    Recent hba1c due to GD

    Well he is young and thin, so probably not type 2 or prediabetic and his glucose comes down too nicely for type 1. He says in the video he is not diabetic but you know, a lot of diabetics don't know about their illness... His glucose curves are fairly nice anyway to suggest any serious problem...

    Mystery Food Headaches - Insulin Resistance?

    Spiking only to 120 at 1 hour mark and going back to 90 after 96g of carbs is like perfect model glucose response, in case of episode of hypo you would go to 70s at least. A lot of healthy people stay elevated at 100-130 mg/dl at 2 hours mark after high fat high carb meals, and a lot of people...

    Long term impact of almost daily hypos & a decade of unnecessary insulin. Should I be worried?

    Is it actually possible to go into DKA with too much insulin? DKA happens when glucose is very high and doesn't get absorbed at all and your body can't process any, so you start burning fat with crazy rate and your blood becomes acidic. Are you sure it was actually DKA? Didn't you have like...

    Blood glucose and Insulin threshold

    I also think stuff like this from type 1 diabetics is useful to see that high fat and proteins meals do give significant spikes in an insulin-deprived body even after dealing with first initial spike...

    Blood glucose and Insulin threshold

    I noticed kind of the same thing in my thread https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/multiple-insignificant-spikes-after-some-meals.189734/ and Ronancastled left an interesting graph out there. My spikes are kind of similar to you, from 4.x fasting to 5-6 mmol for a few hours, and yours I...

    VLC keytones

    I wasn't even aiming for low carb but I once had 10 mmol/L urine ketones. It was in the beginning of my diet changes and I guess those drastic changes made me a fat burning machine for some time. Those ketones disappear when I have a few cheat days, as I get more both calories and carbs. My two...

    Sweeteners?

    There are different sweeteners in terms of glucose\insulin impact and effects on your body. Famous "explosive diarrhea" ***** bears have sweeteners inside them. Sweet drinks with aspartame seem fine if you don't have huge problems with your liver. Stevia and erythritol are the overall best...

    Just been diagnosed

    Just saying you should be careful with workouts with high blood pressure, I guess even cardio can be a bit dangerous if your resting pressure i 240/130. It is probably quite a bit better now, but still. You also should be careful with going from no exercises to 5 days a week on exercise bike as...

    question about fasting blood sugar values

    Morning glucose is affected by dawn phenomenon in case if you have problems with glucose metabolism. As far as I know, healthy people don't get significant glucose spikes, at least it doesn't last for more than a few minutes. I will give...

    Type 2 Meds for fasting sugar on low-carb

    Hey, I might be a bit off topic because I was only diagnosed as a prediabetic, but after going from 100 kg to 87 kg of body mass, my HOMA-IR on 2x850 mg metformin twice a day in the middle-closer to the end of a meal was 1.2 with 4.3 fbg and 6.4 insulin. 1 week-off metformin and in 3 weeks...

    Multiple insignificant spikes after some meals.

    Yes, I guess my glycemia looks like that of a healthy person now and I am not on tryhard diet, so everything looks good for now. But I had fasting hyperglycemia, epic high HOMA-IR and failed OGTT test in February, so I consider myself in prediabetes remission. If I gain weight again everything...

    Multiple insignificant spikes after some meals.

    I wasted some money and tested 2-3 times each time, posted value is average between those measurements, so a bit less unlikely to be wrong. I guess with type 2 prediabetes situation is a bit different, a lot of guidelines I saw say you should avoid jumping more than 2-3 mmol higher than your...

    Multiple insignificant spikes after some meals.

    Hey, prediabetic since this February, 22 y.o male, 5.1 HOMA-IR at that time with HA1C of 31 and fasting glucose of 5.9. Had covid in January. Put on metformin, lost weight (100 kg -> 83 kg), HOMA-IR on metformin 1.2, HOMA-IR off metformin 1.4 measured twice, HA1C 33, 29 (tested in two different...

    Variations in BM levels during the day

    Yeah, but did you get your HOMA-IR and antibodies tested? I see a lot of people on reddit getting misdiagnosed nowadays, they are able to somewhat lower their numbers by diets for a few months/years, then their beta cells completely die and their misdiagnosis becomes apparent

    Variations in BM levels during the day

    Are you 100% sure you are type 2 and not slow-developing type 1 if you don't have significant weight to lose? If you are thin and eat a low carb diet in most cases I guess your levels should be a bit lower, especially as you are not an advanced stage diabetic. I am not an expert though. Also...

    Newly diagnosed

    I always have mixed feelings about absolute statements and diabetes, as I (and judging by picture, you as well) am young, how will it be when we are 50+?
