Welcome to the forum, Jesusis.
I believe ...
You've came back, I always knew you wouldI believe you can fix yourself. .
My hip/sciatica was feeling better today so I went out to the caravan and washed it and did a few odd jobs. Was working for 3 hours. I am very tired and my hip hurts like hell, but I feel healthier than I have for a very long time. If it was just pain I would do it more often but my hip joint is a bit of a gonner.
Complications definitely improve with good control. It's a great reason to improve your control. But it's not a reason to be complacent. Part of the damage is reversible with good control, but part of the damage will be permanent, and the permanent damage will be increasing all the time that control is bad.do complications improve?
My feet feel warm tonight no numbness and no pain.
That has not happened for a long time.
OK I'm not good at this.I'm not sure that I understand what the pattern is that you are describing? Sorry.

Ah OK thanks for clarifying. I think that kind of yo yo effect is fairly typical in T2, because you do make insulin, it can just have a much slower effect on reducing blood sugar and can end up over shooting.OK I'm not good at this.
When I have an unusually high lunch reading my pre dinner seems to be lower than usual, by a significant amount.
This is the pattern I get all the time. Not necessarily up as high as 8.5 but by 5 hours after eating (can be from 3 sometimes) I am in the 4's. Think this means your blood sugar response is becoming more like those that eat less fat meals. Remember fat is slow to digest and so is protein so you get a longer flatter response and when you are turning fat to glucose this is also slow and controlled by your body. When you eat higher carbs you get the sugar dump which means your pancreas works harder initially you fill up your cells rapidly with fuel and you just generally tick of the glucose due to your low level insulinJust happened again. Bacon roll for lunch as away for the weekend. 8.5 after an hour. Before dinner 4.4 which may be my lowest yet.
There must be something to this.
That's really great!I am starting to find some things are not as bad as they first seemed. for dinner I had half a tub of sainsbury's taste the difference carbonara and 70g of wholemeal spelt spaghetti. Before5.1, 1 hour 6.0, 1.5 hours 5.3, 2 hours 5.1. Not a huge meal but satisfying.

That is strange. Your HbA1c is lower than mine but I never hit double figures.I wish I could get near that, two hours after a meal mine are still double digit, seems to take 3-4 to come down. I don't feel like my control is very good but my latest HBA1C was 37.
