Agreed.

The tough part is that everything has carbs. Like if you have a peanut allergy you can still eat 90% of foods. If you are insulin resistant you legit cannot eat most foods at restaurants. A large chunk of the grocery store is off limits. Socially this is tough, idk how I can live a life going...

Right but I assume they can’t still can’t eat carbs in moderation without spiking? Or can they have a treat once in a while and their pancreas reacts just like before diagnosis? I will do my best to not fall in the trap of poor eating again, but hoping I can at least have cake on my bday and...

I guess it couldn’t be far fetched since when I measure I haven’t actually noticed abnormal glucose levels. But, I need to measure right when I get symptoms. I ran out of strips so I’m waiting for them to ship them I’ll update this thread with my results.

Depends on what the definition is. But at this point I haven’t hit the threshold technically. Might have hit the IR threshold. Hoping with a few months of clean eating I can have carbs with moderation without feeling symptoms.

I’ll do that once I eat in a few hours. But what numbers are bad? Like how do I interpret it?

It’s confusing though because I’ve read even non diabetics can get a high reading briefly if you eat a refined carb. Like I heard non diabetics hitting an high number eating a banana. Just that they go down quickly. So how I can I tell what number to aim for? Or what is normal? All I know is you...

I could be missing some spike since I’ve only measured at 1 and 2 hour marks maybe? I’m not sure

My normal A1C and my meter readings show my glucose numbers are normal. I don’t think it’s a food intolerance since if I drink water with pure sugar I get those symptoms. But what’s weird is my sugar levels never spike high either. And I’ve read that you can be insulin resistant long before A1C...

Good advice, I will add a food diary! Usually I measure at 1 and 2 hours (because I get symptoms as early as 10-20 mins and I’m not sure if measuring at that time makes sense). Should I try measuring at minute 10 or 20? The symptoms can last up to 6 hours, but maybe they are strongest around 45...

I’ve had some strange symptoms and test results the past 2 years. I’ll give a brief introduction about myself. Two years ago, when I was 23, I came to the doctor for a different reason and had lab work done. My fasting glucose came back as 123 mg/dL (6.85 mmol/L). My doctor didn’t actually note...
