have you tried also putting it in your coffee, and drinking water in which you've put a bit of salt?

try putting salt in all of your drinks?

Always go with finger blood. Also, I've heard Libre has issues with pressure on the sensor.

At the end of the day you can think of it almost the way a normal non-diabetic or type 2 diabetic person who knows about the endocrine model of obesity (which you are experiencing here now you are on more accurate insulin dosing thanks to a pump) thinks of dieting. Insulinogenic nutrients should...

Wow. Ok. There's so much to unpack here and I am not any kind of therapist. I'd just like to chip in with "I can see how ins. dosing could be used as a self harm means."

Undiagnosed type 1 is no joke. Perhaps have him test urinary ketones and if they're large, take him to the A&E or another doctor that will give a $&#.

I'm just a passerby who tests their own blood sugar due to hypochondriacism, and after eating an ultra high protein meal like the one you did (in my case it was pulled lean pork that had not been drenched in any sort of fat) my blood sugar got stuck about a mM higher than before (low 5s), and I...

I hope things improve rapidly. You're not a burden by your own choice - you are burdened with a disease (insulin agenetic diabetes) that intermittently causes disability such as this.

look into suet maybe

Reactive hypoglycemia?

She might be trying to say that you got misdiagnosed?

Testing at 1 hour post tells you things that 2 and 3 hours post won't tell you. 2 and 3 hours tells you if your body can get the spike down quickly, which is good to know, but they don't tell you directly if there is a spike to bring down in the first place.

I'm going to contradict everyone here because I'm worried that some extremely high glycemic impact foods won't show if people only test at 2 hours. Testing at 1 hour, if you feel it provides you with actionable information (say, why you don't feel good after a sandwich, if that's what is...

This is a crazy idea: might they have accidentally given you glucagon instead of insulin? Pharmacy eff-ups have happened before, and switching insulin for glucagon isn't outside of the realm of possible. I don't think that's what is happening, but I'm a conspiracy theorist so I have to consider...

DISCLAIMER: I am not a doctor and this is not medical advice. Please consult a medical professional before applying any principles I advocate for. If your DSN is right about the insulin deficiency, you're not (at least predominantly) type 2. LADA (adult-onset DM1) can occur around the same time...

In short, it depends who you are. The long form I wrote includes (psh... it's basically entirely) cruft about nutrient bioavailability and how that can be a long term concern whether or not you're diabetic, and also touches on the Randle cycle, which would explain (though I don't decipher it in...

The thin type 2 clinical picture can be caused by one of two things: the person has overexpanded a particularly meagre fat store and so is "fat" without being overweight (liposuction/lipodystrophy), or the person is also type 1 at the same time but they're still in the honeymoon phase somehow so...

But the cause of the retinal damage is the high blood glucose. Should one not get the blood glucose normalised if they expect to fix a diabetic eye problem? Not doing so is like trying to rebuild a burnt-down city while the arsonist is still on the lam.

have you been checked for possible signs of late onset type 1?
