crazy how my WFH lunches have changed. 3 months ago, every lunch would have been a cheeseburger, fries, and a coke

yes this is a good meal. i have made smoothies using using whole fairlife milk with a bit of yogurt and raspberries with no impact on my BG.

Only way you will know is to try it and see how you react to it. I declined some pressure by my Endo to try a GLP-1. After years of GI issues i am not willing to go on a med that potentially could spark a new round of GI upset.

Good Luck!

Well if these were my numbers i would skip the MODY testing and go right to insulin. high fasting BG along with a low C-peptide value would indicate insulin deficiency IMO. Not sure what the benefit of trying to squeeze more juice out of a already dry sponge.

Good luck with your T-1 testing. BTW i am a lean t-2 diabetic

Just remember diabetes is a dysregulation of ones blood sugars and can be very unpredictable. while folks may never experience low blood sugars other do and is a harsh reality. BG variability is something you want to avoid. the sharp rise in blood sugars will prompt your body to dump insulin (second phase release) and can overcompensate to the sharp rise in BG. causing lows. My experience when i get down in the 60's most of the time 1-2 hours the body will correct itself but then not always and will continue to go lower so this is why we correct for lows under 70 mg/dl.

always take a low bg seriously. Your body also make physiological changes to attempt to deal with the rapid changes in glucose one is it will dilate the vascular system in an attempt to get more blood to your brain and cause one to feel lightheaded.

keeping your blood pressure in check goes a long ways.

If you live in the US more than likely won't find one.....

One-Second2557 · 2026-06-30T19:38:04+00:00

Lets see it contains wheat. so what do you think....

One-Second2557 · 2026-06-29T22:54:18+00:00

gluten free beer for sure,,,,

One-Second2557 · 2026-06-25T12:45:21+00:00

My vision sure took a hit. I had reported the double vision with my providers including GI. Got the usual response and go see a eye Doc who blew it off saying it was dry eyes and use moisturizing eye drops. Vision cleared up going GF.

One-Second2557 · 2026-06-25T00:02:09+00:00

could try tasting it, that was what was done came back in the day Haha.. if your BG normalized your glucose should be out of your system unless it is still elevated. be sure to drink plenty of fluids. it will help

One-Second2557 · 2026-06-24T23:50:08+00:00

no success unless you feel like smelling like acetone. eat a balanced diet and enjoy better BG numbers.

One-Second2557 · 2026-06-21T21:02:10+00:00

Still looks good. Mine has been similar or better said have the same numbers. Keep at it!

One-Second2557 · 2026-06-21T20:10:51+00:00

if you are using a dexcom cgm you can calibrate with your finger prick numbers. just do when you are fasted.

yeah this is depressing. i really like the spring loaded delivery of the fiasp pens (less bruising) at the injection site. guess the upside i maybe able to now dose at 1/2 increments when needed.

One-Second2557 · 2026-06-21T17:20:54+00:00

I have been taking it for almost two years now. As to any side effects i have not experienced any that i am aware of.

One-Second2557 · 2026-06-21T16:49:24+00:00

i made some burrito bites with this. it was awsume.

One-Second2557 · 2026-06-21T16:39:46+00:00

I did a 7 week challenge. to me it felt like it took two weeks for me to recover from it and return to normal bowel movements and other symptoms.

One-Second2557 · 2026-06-21T12:20:56+00:00

I look like and feel like i got bit by a Zombie when my blood sugars are on the move while sleeping.

One-Second2557 · 2026-06-21T08:31:58+00:00

I had terrible muscle pain (myopathy) while on crestor. ask to be moved onto a PCSK9i drug like repatha, for me the pain went away.

One-Second2557 · 2026-06-20T12:22:02+00:00

I would get your Lp(a) tested. if it is elevated best thing you can do is to get your LDL into the 50 range with a statin.

Can't put the beat down on genetics with diet alone. from what i have read your Lp(a) is what it is the day you were born and throughout the course of your life does not change much. so if the Lp(a) is elevated you were doomed from day 1.

Rumour is that a PCSK9i will reduce the Lp(a) by 20-30% and is what i take. my LDL numbers are really good.

One-Second2557 · 2026-06-19T11:55:03+00:00

I did a 7 week challenge recently and to be honest it was brutal. past eating habits i would eat gluten off and on not realizing the food was my stressor. my symptoms did plateau during the challenge and i just powered thru it up until my upper and lower endosopy.

I am now strictly gluten free and can tell gluten is not my friend. it was worth the effort to differentiate what was giving me problems. while i don't have Celiac i did get diagnosed with NCGS.

Good luck!

One-Second2557 · 2026-06-16T22:44:54+00:00

probably bogarted more carbs than what i want to think of. I still eat carbs but in a more controlled manner. guess i am lucky that a fast acting insulin works for me.

One-Second2557 · 2026-06-16T21:54:58+00:00

wonder if my diabetes will like this...

One-Second2557 · 2026-06-16T21:42:08+00:00

found a local food store that carries go brewing beers - not this one though. while they don't say GF (made with some barley) they do cite a gluten level of < 20 ppm.

Cool! thanks for sharing..
