Because I have a severe eating disorder for 20 years and it’s unlikely I will ever recover but I want to keep trying and hope it will go into remission at some point. Ta important I eat a varied diet from this perspective. I’d rather deal with insulin than an ed

On Semaglutide and blood sugars very well controlled on it. Can’t see me being able to come off it due to not changing to low carb diet. Try to exercise as much as possible. And healthy weight. I’ve read most diabetics will need insulin after 10/15 years. Is this true?

Looking at libre my levels spike up and down throughout the day and night. They never go beyond 8/9 but they are still going up and down. Is this normal? I’m hoping to come off Semaglutide soon.

They look significant spikes on the libre. I eat carbs but not a huge amount but there’s still big spikes after eating. Does this mean my diabetes is not well controlled? Thanks

I only have the libre atm. No finger prick test. I’ll run it by a doctor next week and see what they think. Thanks so much for your input!

3.4 is lowest. I have a big spike and then big drop. I don’t eat huge amounts of carbs. I am losing too much weight and it’s a problem because I have an eating disorder and the weight loss is fuelling the eating disorder. Thanks for your reply

I have a severe eating disorder and can’t overly control my diet

But these levels are Ozempic assisted. If I was to come off the Ozempic would they rise?

Is around 5.6 upper normal for fasting? Thanks
