Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="JoKalsbeek" data-source="post: 2764661" data-attributes="member: 401801">Almost 10 years in, my Libre estimated me at a HbA1c of 39 a few weeks ago, while the hospital's test was 42 somewhere in december '24. Wearing a Libre made it clear it wasn't my diet that was the main problem now, though some tweaks have been made since, but stress, (peri-)menopause and sleep issues made my bloods rise. It took the stringer out to know that, because there's not a whole lot I can do about simply getting older and dealing with this thing called life. The food is sorted. The rest, well... Not within my control, so I'll let it go and cut myself some slack. I did discuss meds with my nurse, because I'm, used to tighter control than I have now, -my liver starts bucking if I'm in the prediabetic range, and it gets painful- but she said they don't medicate under 52, so yeah. I'm on my own. I know, it's not a competition and you just want to know where you stand... But you're asking people from all walks of life, with different conditions or none, and medications or not for other issues, different levels of insulin sensitivity/output, lifestyles, methods of treatment etc. There's not a whole lot to compare, you're quite unique, as am I, as is the next person. Is there room for improvement though, is that what you want to know? Probably. I'd hope so. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Have an excellent weekend,Jo</blockquote>
