My doctor is determined to turn me away from further diabetes investigations because my HBa1c average was just within the normal range. However from my home Accu Chek Performa Nano monitor, I can decisively prove that something is very wrong with me postprandially.
- Fasting blood glucose is perfectly fine, ranging from. 4.7 - 5.7 each morning.
- After 2 hours of eating, my blood sugar usually ends up back to normal or low. However sometimes it plummets into hypoglycemia ranges, as low as 2.9, with very uncomfortable symptoms.
- After 2.5-4 hours, my blood sugar suddenly shoots up to 9-10 mmol or higher, making me restless, thirsty and suchlike. There's no doubt these are diabetic numbers for their time, especially as I'm only eating something simple like a small bowl of weetabix.
We need to find a root cause of my other chest troubles, and seeing a 2.9 sugar reading get totally ignored has convinced me the docs want nothing more to do with my investigations. I just can't seem to convince them that such extreme values after meals are of concern because I can't figure out why they're happening
