(Copied from a Reddit thread). A drug approved to treat Type 2 diabetes is extremely effective at reducing obesity, according to a new study. | Tirzepatide, works on two naturally occurring hormones that help control blood sugar and are involved in sending fullness signals from the gut to the...

I wake up, and BG sits all morning around the 6.5 level. Does not want to drop. I have been reading that sometimes your body needs something to get it to drop out of "morning" mode - ie. food. Sorry, not sure how to describe this in more scientific terms. Has anyone an understanding of this...

Really just not sure what the best option is for mornings and looking for suggestions. My morning glucose is usually between 6.0 and 6.8, and it seems it comes down to to how I sleep. Poor sleep (body feels "stressed") = higher FBG. I should add, I have sleep apnea and use a CPAP machine, and...

Background. On the verge of pre-diabetes officially - but my numbers are generally a bit wonky and I think have a lot of other external factors involved - I have sleep apnea (being treated, but not working great), my glucose reacts badly to stress hormones etc... Later on in the day (once my...

So just a general question based on the results of some blood glucose testing after eating....been gaining some weight (stupid boredom, covid, etc) and I really need to get back to behaving again.... Trying to gather some solid baselines, I'll eat a meal that I consider low carb/keto...

Just posting this as I live here and saw in the local news... https://edmonton.ctvnews.ca/cure-for-diabetes-university-of-alberta-researchers-believe-they-ve-found-one-1.5192813 ...we are far away from the UK but love you folks and will happily share!

...amazing to think about how soon it could arrive. https://www.chemistryworld.com/news/glucose-regulating-nanogel-keeps-blood-sugar-in-the-sweet-spot/3010625.article

Hey all, Just a question regarding LCHF and how it "changes" your system. I still have some more testing to do before formal diagnosis, but am most likely "pre"diabetic. Staying quite LC and my glucose readings stay nice and low as long as I stay LC, but I have noticed (for example this...

Just something I'm noticing when taking levels and not sure what to make of it. Pretty well every morning a little bit on the high side for my liking - Fasting around 6.0 - 6.5, and if I eat/drink anything, goes up quickly. If I eat "good" carby foods (like soaked raw oatmeal as a test), I...

So I've been "experimenting" with the meter and various foods, times of measurements after eating etc, and one thing I have noticed is that coffee (at this point caffeinated - have yet to try decaf) first thing when I get to work raises my level from 5.9 to at LEAST 6.9 (this is very consistent...

Hello all, Pre-diabetic here (I think - still working on the "official" stuff). Eating LCHF for the most part which works well to keep BG down. My BG does spike quickly/easily with sweet/high carb foods. Just something I have noticed recently and I've done a bit of research on via Google...

I hope this is the correct thread for this, but here goes.... Un-diagnosed but likely pre-diabetic. Been going fairly strict LCHF for quite a few months with cheat meals here and there (but not too often). Waking BS is usually around 5.9, and if I don't eat, it steadily drops all morning...if...

Anyone going through both these at the same time, and conflicting diet advice. BP changes a lot (I react to stress etc, white coat syndrome) but is at best 120/80 under only optimal conditions, and usually in the 130-140/90 range...sometimes higher depending on what I have eaten, stress levels...

Hello all, Background - I am possibly in the pre-diabetes diagnosis area based on some previous random blood tests, and my doctor prescribed a follow up fasting test as well as adding a glucose tolerance test. Didn't include another A1C though. After that initial diagnosis and finding this...

Possible prediabetes and I've been following all the amazing advice (very low to low carb, some intermittent fasting (thanks Dr. Fung) have lost about 25 pounds etc.) Local pharmacy was recently doing an A1C clinic and I tested at a 5.1 (yeah!!) after a good month to 6 weeks of LC etc. - things...
