Could I perhaps be suffering an Addisonian crisis, since you speak of glucocorticoid?

Sadly no.

Patient description: 19, AMAB, non-diabetic (ex-obese, so working under the assumption of remitted type 2 pre-prediabetes), health-obsessed semi-sedentary carnivoroid. For background: if I eat carbs (which I normally don't) the blood (and ISF) sugar reaction is as expected if a shade...

Well, a sleep deprived impulse purchase is what ultimately tipped me over the edge into SMBG and SMISFG. I actually wrote about it on a no-longer-updated text file on my Web site. I think it was around 130 minutes after that I was showing 8.5mM/~153mg/dL (at 45 minutes in I hit 8.0/144, and...

Ok well I'm not someone who has to use exogenous insulin... It should say somewhere on my profile that I'm metabolically "normal" but I dunno

Yeah, non-DM case. I put the sensor in my arm this time (explanted the old sensor early) and the numbers are more CONSISTENT in their inaccuracy. They're still inaccurate if you compare to my old fingerstick meter, but now they're consistent, and as a result of that consistency they told me why...

To clear the air: I don't think Abbott can be blamed because I put the sensor in my left pectoral, not on my arm as you're meant to. However, it seems like ISF glucose is, at least on this sensor and this site, reading unreliably between .7 and 1.8 mM-equiv below fingerstick blood glucose on an...

type 2 and underweight... It's not likely, but have you asked your doctor if there's even a minuscule possibility it may be LADA? Other than that question, I'll parrot what bulkbiker has been saying: porridge, bread and SF biscuits, a.k.a. starchy carbohydrates, or over 2/5 of the eatwell...

This is just something I wondered based on some events in my life (psychiatric problems) that I think now were exacerbated by wild blood sugar swings. The confounders I suspect are: sucrose addiction disorder, and nutritional deficiencies.

My grandmother told me that she believes people who aren't diagnosed diabetic shouldn't test their blood sugar more frequently than one day of the week. I test most days, because I'm an ex-obesity case with numerous mental disorders that either stabilise or go away when my blood sugar stays...
