type 2 in USA on 500 mg metformin and 1.0 Ozempic I am trying an otc CGM by dexcom called stelo, my readings are averaging 140 mg/ dl or 7.8 mmol/L my last A1C was 6.5% which was increase , so my dr added the Ozempic and I can’t tolerate more metformin.
I went to a diabetes health fair and the drs were saying that is not bad, but it seems to be progressing.
I did a keto diet program called Virta and had normal 4.8% A1C but it ended and I can’t seem to get back to that on my own.
I get blood work twice a year and eye exams.i need glasses but no eye issues. I am 60yo had gestational diabetes dx type 2 in 40s. Family history both sides.
The range on CGM is 70-180. That is where they want you to be. It will show if you go out of range.
When do you start seeing damage/conplications?
