[QUOTE="docphi, post: 2450749, member: 549194"] I agree. However, the dysautonomia relapse is causing an unbearable sympathetic discharge that amplifies all of the symptoms (blurry vision, dizziness, cognitive impairment, etc) of glucose excursions, false hypos, etc. Believe me, I would love to not eat so often. Stimulating an insulin response every couple of hours and not letting your system rest is not helpful. For one, it increases insulin resistance. I've tried letting it ride and watched the meter go lower and lower (106 at its lowest point before I bailed), but, the false hypos are too much to handle right now. Why do you say the meter's messages are irrelevant? If it shows you a downward trend, why does it matter if you're T1 or T2? If the meter says you're lowish (confirmed via fingerstick) and dropping fast, why wouldn't you believe it? If I didn't have the Dexcom CGM (and this wonderful forum), I would never have figured out I was carb intolerant and carb crashing. It also showed me dietary control is possible without the need for medications. [/QUOTE]
