Hey guys,
Feel free to read my previous post for a bit more on my story.
The good news is, my a1c has gone down from 13.0 to 5.0 in 4 months. No meds, just low carb for the most part, and exercise (200x pushups, crunches, squats, dips 3x a week, 20 min HIIT cardio 3x a week, alternating with solid state jogging).
The weird news is, my fasting glucose according to the lab was 40 points lower than the glucometer reading. I had around 110 (would have to check for exact number), but the lab came back as 69.
If you read my previous post, you'll see I test religiously, usually around 15 times a day. My glucometer is very consistent with itself. I'll test up to 3 times per sitting, and the readings are super close.
So what gives? Anyone else have this experience?
Sidenote, I had my C-peptide + GAD antibodies tested. Apparently I'm in the normal ranges for both (although the C-peptide was on the low side - 0.81). Granted I had been fasting for 15 hours or so - should I be concerned here?
Thanks in advance! And as my username says, F diabetes.
