Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lamont D" data-source="post: 2724393" data-attributes="member: 85785">Im gonna read between the description of your readings at this time.I believe that you are now stabilising your spikes enough, to get you to a good level overall, that the effect or intolerance levels has reduced to somewhere near normal, that you don't get high enough that will trigger the reaction.I do think the travelling issues with higher BG levels has been because of the realities of long haul travel, different time zones, different food, different everything really.And on top of your other conditions on top, always makes it harder to get to.A lot of symptoms of the others on top of the RH symptoms can disguise what is going on.Of course the big why? Always comes into your mental attitude of coping with all this.The answer is, I don't know.Counselling never answered why.But it is down to how resilient you have to be.And always believe that what you are doing, can be beneficial.And clearly from your post, you are doing really great.So keeping your BG levels stable in and around normal levels is working.And the trials and tribulations, the testing is working.Your hba1c result may be skewed from your travels. So I would accept and keep doing what you have been doing, and the next hba1c, if it's before you go galivanting around the globe again, will give you a clearer picture.The longest I've been on a plane is just over five hours, when going to Crete.So I have no personal experience of long haul.I have no idea how ozempic would work. It has worked on some T2s which is similar in many says but how will it effect our insulin production etc.On meds, the reason I had more than the obligatory eOGTT, was a trial over a few months about the drug sitagliptin, it worked, tho, the long term, cos of the time of low carb dietary intervention.Sitagliptin is designed to help with first phase insulin response. This it does.But unfortunately it doesn't help with stopping hypoglycaemia or the second phase insulin response.But it did reduce the spike from the glucose given on the eOGTT.It helps me to help you, so you don't have to keep thanking me.I'm so glad to read your posts and how you are doing and coping with this rare weird condition.There isn't that many of us around.My best wishes as usual.</blockquote>
