[QUOTE="Carpetsalesman, post: 2329189, member: 526513"] For anyone who has read my slightly self-obsessed journey on here: Discovered a 6.4 FBG after being curious about some classic symptoms. Went low carb and in the first few weeks plunged the numbers down into the 4's and lost 20lbs (BMI 22), but this lasted just a few weeks until FBG slowly tracked up again. Got HbA1C of 37 and passed oral glucose. GP not interested. Fair enough. Carried on with low carb (around 100g). Graphed all the results and after 6months of daily fingerpricking my 20-day average FBG is... 5.8. 50-test rolling average of all tests including those during the day, after meals etc., is... 5.8. And the trend is very very slowly ticking upwards and I don't seem to be able to do much to stop it. Does this indicate anything to anyone? It's occurred to me to get a c-peptide but I already feel like a total headcase and that I've had the tests come back clear and have no reason to pursue more. But the fingerpricks are telling some kind of story surely? *edit* I do get that I’m asking the same question I’ve been asking since June, and the answer is probably that these things takes a lot of time and to stick at it, but I can’t stop myself asking!
