That actually is a thing for some too, but I meant getting up from my seat walking up the stairs to the machine and back at work ;). With juggluco it actually shows in the minute values.

Yup, pretty much the same here. Standing up and going to bed results in a spike. For me it comes down reasonably fast when in bed but it is still frustrating yes. Waking up and needing to pee results in a spike. Even during the day whenever I stand up and get a cup of coffee at work it spikes a...

Sounds like you could still do better on the food/drink side of things. Other than that I can only say I feel your pain ;) Type 2 for about 18 years, trying to loose weight for the same amount of time. Trying to live up to the doctor's mantra of eat less exercise more. For the last 2 years I...

In case you do end up eating pizza, keep in mind that, like @In Response says, pizza is one of those odd "foods" that cause a much delayed spike. So maybe don't test 2 hours later, if you test at all, but start testing 3 hours later and repeat hourly until it drops. The same applies to...

Not wrong, but during the night you might (will) lie on the sensor. This can cause what is known as a compression low. Or a false reading really. Not the most fun to do in the night but check with a finger prick before eating something because looking at myself most of the time this is a...

Thanks. Any special reason to "have" to pair it with some carbs? I can get almond butter locally I see but it is as we say "Beter duur dan niet te koop" Loosely translated: Better expensive than not for sale! ;)

I have tried worse things than peanut butter ;). I will give it a go thanks!

As somebody with a big case of the dawn phenomenon I'm very curious about what you use as a protein snack. So far for me nothing really seems to help. Tried apple cider vinegar, piece of cheese etc etc.

My personal idea would be to go as low carb as you can (or can stand ;)) The lower you keep your glucose levels the better of you generally are in the long run. Few point, there is something called dawn phenomenon which with a fasting level of 6 you may not have (yet?) That would be a possible...

It is somewhat of a known fact that insulin resistance is worse in the morning. If I eat my kefir in the morning it gives at least a 3 point "spike" if I eat the same amount of kefir in the afternoon it hardly shows. Low carb is also relative btw, 17 grams of carbs in the morning would send me...

Not really advice, and I am currently having issues with them myself, but a CGM. I used to be someone who listed to my doctor saying "It's good/ok" unfortunately until it was not so good anymore. I would suggest trying a free 14 day sample CGM (continuous glucose monitor). In my diabetes...

How long did you wear this sensor? I myself started using them around march 2021 and found them excellent at the time. That is until the same period last year. They would start good, pretty close to finger pricks, but after around a week they started to deviate. The deviation gets worse every...

Not my area of expertise ;), but I know people drink kefir (homemade, not the supermarket stuff) to help with this. It apparently works because of certain bacteria in it. Other people apply it to the affected area where it works because it's pretty acid. No first hand knowledge though...

But, besides when you have kidney problems, it is dangerous to drink too much (of any fluid) in a short period of time. A quick Google search suggest keeping it below a liter an hour. Edit: Search for water intoxication for more information.

I would suggest about half an hour before dinner. There are "normal" metformin tablets and time-released. Assuming you use the normal ones, they don't work for 24 hours. According to the Netherlands medical database the maximum effect is reached after about 2,5 hours and the half-time (correct...

Keep in mind that full fat milk has almost 5 grams of carbs per 100ml. So that's about 55 grams of carbs a day. Might not be a problem for you but keep it in mind.

Normally speaking that is not the dawn phenomenon but a delayed reaction to the carbs due to the high fat contents like is to be expected with chips, pizza, egg rol etc.

I am on the Libre 2 (self funded) for about 1.5 years now and was just about to ask something similar on this forum. I do not have what you are seeing. But the last 8 sensors have been terrible Of those 8 only 2 made it to the end of the 14 days. One of those was a replacement from Abbott. So...

The same here for years now! I always wonder which one is right though... Two different GP's who do the yearly manual measurements always end up with 135/80 the assistant who does my 3 month checkups uses an "automatic" machine and always ends up with something in the 165/90 range...

And this is where a cgm device shines in my opinion. No limited testing but continuous testing for 14 days straight. You get a real sense (and visual feedback) of what a certain type of food does for/to you. Good conclusion. And it probably isn't the best type of food either... (which could...
