[PSA] hypoglycaemia is not what most of this community thinks it is
Writing this once so it can be linked instead of retyped: hypoglycaemia is not what most of this community thinks it is. Assumed the weight endpoints from the obesity trials applied to my situation. They are different programmes. Variability dropped before the average did, which was visible on the sensor and…
Continuous monitoring shows the shape: postprandial excursions, overnight behaviour and time in range. Two people with identical A1c can have very different distributions.

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.
Correcting myself: 18 weeks between those two A1c results, which is too short an interval to interpret.
