Hello everyone, I have type 2 diabetes and I try to find some energy gels with natural ingredients if possible, or without maltodextrin that do not affect the blood sugar levels.
Hi
I've been told to immediately stop taking my Metformin. I'm still OK, for now to take my Mounjaro. I'm booked a call with the diabetic nurse at my GP Surgery for next week to fully go through my results.
My questions here are:
Can HBA1C be too low in T2D Remission?
Do folks experience...

I am T2 SINCE around 18 months ago. I stupidly did not take it seriously enough and my HBA1C went from 56 NMOL - 64 - 56 and then went to a whopping 94NMOL over last xmas. I have started Metformin since February ( 500Mg)...
I finally got to start Metformin. Was a bit disappointed by the lack of the not so nice side effects that the diabetes nurse, the pharmacist and my parents told me that I would get! Also bought a glucose monitor from Amazon. It has a hypo alert as well as helpful images at the bottom of an apple...

Hi.
A question for those who've had COVID. Did your blood glucose levels wildly fluctuate?
I'm double vaxxed (on waitlist for booster). Two weeks ago I got sick. Test last week was negative. But I'm thinking it was incorrect.
Since I got sick my blood glucose levels are all over the place...

Hi,
