l would disagree with that always slow and test. As a t2 your liver is going to dump and you can end up swimming in glucose. He sounds like he wants people to have very high bg. So far l have not had hell of a lot of confidence in dr consultants etc. Folks here have helped me get myself under...

Ahh ok well you didn't actually say the reason for the unwise statement.. having that helps us to understand where you are coming from:) Now the question is, is it like us T2 who have pre diagnosis have been running stupidly high bg suddenly at a screaming stop and heading to sensible we get the...

I agree with the low in autoimmune and also for other reasons as l said mine started doing nights and never built up and then l am guessing my t2 whacked it on the head more added to that as l don't end up outside much and food wise wasn't eating correctly. I disagree with the "unwise" comment...

And also please do not take Caretakers advice in hypo treatment what he had sounds very high for dextrose. He is a Type 1 and so a different kettle of fish so be very wary. Not saying don't try a dextrose but do it slowly and max 1 or even better 0.5 at a time wait and retest. Sorry Caretaker...
