Can I Think Of Fbg Of 103 As "normal"-even Though It Is 3 Points Above 100?
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­

Today my fbg is 103-when I divided it by 18 it was 5.7. Since 5.7 is in a normal A1C range, why is the normal fbg range set at under 100? Nit picky-but I'm curious. I DO realize I need to continue lowering my numbers to a safer range though. My endo suggested I aim for 4.-but that is another story. :)

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­

I redid the glucose test and my numbers went way up then went way down and since then (2 days) all my levels have been about 1.5mmol/L higher than average (fasting, pre, post). Pretty worried I broke my pancreas further lol! Is that a thing or will my numbers go back to normal? 😰

What Exactly Is Diabetes Reversal Or Remission?
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­

Remission is now a consensus definition that states its a condition where the A1C of a diagnosed Type 2 Diabetic is below 6.5% (48 mmol/mol in the metric A1C scale) for minimally 90 days "without the use of any anti-diabetic medications"

To remain in remission you must maintain a sub-6.5% A1C, without medication, on each successive A1C test

What that does NOT mean is that you have cured it, rolled back to normal, can go out and eat pizza chased with coke or that if you don't slip one tiny… read more
