    What happened??

    Hello I was diagnosed with RH about 7 years ago. So lately I have been feeling like **** after eating for the past several weeks no matter what I eat. Fasting glucose has been 99-110. Before I was usually in the 70-85 range. So of course I went to my doctor and he recommended a OGTT so I...

    Can someone help explain???

    Ah okay got it! That makes sense. Because there is not total insulin resistance just abnormality in how it responds. However if the abnormality persists or worsens from time and/or diet then that’s when T2 could* possibly happen. Is that correct?

    Can someone help explain???

    thank you! I’m not too familiar with mol, as I’m in the US but I can look up the conversion. My a1c came back 5.1% with avgBG at 99.7mg. Which, of course textbook wise, it seems great. I just wish I felt as great as my lab lol.

    Can someone help explain???

    Thank you Brunneria, I think I said my question wrong. Okay so I know it doesn’t show highs or lows. But does having lows decrease the a1c percentage? Basically I’m saying can the a1c be wrong due to me having more lows than highs. And since it takes an average and I swing both high and low...

    Can someone help explain???

    I’ve never had an a1c test. This is going to sound weird but it seems every time I test myself my range is normal, even when feeling like **** however when the dr puts orders in for a lab- my sugar is always off! High and low. But everyday I feel horrible. Whether it’s stomach pains, from...

    Can someone help explain???

    What does this mean. I’m sorry I really don’t know much about RH. When I was “diagnosed” I was first told my sugar was fine, then told I had RH. I was told carbs were fine just eat 6 times a day, Then I was told just make sure you’re eating breakfast, then cut all sugar, but carbs okay. I’m so...

    Can someone help explain???

    So if I’m having symptoms but when I check I’m not showing a low reading in BG, should I still treat it? Or just check sugar again in 15-30 min?
