Hello! A month ago I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and have managed to keep my blood glucose numbers in the range my endocrinologist and primary doctor asked me to keep them in(less than 7.2mmol/L in the morning and less than 10mmol/L after meals). A week and a half ago my endocrinologist...

So my endocrinologist had his assistant tape a CGM device on my arm yesterday, that I’m to wear for 3 days. Only thing is, it fell off after 1 day. All she said is “if it falls off put it in a plastic bag, but it won’t fall off so don’t worry.” My question is- is there any further steps I must...

my doctor explained what my blood sugar levels should be, in the morning, before meals, but how should my numbers look throughout the day? How much should each meal bring me up on average, and what’s your guys’ peak blood sugar levels look like throughout the day? Thanks! :)

how would a doctor be able to tell if a diabetic person, that has their blood sugar in check and in a “normal” range, has diabetes?

Hi - I just got diagnosed this week and I am so glad to have found this forum! I would be grateful if you guys would be able to look at my blood sugar levels and advise me on my new medication. I am concerned about my 500 mg Metformin for several reasons. I just started taking it 4 days ago but...
