[Results] 37 weeks on 15mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring
37 weeks on 15mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring. This is a description of what happened to me and not a plan for anybody else.
To save the first four comments: 37 weeks and 15mg.
Panicked over a first-day sensor reading and rebuilt my week around it. It was the sensor.
Time in range told me far more than the average did. Two quarters with the same A1c looked completely different on the sensor.
Screenshot none of this. Read the whole thread, including the parts where I am told I am wrong.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Continuous monitoring shows the shape: postprandial excursions, overnight behaviour and time in range. Two people with identical A1c can have very different distributions.
postprandial excursions are where most of the improvement shows up first
Right, and the diabetes programmes report glycaemic endpoints. Quoting an obesity trial result here is answering a different question.
Agreed on variability. Two people with the same average can have completely different days.
Is that a first-day sensor reading?
Disagree — that is an obesity trial endpoint and this thread is about glycaemic control.
Have you taken this to whoever manages your diabetes?
Same. The first day of a new sensor is unreliable and people rebuild their whole week around it.
Sensor accuracy varies across wear, and readings on the first day are the least reliable. Calibration practice and compression artefacts explain many alarming single values.
the fasting number is the one people fixate on and it moves last
Not convinced. Hypoglycaemia risk from this class alone is low; the risk you are describing comes from the combination.
Are you quoting a diabetes trial or an obesity one?
Kept fingersticks alongside the sensor for two weeks to sanity-check it. Worth doing once.
This. Hypoglycaemia risk in this class is driven mostly by the other agents in the regimen.
