    Type 2 Late spikes- what’s the physiology behind them?

    Aiming the question (which is just out of curiosity- I’m not super worried or anything) in particular at our members who are super-knowledgeable about the science behind this thing! I’m type 2 on meds (metformin, dapaglifozin and Ozempic) with a self-funded CGM. I’ve noticed particularly...

    Med Students given CGM’s to wear for a month: changed their views on nutrition!

    Apologies if this has been posted already but this is a really encouraging (although small) study where medical students at Harvard were given CGMs to wear and are reported as saying that it has radically changed their views of nutrition education, particularly the emphasis on carbs in the...

    Interesting Libre graph

    Well, I think it’s interesting lol! Outrageously self-indulgent meal around 8pm last night. Including dessert. I am normally pretty strict, this was very much a one-off. What I thought was interesting was what appears to be my body producing insulin quite well (dropped from 9 to 4.9 very...

    I don’t want to be dramatic about this, I’m sure it’s absolutely fine, but I just wanted to get second/third opinions. Basically is this….ok? (If the graph doesn’t show up, it’s basically showing that my glucose is really quite low - 3.5mmol and under for pretty much all of the night and also...

    Exercise doing more harm than good?

    I need encouragement that exercising is the right thing to do! I normally have a morning peak between about 8am -10am (up to 9-10mmol) and then by 11am it’s back to around 6-7mmol, and stays there for the rest of the day (I don’t really have peaks with food, cos I eat <5g carbs per meal) Today...

    Changed Freestyle sensor, readings all much higher

    Has anyone had this happen - I changed my sensor yesterday (only my second one, so I’m quite new to this). It’s readings seem to be much higher than the last one, for no obvious reason (ie no change in diet or exercise or anything else). Frustratingly, I am away from home this week and have no...

    Walking pre- or post-breakfast?

    I’m type 2 on metformin and dapaglifozin. Last HbA1C 64 in August but according to MySugr has dropped to 48 since starting keto (I think this is probably over optimistic! My bloods are mostly between 7 and 8, have had the odd 5 or 6.) One thing I’ve noticed is that exercise while fasted seems...
