T2 and PAF & now Haemochromatosis!
Well, since I had an ablation on my heart, my BG has risen I also had a really bad fall recently while on holiday, so a lot in the mix. My DN got me a month trial on a Libre 2, can you trust the results? No, I don’t, so I pricked as well finding sometimes there was a great difference between the monitor and Libre, yes I know it takes readings from the interstitial fluids but…….. SO, I have the ‘dawn phenomanon, and morning readings higher than was, so when I eat reasonably good, it gos higher and pattern stays. No, I do not want to exclude all carbs, I’ve gotta live - so hacked off. Having a blood & wee test next week because kidney values gone down, I’ve been telling the Drs for months and month and got ignored!!
DN suggesting insulin in the evening to try and bring dawn phenominon down hoping it’ll bring the other numbers lower ‍♀️

So, my action, try to get more sleep, more water and hope it changes the kidney values to positive figures but with my fall, heart issues feeling despondent
 
I can only empathise with you as I don't have any answers. I have type2 but have CKD stage 3 and just been put on insulin once a day at night. (My nephrologist put me on indapamide last year and my sugars skyrocketed, and haven't come down since despite stopping the indapamide at the end of last year. (And my kidney function has stayed low, 33). I cut out carbs, and my sugar levels stayed high. The one thing the endocrinologist said was that adrenaline and cortisol can raise sugar levels. I have been stressed at work, my body has been stressed cos of the indapamide, my father passed away 6 weeks ago, and I am concerned about adding more insulin to my body that already is insulin resistant...

Maybe your levels are still being affected by your heart ablation and fall? All the stress and pain that goes with that.

I hope your blood tests go/went OK.
