Needing some advice.....Has anyone with Diabetes had issues with constant lower stomach pains? If so, what was the reason for this and what medication has helped reduce the discomfort?

Many of us, myself included, seem to be a little tentative in totally relying on what our CGM (Libre or Dexcom being the two most common) are telling us

We seem to always "suspect" they are reading a little high, a little low or really out to lunch sometimes

So just yesterday I got to put my CGM (Libre 2) to the ultimate test - I got to compare what it has been telling me to a lab drawn A1C test (my annual A1C test)

We currently have 3 main options for testing our blood sugar

There is the… read more

How can I have a bg reading of 182 and then immediately eat a meal and get a reading of 88 two hours later? The first reading was fbg; the meal was breakfast. This just defies the whole premise that food elevates blood glucose-instead of lowering it. Especially when the meal was hot oat bran cereal with half a banana and walnuts. (more than half of my daily carb allowance in one meal) I think I'll just go 'eat worms'!

Yesterday on Henry's daily call we got into a bit of a discussion about what A1C is "good enough" and I am going to expand some of my personal thoughts on that here.

There is some percentage of us Type 2's that seem to never be satisfied with our A1C even if it's (really) Good Enough.

Just like some bunch in wider society we are driven to do better, go faster, last longer, make more, build bigger or whatever. That can be a good thing because it drives innovation. Otherwise we still might be… read more

(the information below is factual but you “may” detect a bit of frustration on my part)

Diabetes has been around for a few millennia and in 1000 B.C. the first known name “Madhumeha” was described in texts from India to explain a disease that caused frequent urination that tasted sweet

In 1025 A.D. the first known treatment was developed in Persia, present day Iran, which was a mix of Lupine (flowering plant), Fenugreek (a herb) and Zedoary Seed (another herb)

(sounds like the basis for… read more

I want to propose an experiment to you to do. I have successfully experimented with an experiment on how to lie down to sleep or simply to rest. This allows to have a lot of success in controlling diabetes
You just have to get into the habit of always lying on your left shoulder, when the glucose level is too high or, is normal. If the level is too low, lie on the right shoulder. Otherwise, you risk having a hard hypoglycemia
This is an experiment that deserves to be practiced and you will… read more

Back to square one. I once had to remove carbs entirely from my cat, in order to treat his type II diabetes and believe that experience led to my belief (perhaps falsely) that carbs were the culprit with me too, when I later became pre-diabetic. I only now recognize that that was a bias on my part and I now wish to revisit the issue and test it out, if possible.

I *think* l read once, while researching feline diabetes, that by the 1950's (maybe) certain starchy carbs, like corn, had become a… read more

I’m interested in the Inpen insulin injector along with the Inpen phone app to calcuate precise doses of fast acting insulin. Does anyone in the community have experience with this device? Does it interface with a CGM?
