zero-carb diet work, only low-carb diet. With a low-carb diet, you will still get glucose, and therefore need insulin to transport the glucose into your cells. So no, type 1 can not be controlled by diet alone, diet can...

Well to me this does not sound like a new product, and I see some problems with this product. To have a business idea you have to offer something you can’t get else were. A few, if not all CGMs already have a function to warn you with a beeping sound if you go low or high, so what is the...

20.6 mmol, and the strange thing was that I only had eaten a cheeseburger, some fries and a diet coke somewhere between 1-2 hours prior. Well I am not very good at testing, so I might have a couple of such readings, but 20 is the highest I’ve seen. Strange since the endocrinologist meant I was...

Not hypoglycemic, and your levels 2 hour postprandial are perfectly normal, blood sugar should be between 4-6 mmol 2 hours postprandial in non diabetic. If you were RH your levels would drop far below 4 mmol. A reactive hypoglycemic can get a hypo even 15-60 minutes after eating in worst case...

Well then you’re diabetic, and should push your GP. If you told your GP about the 200mg/dl fasting, and 250mg/dl 2 hour postprandial, then it is completely irresponsible to make you wait a whole week. Get help soon, this is not good! :)

Do you have an diagnosis? Sound a bit like some sort of RH, were bloodsugar are raising before crashing into a hypo.

200 mg/dl are very high if they were fasting numbers. Get a new KIT, blood sugar monitor (with 50 units) and just retest when first oppurtunity. If you get even higher numbers (such as 300 and up), or another 200mg/dl fasting you need to go to emergency. Hard to tell which type, but if you do...

200 fasting are extremely high if fasting, and is by far a diabetic reading. Take two tests in a row to check if the first reading were valid.

How high readings have you had? For what reason did your GP start to check you for diabetes? It is hard to give help without knowing how your blood sugar are when it is not «normal» :)

Did you get a diagnosis, just ask. Because it does not sounds like RH or any blood sugar issue at all to me. You won’t get hypo symptoms at such levels, there is no point in keeping blood sugar above 5 mmol instead of 4 mmol. Also, a rapid increase in blood sugar or hyperglycemia does not make...

Not type 1, but know a few poeple with it, and testing, taking insulin or treating hypos have never been a issue or problem for any of them. There is no reason to have a special or "hygienc" place to treat your diabetes. Honesly, taking care of diabetes is nothing that should be shamed or...

In theory you can keep type 2 diabetes at bay without medication, but there is no way to fix or restore insulin resistance. There is a difference between getting cured, or being able to quit medication because of lifelong lifestyle changes.

You can't reverse type 2 diabetes if thats what you ask. Through diet and excercise you can get rid of the symptoms and discomfort associated with type 2 diabetes, but the insulin resistance would still be there. Meaning all the problems associated with being a type 2 like high blood sugar will...

Hard to say, but I can try. 1) The incubation time from when your antigens starts to destroy beta cells the first time until you get full blown type 1 diabetes vary, so there is no correct answere to that question. The immune system is weaker the younger you are, so type 1 in kids develope...

Not pre-diabetic, your HbA1c is normal. Your fasting blood sugar are less than 6.0 mmol, and 7-8 mmol are not high. You say your blood sugar rarely gods above 7.8 mmol, so being pre-diabetic is very unlikely.

Pro-insulin (same as fast acting insulin) are consisting of the two things, the hormone insulin and the protein chain c-peptid. C-peptid and fasting insulin are therefore two different tests. The body produces one c-peptid for each insulin molecule. A c-peptid test can therefore show the...

Fasting insulin can vary, and isn’t fireproof to tell if you under- or over- produce insulin. Because it only show insulin production in a short and spesific given time. To test for type 1 or 2 and get a more correct picture of how much insulin you produce you can take a c-peptid test. If the...

No you can’t go from type 2 to type 1. Type 1 and 2 are two different diseases, only thing they have in common are high blood sugar. Type 1 is autoimmun, meaning antibodies are attacking you beta cells, so you have no insulin producing cells left. Type 1.5 or LADA stands for Latent Autoimmune...

Can I ask how you were diagnosed? Because a GP should not set this diagnosis based on only symptoms alone. You have to take prolonged OGTT, and have blood sugar readings that indicate that you do have a hypoglycemic episode. Blood sugar under 4 mmol means hypo, and where I live a reading below...
