- Not really knowing what's going on inside my Endocrine system!!!
Hi
I'm recently diagnosed T2, 34 and told I'm slim with good BMI/weight/chol levels - no meds as yet (I have refused Statins)
I got fed up and got a meter recently after being fobbed off for months (from being told the strips are too expensive...I'm not making this up, to being told that it can lead to depression due to constant let downs from poor readings...).
I keep fit, not at athletic levels but at least 3 -6 hours of exercise a week.
So I tested before I embarked on a Zumba class, 7.5 - I felt good anyway before I tested, had one Ryvita wth cheese and off I went. Still feeling good after an hour of Zumba, I went on to an hour of Boxercise, shoved some hazelnuts down in between, but literally a small handful.
I tested an hour and a half later and I was at 8.7
I know it's not massively high but I'm curious as to why my sugar's up?
My c-peptide tested normal. So I assume I'm insulin resistant but I'm awaiting MODY results.
