| What's happening here?
Hi, has this happened to anybody here?
I'm LADA/T1.5, 54 yrs old, diagnosed just on 2 years back with an A1c of 7.4%. Switched to a low carb diet and pulled the A1c back to 6.5 over 6 months - it then started creeping up and the endo put me on metformin, which pulled the A1c back to 6.0. (BTW, I'm not overweight, if anything to thin, so I think the metformin is preventing liver dump rather than affecting insulin resistance).
My morning fasting levels jump around all over the place in a range 6.5 to around 8(mmols/l), but graphing them shows a definite upward trend, presumably as the beta cells slowly cave in.
Now over the last 6-8 weeks my fasting levels have been dropping! - half the time they're under 6, the highest has been one reading of 7.2. I'm due for a Dr visit next month to find out whether the A1c agrees.
Other than my meter suddenly going crazy - which I don't think is the case. This reducing trend started in the middle of one of my packs of test strips and has continued with the new lot.
Nobody ever spontaneously recovers from T1 diabetes do they??  |
