What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

Morning everyone blue skies and nippy here in Lowestoft

Another night with libre showing a just under six straight line and currently six point nine when out of bed and active

After two months I’ve just had a letter back from the hospital saying my antibody tests are negative.

I will write and ask for the actual report which may help me understand my situation better. I understand that it’s my legal right to have this detail and am somewhat annoyed that the NHS doesn’t simply give me this information

As I’d been waiting so long for the test results yesterday I had blood drawn and testing done privately.

Take care all
 
Libre 4.2 had breakfast already. Was up several times last night needing to pee a lot. Guessing to get rid of ketones was reason. Fingerprick 4.3 ketones 1.9. most accurate reading from the libre2plus so far. Off swimming shortly and appt this morning with physiatrist took over 8 months for this appt to try assist with blood draws issue have. Majority yesterday in the red after pool so not going to do as much today went down to 2.4 during swim

Autoantibody testing can help to diagnose diabetes type correctly

When people are diagnosed with diabetes as adults it can be difficult to tell which type they have, as many symptoms of type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes can overlap. Some research suggests that in the initial development and diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, up to one in three adults are wrongly...

from the above url said:
Autoantibody testing alone isn’t a magic bullet, as it’s possible for people to test negative and still have type 1 diabetes. But these diabetes type research findings suggest that autoantibody testing can be a useful tool in the toolbox to help confirm if someone does have type 1 diabetes, and to point out cases where a diagnosis is less certain and follow-up monitoring and additional tests are needed.
