Wearing a #ContinuousGlucoseMonitor aka #CGM for the last 10 days has been a true adventure and realization that #Diabetes is a very complicated condition. I “only” have #PreDiabetes or so I’m told but just preventing my glucose spikes & lows has been SO challenging.
When I first saw the spikes I was shocked. But cutting carbs that were causing them proved to be quite complicated. And then as my glucose seem to level off, I didn’t feel so good and even went into arrhythmia yesterday which is rather rare for me.
I also discovered that there could be many reasons why this occurs. I am so happy that I am booked to see an endocrinologist even though it’s only in January. But now I’m also trying to move the appointment sooner.
I bet many non-diabetics like me have an overly simplistic view of this condition for which there can be, it sounds like, many causes.
I thought eating a #HeartHealthy diet was challenging but I think I’m about to discover something even more tricky.
I’m trying to stay calm but I’ll admit it hasn’t been easy.
Regarding my pre-diabetes I feel that being told to eat less bread and pasta was not useful advice. There seem to be an assumption I was not eating well.
Fortunately I have a referral to have this looked into. I cannot wait.
