When i asked my doctor about insulin she was shocked…no insulin for me. Instead she said I’d get a glucose lowering pill (forget the name). My pancreas is severely damaged. The tail is completely atrophied and the pancreatic duct is tortuous (that word might be wrong…it’s twisted all to heck). Funny thing is that my c peptide is completely normal and my fasting insulin is low but normal. So many things I don’t understand….Snap again 7.0 here too! Morning All some great results and some disappointed @mojo37 wonder if you’re coming down with something and @Bcgirl hope your doctor can help (I have an incomplete pancreas and was told when I go over 48 I will get some background insulin while I continue to low carb). That was 6 years ago and am still clinging on). Happy Thursday everyone.
Mine are the Croissants and the Fish Balls, but not necessarily eaten together. Anywhoose, good work on walking on by. I used to buy the Linwoods products there, but they’ve disappeared so I now order them directly from their HQ in Northern Ireland and get a chance to hear a range of different accents too, Double-Bubble.Then Costco. I stared longingly at the almond flour crackers, my kryptonite, but didn’t buy them. Yet…
Did you have any stress-related issues? Stress/anxiety (or irritation) makes my BG shoot up.Morning all, 5.0 this AM, went down to 4.5 and stayed there for a couple of hours yesterday evening after exercise, but then strangely, later went up to 6.5 all by itself and I hadn't even eaten anything....
Have a great day.
I wanted to give you a winner star for your FBG and agree re all that you have been NOT told . It seems to be the norm that as type 2 's given no positive help and here is you tablets and off you pop .Morning all, my sympathies for those who are struggling and congratulations to those who aren't........
Fasting bg of 4.7 this morning at waking and xdrip shows more or less the same all night since midnight...
Had bacon and eggs, for lunch, pepperoni omlete, broccoli and cheese and (tirma ambrosias zero bar) for evening meal followed by 15km on excercise bike...
I feel that i'm in a good place right now..
I have been thinking though, when I was diagnosed T2 my doctor more or less said "chronic progressive disease, here, take 500mg of metformin and don't bother me for another three months".......
No further diagnosis, no fasting insulin test, no homa-ir or triglyeride numbers....we don't know if my pancreas is not working properly, i have chronic stress, my body does not make fat efficiently, or my body cells are insulin resistant, the treatment would be very different with each of these cases, and as for insulin, if my body is insulin resistant that is the very last thing i would need!... but nothing has been actioned, it's almost as if they want me to be sick....and given that T2 diabetes is rapidly becoming the single most expensive disorder in the U.K. one would think they would be a little more proactive...I had to beg to be allowed to try diet control and was simply told not to waste my time at this stage of development.. now, after ten weeks of low carb, time restricted eating and regular exercise fasting glucose levels are coming down and my calculated a1c is following suit...
rant over...
Have a great day everyone....the sun is actually shining here in Derbyshire U.K.
No rhyme or reason some of the time .Disappointing 7.5 this morning.
I wonder if the square of 90% chocolate right at bedtime was the reason?
Oh Omar! Are you sure about your reading? Not 4.72???Good morning from California.
