Is my insulin considered too high after two hours?I've had many other tests, all of them are normal, but my vitamin D, vitamin B12 and ferritin are low. I also have hypothyroidism and high cholesterol.My glycated hemoglobin is 4.9 %No, I don't have an endocrinologist. None of them understand this disease. It's so, so sad and scared...I don't wear a CGM. I monitor my sugar levels with a glucometer.I have found that my body reacts to carbohydrates in completely different ways. Glucose can be 10.9 an hour after millet porridge, and it can also be 5.7 an hour after a sweet eclair, can you imagine..? My glucose doesn't always rise too high, this happens to certain types of carbohydrates. Also, combining carbohydrates with protein and fats does't raise it too high. But even if my glucose doesn't rise above 6, it still crush 3-4 hours after eating. How do you think, why it doesn't crush at night?I tried not eating for a three hours after waking up in the morning, but I started to feel weak and cold. My stomach hurt and wanted to eat. Sometimes glucose dropped at that moment. That way or another, I don't have strength to work on an empty stomach, I feel energy when I eat...I just don't understand what and how much I can eat to gain weight, without making my disease worse...</blockquote>
