November 2021 my HgbA1c was 7.2. In January 2022 I saw a RUclips video from Beat Diabetes followed by one from Dr Ken Berry. I decided then to adopt a very low carb way of eating. By September my HgbA1c was 5.3 and I had reduced Metformin ER from 2000mg to 500mg. I had also stopped my weekly Trulicity 1.5mg injections. Of course I was checking my blood sugar before and after meals as well as fasting so I knew I could safely taper my meds. I am now off all meds and my last HgbA1c in January 2023 was 5.2
Amazing!! You have reversed and fought diabetes succesfully, good for you! I hope and wish my numbers will be lower as i am doing the best i can nowadays, its a struggle but we should choose health over the struggles. Worst for me is avoiding rice 😭 im an asian, that means rice is everywhere and always on the table. Soooo difficult to resist.
Good job.
@@notfiveo That is great.
@@TheMrsdharmalou It is tough. One of the videos I watched said to cook your rice on low then put it in the fridge for 24 hours then use it. That is supposed to do something to the resistant starch so you can eat it. You may want to try it and keep track of your glucose just to see if it will work. One of these days I am going to try it. Best of luck to you.

Check out Dr. Ken Berry
He goes against the grain of big food / big pharma. Promotes keto & carnivore proper human diets. I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. Just watch some of his videos here on YT. Very enlightening.
I was diagnosed with prediabetes of 6.1 back in January. I weighed 224 and I’m 6’2. Currently check my sugar daily and down to 192lbs with a fasting sugar Level now between 80-90. And after dinner around 100-120. Slowly getting it back to normal I hope I’ll know when I get rechecked. Also went from 20mg of blood pressure medicine daily to zero meds and run around 115/75 now
I dropped my AIC from 11.4 to 5.1 and lost 132 lbs in the process of turning my T2D around. I did this in under a year and have maintained this healthy lifestyle for 20 months. I know many say they’ve reversed their T2D but I prefer to say it’s in remission because I know that if I don’t stay on top of my T2D it can come roaring back again and I never want to live that way again.
very encouraging are your words, I needed this ... feeling defeated at times. Mine is 11.2...ty
Waw wonderful. Mine is 11.2 as well. Just diagnosed. What did you do to dropped it.
keto/carnivore diet is most effective
@@seynaboumar697
@@seynaboumar697 drops carb and sugar, but most importantly intermittent fasting . At least 16 hours fasting every day. You Will be fine.
How on earth did you do this?
The background music is distracting.
thank you for your feedback
@Lady Die m not sure I understand your question? I havent edited my blog today, so no photo should have disappeared. Are you concerned an image is showing an elevated blood sugar level? If so, it is to illustrate what a glucose meter looks like and not the desired number
A little loud. Yeah
Be grateful for the information provided. Excellent video
It’s actually irritating.
You have been such a help to me with this video! I’ve been having a hard time, trying to figure out where my levels should actually be.
Boy am I glad I found your channel! Vert helpful. Thank you. Sub fan for sure!
Good information provided, had some trouble hearing the message because of the looped music in the background
Thank you for letting me know what is normal blood sugar level
Thank you so much for this amazing information I just felt the music was a little distracting
Thank you, sweet lady, for the great info. Now I finally understand the ranges so much better!
Thanks so much for the info it was very helpful.
One month ago I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes my cholesterol what's 200 and my A1C was 6.5. I know what got me in trouble it was cake cookies and ice cream which I have stopped eating. I am new to this disease and I want to thank you for educating me on it. I am struggling on what to eat on a daily basis i am eating salads with either chicken, pork chop or steak. What else can I have that will not hurt me. So far my 4-5 blood counts have been between 80-95 MD/DL. Thank you for your educational videos.
Thank you for the explanation of A1C. Very helpful.😊
Great video explanation, I always wanted to know those units used, it's 'milligrams per deciLiter' = mg/dL. Remember also that the GLUCOMETER NUMBER DISPLAY uses another conversion unit to 'milliMoles per Liter' = mMol/L.
I was just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes April 12, 2023. My A1c was 8.5. I’ve made some changes in my eating habits which includes laying off sodas and snacks as well as a thirty minute walk after dinner . I also take 500 ml of metforrmin. My numbers are usually in the 80s or 90s, but rarely go past 111. Of course these numbers are usually a fasting number in the morning and a closing number in the evening. Even when I was doing a midday measurement, my numbers mostly stayed within this range. I suppose this is progress, but I’m still early in this new journey and still have lots to learn.
My A1c 15.6 when I was diagnosed with diabetes due to my love for juices. When I discovered that I had diabetes, I was literally going blind. I have been hovering 5.6 to 5.8 for the past several years now...I walk about 10K to 30K steps a day.
You’ve brought sense to the scary world I’m now in ,thank you for shedding light on it
I am so glad this was helpful to you!
I've been carnivore 12 months. A few weeks ago my HbAlc was 6.3 (according to my doctor). Since then I've tested my blood glucose levels three times a day (fasting and post prandial) - between 4.8-5.0 without fail. If you are carnivore, do your own testing.
Thank you for explaining things so clearly.
Your videos are really helping me (personally)not feel so anxious.
I am SO happy to hear that! Thank you so much for sharing that & if there are any topics you'd like to learn more about, please let me know. Thank you!
Thank you for your comprehensive explaination on everything on blood sugar tests all in one video.
Best explanation on RUclips - Thank you so much ❤
I was diagnosed a year ago last April, I was at 93 mmol. Prescribed metformin starting low and increasing to the max. I was also diagnosed with haemochromatosis. Now off all diabetes meds, just on ramipril and simvastatin for blood pressure and cholesterol. My latest A1c was 42 mmol without meds, however I have managed this without any support team, the doctor who diagnosed me left and there is no permanent replacement, only locums. No dietician, no endocrinologist, no training offered, just two URLs to look at. The diabetes nurse didn't give me any target figures, just said I had no need to test, it seems the NHS thinks that an annual A1c test is all that is needed. I wasn't happy with that and bought a glucometer and once they stopped my metformin I decided to spend more money on a CGM to teach myself what I can and shouldn't eat. An expensive decision but I seem to have my type 2 diabetes under control, for now anyway. I do feel thathere in the country in the UK there isn't enough support and am so glad that Facebook groups and RUclips exist, as long as you can pick out the good info. from the bad you can educate yourself and keep on top of things.
Great info - music makes it hard to hear you and is distracting.
*I had very high blood sugar I only managed to improve my health⭐ when I found a WONDERFUL treatment,❤❤ if you want to know about it, I left the video in the comment reply*
es ruclips.net/video/faUrjc3PZ3Q/видео.html
Thank you!! This was very informative. (The music was quite distracting for me, though. Maybe it is just my computer, but it seemed to be as loud as your voice.)
Thank you! And I appreciate the feedback! The newer videos dont have the background music anymore :)
I have been diagnosed with pre-diabetes some two years ago, but let it slip because of the confusing information on the net, invluding all those warnings about metformin. Now I had a level of 250 and a HgbA1c of 7,5. Now of course insulin and diet change etc. I wish I had a better explanation two years ago and a measurement device to really understand how sugar works in my body.
Thank you for the video for me to understand my blood levels were
I am so glad I found your channel. It wasn’t my primary doctor that told me after so the testing he did on me that I was prediabetic. It was another doctor, and I knew nothing about what to do, how to control it, check it, nothing. Diabetes runs in my family, and I just kept drinking those sodas and baking all of those sweets. Now, I’ve found you, and in just one video, you’ve helped me immensely. So, thank you so much for making all of your videos to help us.
Watch Eating You Alive. My fasting glucose levels have dropped 20 points in only a few weeks of wfpb-no oil diet. So powerful!
Not one word about the "dawn phenomenen",which is a very real thing for me.I watch a you tube channel called "Beat diabetes" which has helped me a whole lot.I"m prediabetic and have learned soo much from the "Beat diabetes" vids.
Thank you. This was very informative. I was just diagnosed with type2. A1c 6.7. As of now l am managing my diet and trying to do some of exercise daily. At age 77 it becomes difficult.
Please may I just say Thank you so much for such an informative video. I myself have just been diagnosed with Pre - Diabetes something I name a “ a wake up call “ so to speak. Is is good to have a glucose monitor at hand if you have been diagnosed as Pre - Diabetes as really there no other way of checking what your daily level are without one of these machines. Thank you.
This is all new to me. My A1 is 6.4 and 110-115 after a 12 hour fast I an overweight 238. I’m not on medication at the moment . I’m on a no sugar low carbs diet and see my doctor in 1 month.
How are you now?
This is the best information I have received since I was told I was diabetic 5 years ago. I have the crappiest insurance plan there is in America. The local health department will not take the insurance, and I must travel to the next county to seek medical help. There is no diabetic care team for me; I am on my own. When the time comes, they will not chop my feet off; I would rather be dead. Thank you for this video. I will follow this as closely as I can.
Was recently diagnosed with type 2, I'm a survivor of Pancreatic cancer with only 20% of my pancreas. Struggling like everyone else to bring my numbers down to a normal range! Metformin and diet, but I am also very thin and trying to keep my weight up as well, thanks for helping, learned a lot!
I tired gluconize and it's good you look it up on Google
I empathise with you greatly . I hope you heal. Keep eating healthy and keep a positive mindset.❤
Very informative. I started Ozempic and my A1C went from around 10.5 to 7
Ozempic is really not a safe way to heal yourself. Google the side effects.
Thanks 🙏❤
Thank you so much for this video. I was just recently diagnosed with T2D and I'm learning how to adjust and how to reverse the diagnosis.
Oh I am so glad you found it helpful! I know it can be so overwhelming to get that diagnosis. If you have any questions, just ask!
Age 63 and reversed mine by eating under 10g a day....gave up all processed foods, all fruits which spike my glucose, all sugar. Used eating windkw of 6 house nothing before noon and nothing after 6pm. A2c down from 10.5 to 5.1 and maintained for last year.bahe 63 and have more energy than last 30 yrs! Oh and the wt fell off....73 lbs. Off ALL meds including HBp meds! Labs are excellent
@@marianne1959 that is amazing! Congratulations 🎉
The home glucose indicator device and when doing a blood test at the lab on the same morning can defer by 0.4-0.7 means if your home indicator was 4.7and a lab blood test can read 5.2
Thank you for the video, I was diagnosed 2 months ago with T2D
Most of my testing are done before I take break fast and its between 98 and 115. Am still learning how to live with and control my diabetes.
98 - 115. You're not diabetic. You reach out the limit. And if you are older than 60. It's a pretty good result. The older you are blood sugar is a bit higher than younger people
@@Hippy2021
My A1 C was 7 percent and my blood sugar was 302 when I was diagnosed. Now i have changed my diet completely. I am 55years old
So wonderful to hear the progress you are making!!
So, I need to know. Just recently my fasting glucose level was over 100 for the first time. It was 107. However, this was also a time of high stress and little sleep because my wife had our first baby. My doctor told me to take an A1C test. The results just came back. My fasting glucose level is now 105 and my A1C is 5.3. What does it mean?
It means you are doing an excellent job of controlling your blood sugar..........
Edit out the music for the love of god
Thank you. I recently lost 70 pounds and my numbers have gotten better but I still get spikes from time to time. My Dr just had me start reintroducing some carbs and it got me freaking out a little lol
It can be scary, but you will do great. Frequent testing is so helpful! If you have any questions ask! I also have some videos on best snacks and best meal ideas you may find helpful too :)
Great video . Very helpful info . Would have been able to absorb the info a lot better without the distracting music in the background.
6 mo ago Dr A1C at 6.4 and my blood sugar at 124. Dr said will check again in 6mo. That fired me up. Changed my lifestyle getting exercise and eating low carb. Im 78 and my weight was 210 and is now 170. My morning fasting BS after getting up has been 95-96. 2 hrs after meal still usually at 100. So I will get tested next week and am expecting better reading at everything because of what Ive done. My A1C has not been below 6.0 previous and my triglycerides always high also. Truly Im expecting to see an A1C at least at 5.7.
Dropping alcohol was one of the biggest helps for me to start getting readings where I wanted them. Also dropping ranch dressing from my salad and adding extra virgin olive oil plus including other good fats.
i was just diagnosed with Diabetes my AC! is 7.5 and I'm so scared. i don't know what foods are good but I'm so glad I found this channel. I'm on a mission to eat better and live.
I am "pre".... doctor suggested meds...I said no.
Did some research...you can do this naturally....
I eliminated sugar and bread (except on rare occasions when I treated myself)...skip any food that is white in color...add a couple glasses of water every day. Start walking every day. I saw results within 2 weeks. Also add a tblspn of organic apple cider finger to glass of warm water before bed. Good luck.
@@jesi3336 yes I got my A1C from 7.5 to 6.9 in three months . Still working on it.
My AC1test was normal 5.1% but then my blood sugar on the same test was 65 and it was low
I'm type II. My daily goal is 80-100. My A1C goal is low 5. Three months ago it was 5.9. I get an A1C check in four days. Hopefully it will be mid to low 5. Ozembic has helped.
I was prescribed Ozempic to help lower my A1C... But refuse to take it because of the side effects I've heard about...
Have you had any side effects from taking that medication?
She’s so sweet and nice my blood sugar just went up .
Thank you . Just got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I’ve been so confused. Just today asked for an appointment for a nutritionist. I’m checking my blood in the morning and ranging about 119 to 126. One day I had 140. What do you do if you’re too high??? Thank you so much to help clear up so much confusion.
You can have pre-dawn affect..
Eat fewer carbs..........
Exercise
Don't eat past 7 pm at night
I’m 16 and I have type 1 diabetes and I haven’t been taking my insulin. I haven been feeling good at all. So I’m going to start taking care of myself and take my insulin from now on
Not taking insulin as a Type 1 is a fast lane to pushing up daisies and dandelions. Cuidado!
Was diagnosed with type 2 last year. I have been using a CGM for monitoring my blood sugar and trying to make better choices based on it, but I’m still struggling. What struck me in this video is the amount of times “working with your diabetes care team” was mentioned. Do people really have entire “diabetes care teams”? What kinds of people are part of these teams?
No cgm is going to lower your A1c these people are scammers
Hi Erin, thanks for a great video. I have a quick question. When it said 1,2 or 5 hours after meals, does it start when we finished eating? Let's assume it takes about 30 mins to finish the meal, so that means 1,2, or 5 hours after 30 mins meals? Thank you Erin.
Great question! Timing starts at the first bite :) So you would test 1 hour or 2 hours after the 1st bite of the meal
Thank you Erin. Also Erin, I am curious about the blood sugar. Why can't we set that normal blood sugar to 140 all the time? My confusion is, when we fast, our blood sugar max is 99/100 but after meals our blood sugar max is 140 after 1 or 2 hous. It To me, that is over than 40 because of the food we eat but does that means that within 1 or 2 hours our blood has too much (over 40 mg/dl) if we set that fasting normal blood is 100? sorry for the confusion but I am curious between these two conditions whether before meals or after meals. Thank you Erin for your experise.
Mam thanks for the vid. Background music is too much tho.
How do you know. I'm now taking three readings per session and they often vary between say 5.8 and 7.1
It tells me these things aren't reliable
THANKS FOR YOUR EXPLAINATION OF WHAT A NORMAL BLOOD SUGAR SHOULD BE.
I WISH I HAD FOUND THIS SITE EARLIER WHEN I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH TYPE 2.
MANY THANKS!!!
So right now for this past week I’ve been freaking out because I started walking on the treadmill I have this thing on my foot and my friend’s girlfriend who’s a nurse asked if I was diabetic I said not that I know of yet cause almost 2 months ago I went for some blood work and I was still pre and a few weeks ago I went for a follow up my blood sugar level was at 91 and they did a glucose test on me that was 85
My blood sugar hit 49 before for a low and I hate having low because you can’t do much so I wish we wouldn’t have low blood sugars because I’m scared of low blood sugars because yeah 😢
I really can't afford health insurance but, I'll just get with my "health care team"..lol. I'm definitely looking at some lifestyle changes. Thank you for the video 🙂
So glad you liked the video! I definitely understand medical cost concerns...even one HCP along with supportive loved ones can make a great 'team' :)
@@HealthyMomHappyFamily What's an HCP? That's actually a good idea. I do have a brother that's a nurse. Maybe he could be part of "my team"...lol I'll text him and see what he says. Thanks again!😃
I need information on type 3 c. How is it treated? Will I need insulin sooner than type 2?
On Sept. 28 ‘23, I was diagnosed with 107 sugar level. My biggest “monsters” at this point are processed foods & colas.
I'm in Ireland and our reading for blood sugar levels is different 5 and under is normal
Yes! In the US we use mg/dL vs mMol/L like in Europe. There is an easy conversion calculator here too if that is helpful www.diabetes.co.uk/blood-sugar-converter.html
I always have normal blood sugar levels for fasting, however after a meal it’s in the range 160. Usually by the 1 hour it drops to 85 quick making my hungry and I start getting shaky . What could this mean? I don’t eat fast food or even drink coke or not even alcohol.
I would discuss this with your doctor. It could mean you have insulin resistance/prediabetes and they can do blood work to check for this. Was it recommended previously that you check your blood sugar after eating? The rapid drop could also be a sign you might benefit from working with a dietitian to stabilize blood sugar levels so you feel better after meals as well :)
Can lemon water after every meal help to lower blood glucose level?
4 and 8 feeling great 5 and feeling fine I’m from Canada
Thank you so much for your valuable video, but the background music is so distracted and annoying. I tried to listen every word you said but I have to rewind so many times in order to listen all your words. Thanks.
Im screwed lol good video. In still learning
I’m pre diabetic originally diagnosed with an A1C of 6.2 I lowered it to 5.9 and I got pregnant shortly after. My fasting numbers have been good but once I eat I spike and now I’m starting to get nervous . I have an upcoming A1C in a few weeks and I’m stressing I haven’t been eating great but I’ve also haven’t consumed food like I use to and don’t have sugar
Please tell what your glucose levels where at when you where pre diabetic???? I'm diagnosed with gastroparesis and 108 but I know that probably doesn't mean anything but I'm tired of gastroparesis thing i need to find a cause
@@hurricane_valenceMine was 109. Im fine during the day and after meals. I just have high fasting glucose. I have to eat totally clean to get under 100.
Hello. I am a friend of the family. My BFF, Kay, Passed a year ago. And, after 7mo, the surviving husband was not able to live on his own, financially. Today, he shares my home. That has evolved into becoming his in-home care-provider. I am new to the daily+ testing for the glucose levels. Question. Do I turn-on the little Monitor before I insert the test-strip? or, does it turn-on automatically upon the insertion of the test-strip? Thank You, SharonZ WA
It will turn on when you insert the test strip...
I don't know if I'm pre diabetic or not. Can you suggest a testing schedule ?
You can test every 3 months to see where blood sugar levels are. Your A1C is the average over 3 months.
@@lggordon9970 yes very good advice! A1c every 3-6 months and also discuss with your healthcare team is home glucose monitoring might be right for you now as well. I find this very helpful for my clients with prediabetes.
Do the glucose/insulin curve test of course after fasting glucose And HBAC1
Are you on Instagram and do you have a blog?
Great info, but the music is too loud. It's hard to hear what you saying.
I bought the blood glucose monitor because I have low blood sugar. I am hypoglycemic. I am trying to find out if some of my symptoms are from not eating enough and often enough. I want to have some data to give my body doctor before my next physical.
I discovered many supplements caused my hypoglycemia. I use a 200 dollar a month glucose monitor. I went from 6.1- 5.7 I am really thin and need to eat carbs but if I had to I would lower my carb intake. I eat four times a day.
My A1C actually is 6.1 prediabetic , i was in 7 diabetic how lower my blood sugar ? try to take diet food excesise and drink lots water only i used medication is my sugar is 130 plus , sometimes i don't take it medication for one month two years ago my sugar is in 5.3 excellent
Wonderful info. Maybe better video without music.
So glad you liked it! And yes...my more recent videos I got rid of the background music :)
I been testing my blood sugar levels just started today and i was 86 hour after gym. Then ate and hour later 96 but I didn’t have a carb rich meal at all today. I’m also pregnant and i was prediabetic before becoming pregnant. So now im just trying to stay active. But they saying basically my a1c went from 5.7 to 5.8 im not sure if that’s simply because it was two separate doctors who tested me or if i am creeping up on diabetes charts
I wouldn't worry too much. Both of those are normal readings and blood sugar will fluctuate throughout the day. As long as you look at the average trend of blood sugar over time and see it is staying within normal ranges, I wouldn't worry too much. But definitely monitor & follow your doctor's instructions, especially during pregnancy - congratulations!
@@HealthyMomHappyFamily thanks! Just don’t want to be high risk or anything
@@butlertv3058 Totally! You are very smart to monitor it!
Please it break down with the next machine reading in 6.1 or 7.1 ? Thanks
I have a fasting blood sugar of 125 and my insulin 126. Am I diabetic? ❤
The A1C blood test sounds a bit bogus to me. I don’t understand how one test can show an average blood glucose over a three month period. It would make better sense to take a test daily, then find an average.
Exactly.
What do you do when your blood sugar is low mine drops down after I eat and stays down and I never know what to eat to bring it back up fort don't drop down fast again
This is such useful information and I really needed to know this. But I just can’t cope with the load unnecessary background piano music! 😖 Even if there subtitles I would have watched till the end, but 2 minutes in and I’m getting a headache!
Thank you for your feedback :) You will notice more recent videos do not have the background music :)
What does it mean if I have a fasting blood sugar that would be considered pre diabetes, but my blood sugar goes down after I eat?
My A1C is 8.3, wat is the range my blood sugar be at
I know i am diabetic, but want to know are level between 200 to 250 after lunch very bad ?
i was dignosewith stage one i been taken pills and over a month i average 105 to 125 overnight fasting average 105 -113 i take farika one a day in the 30 days im 82 years old so in my thinking 105 to 120 might be my sweet spot ill never get to 6,5 what do you think am i ok i feel great i dont drink soda i eat alot fiber breakfast is fiber fruit like bluberrie, starwberries in my cerals i blend 1/4 tea spoon of cinnamom, turmic, cumin. in my almonond milk mixed with the cerale
I joined the club for type 2 , they precribe me 500 mg of Metamorphin in the morning and one taken before bed . It made me feel so thirsty throughout the day drinking tons of water . I reduce the intake of only 500mg. and that did the trick , still thirsty , but not as Bad as before . I am looking to replace it with Berbidine . and see if that is better for me .
Does someone know if it’s normal to have blood sugars in the 80-85 range 1 hour after eating ? My fasting blood sugar is around 70-75 and I eat mostly plants with some cheese and brown bread from time to time. All my research indicate that Blood glucose should peak after 1hr but mine is in the Normal range even after I eat. What’s going on ? Why is it low ?
You need to talk to your doctor about low blood sugar, and document everything
My A1c is 5.0 then it went to a 4.9 . I have issues with my stomach. My sugar goes up high but crashes and I can’t keep my sugar stable . I’m worried
What did you do lose weight,or keto diet.
does weight loss help I was diagnosed with a 5.6 I was weighing 195 now i'm at 148 could that help
Yes......
great thanks I brought my a1c down to 5.3
Mine is low
Not high
So I’m trying to understand what am I suppose to hope it gets to ?
I bought a reader untill my first doc apt for this on Monday
But the nurse checked it was at 54 and was telling me to eat and I did everything she said
But I till Monday comes I want to try n get what this is all about
You could be eating too many carbs before bed, or taking supplements that cause hypoglycemia. Get a Continous glucose monitor. Dont take ascorbic acid
So for me (not diabetic) my blood sugar comes down to 77-84 2 hours after eating. Is that desirable?
My heart just keeps thanking you and thanking you Dr Igudia for all you have done for me, you gave me your words that you could heal any sickness or disease, thank you for permanently curing me of my Type 2 Diabetes you are amazing.
my doctor wanted me test my sugar level he wanted me come back in a month its this Monday i go back to doctors my lowest it been at 7.2 so far it usely 9.2. to 12.5 in mornings . i take metformin
My A1C is 7.1 and my blood sugar is 200.
I'm 28 years old my blood sugar is 91 is it possible that I have diabetes If I experience some symptoms of diabetes such as numbness at night,itching despite this blood sugar level I have?
Definitely ask your physician to check more than just fasting levels. An A1c test can give you much better insight, especially with symptoms. But those symptoms may be coming from other reasons as well.
i just had blood work done my glucose was 99 , my doctor is not concern at ,he told me that i am not diabetic ,, but i am trying to lower that on my own and not doctors request
My A1C is 9.7. Just found out. How bad is that
Use a glucometer to find out what spikes your glucose!! I found out oatmeal and bananas are the worst!! Pretty much eat meat, lots of butter , occasionally non starchy vegetables and salad
Sometimes it’s high in the morning due to lack of sleep. Otherwise it’s manageable. Is this normal
Yes! Lack of sleep increases insulin resistance and stress, which is why your BS runs higher. I have a free 5-Day sleep challenge you may want to try to help :)
I have been neglecting getting a check-up of my t2 diabetes, but trying to eat properly, i have testing kit but again not been using it, today 1st march had breakfast at 8.30 cornflakes small banana but didn't check till 1.30, it was 143 is this worrying, i am 77.
Yes that is an indication of pre diabetes or diabetes. Seek a doctor. Dont eat bananas or any fruit unless it’s dragon fruit and small piece . You need oils proteins and small amount of carbs in the am. Get a scale and invest in a CGM if you can’t afford one get a glucose monitor. Seek real medical advice since I am not a doctor but some one with pre diabetes who invested in a CGM
