A fasting glucose that varies enormously

Can I gently push back on one thing? Not the substance, just the framing — you have written twice that you should be coping better. Who told you that?

What the opening post described happened to me too, in a slightly different order.

My pharmacist was more use than anyone. Ten minutes at the counter, no appointment, no charge.

Gently disagreeing with the reply above, or rather adding the other half of it.

It got worse before it got better for me, which I wish someone had said. About ten days of worse.

For what it is worth, the trial data on this is thinner than the confidence of the internet would suggest. Worth knowing when you read the posts.

Have you got anyone who can be with you when you do it? It made an enormous difference to me and I felt silly asking.

The thing that changed it for me was going slower, agreed with my prescriber. I am not suggesting you do that. I am saying the conversation exists.

Yes. All of this. I had the same in my third month and I remember thinking there was something specifically wrong with me, which there was not.

What helped was lowering my own expectations of the week rather than trying to hold the week together.

Coming back to this a fortnight later to say it settled. Leaving the update because I hate reading threads that stop.

I have been in this circle a year and this question comes round every few months. It is not a silly question. It is the question.

Similar here, and mine turned out to be a completely unrelated deficiency picked up on bloods.
