[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2570390, member: 196898"] The two Libre graphs you have shared show a very robust falloff in glucose levels after the peaks. The rate of the graphs is interesting. I would suspect that you may be overproducing insulin, but may be missing the First Phase insulin rresponse. This is a characteristic common to Type 2 diabetes. I would hazard a guess that Insulin Resistance is not an issue in your case since your response to a meal appears to recover in the expected 4 hours. As has been pointed out, the 'hypo' events are not due to medication but are not far off those experienced by non diabetics so I would be more worried about the high spikes. I had one this morning from eating a croissant, so I am just as guilty of harming myself with carby treats. The advice to reduce carbs is sensible, and should help to reduce the swings. [/QUOTE]
