I know bowel issues can make absorbing nutrients hard, but usually when someone's numbers are high, their weight goes up too. You're not even hungry. You're high and losing. That did happen to me, as a T2, but as it turned out, that was rare and going against the grain.  And since things changed rather suddenly for you...Before we just blindly focus on the whole diet thing (and it doesn't have to be bland.... Dill, mayo, lemon and salt with a salmon is just fine, maybe leave off pepper? If spices can't be done, herbs can be quite wonderful!), but... Has anyone tested you for a T1 variant since this happened? With the weightloss and the HbA1c's bouncing around, you could've been experiencing your honeymoon period, which is when someone's pancreas is putting out some insulin, but not consistently, until it just quits all together. Maybe time to get checked how much insulin you still make? Because T2 is usually assumed until proven to be T1/Mody/Lada etc, -the tests are expensive- and you don't get checked for that unless something odd happens. And this does seem odd. Better rule it out before you make drastic dietary changes?In any case, I do hope you get to the bottom of this. And please, request a C-peptide and a GAD test to see where you're at? Just to be safe?Good luck,Jo</blockquote>
