Hi all, I'm still trying to further my understanding around the mechanics of insulin production and glucose levels. Rather more specifically, how it relates to me! I am not diagnosed with diabetes or even pre-diabetes. My hba1c was 33 in February. What I've learnt though, is that I don't...

I don't have diabetes (potentially some insulin resistance) but I do have thyroid disease. I think that any disruption to the hormonal system will upset the emotions and diabetes is the other side of the thyroid coin, all the same endocrine system! It makes sense to me that your emotions are...

Hello! I had a sugary cup of tea. I was at a national trust cafe at the time but I'm Gluten free so the sugary tea was the best I could do.

I will! I'll keep en eye on things over the next fortnight and experiment with my diet and see what I can find out! Thanks for taking the time to chat it through with me; it helps me make sense of all the new information.

Thank you so much for all your help. :D

That's good to know! I've got loads of test strips and lancets so I can double check if I do get my freebie!

I looked at this yesterday, apparently I'm eligible but I had an error message at checkout every time I tried so I've been in touch. Hoping they'll come back to me soon. A CGM would be super helpful I think.

It's weird, isn't it? My diet hasn't changed since those 2 weeks, neither have my exercise levels. Unfortunately because it's from Zoe I don't have that level of access. I do have a 'report' of the data so if there's something in particular you're looking for I can see if I can find it!

I've attached the last 3 days of testing results. The 3.2 did seem odd but we'd just finished a 7km walk so assumed it was that. Frustratingly, I cant see the data anymore from Zoe because I switched my phone. I do have the daily averages though. I'll attach them here too. The hba1c threw...

This was my thinking also. I think it's unlikely to be prediabetes with such a low hba1c (although I don't rule anything out and assuming nothing gets worse will ask for a repeat test in the summer). My (very surface) research over the last few days has suggested that insulin resistance is the...

Hi Ellie, Thank you for the warmer response. I appreciate it does sound like I'm looking for a diagnosis but I was hoping for a dialogue, I suppose. Yes, symptoms came on quickly but also are mild; more of an nuisance than a worry at this stage. Vast majority of my readings have been...

Hi Hooha, I mean, I don't even know where to start. Your adversarial tone was quite unnecessary. I came here looking for support because I obviously had nowhere else to turn. Sticking the boot in is remarkably unhelpful. Could you please clarify what you mean though... You've told me to go...

Well, that's not quite accurate. I don't believe anything dire is going on but something is going on to do with tolerating carbs. I assumed a diabetes forum might be a good place to start with research and information or signposting... Apparently that wasn't accurate. What a shame.

Hello! I was hoping for a bit of support and/or advice. I have a diagnosis of autoimmune hypothyroidism which I think is relevant. I've been feeling a bit 'off' lately, thirsty and drinking more and subsequently weeing more, but also I'm flagging after lunch and falling asleep after dinner...
