Hi
I have been wearing a libre thingy me bob CGM. It showed f that frequently my fasting blood glucose was above 7, even after fasting for over 16 hours on one occassion, but my HBAlc comes in as normal.
I flagged this up with the diabetes GP in my practice and finally got to speak to her this morning. She told me that the guidelines are for fasting glucose of 11 or below to be normal when i pointed out mine were rarely not 7 or around that, and that she had worn a cgm and got similar results and therefore she could not diagnose or treat me as type 2 diabetic.
I have asked her to refer me to endo for a second opinion but is she right??? I am in
Wales but surely that doesn’t change the facts?
I will try to attach a screen shot of a graph. Up until the large spike I did not eat from 7pm the night before
I eat a very plant dense, non ultra processed, wholefood diet, but do eat home made sourdough once a day and chocolate a few times a week. Even when I was keto I couldn’t get below 12 stone and without being keto my body just climbs back to 14 stone. I am just puzzled by my GP’s response. Any info or advice?
