small win: CGM stopped being a problem at week 15

Discussion Well Actually ×8 Slow Clap ×1

small win: CGM stopped being a problem at week 15, and the part I actually want to talk about is at the bottom.

Time in range told me far more than the average did. Two quarters with the same A1c looked completely different on the sensor.

Assumed the weight endpoints from the obesity trials applied to my situation. They are different programmes.

Please do not ask me what dose you should be on. I genuinely do not know and neither does anyone else here.

The diabetes and obesity programmes are separate, with different populations and different primary endpoints. Reading a result across from one to the other is not a comparison.

My ALT moved and it turned out to have nothing to do with glucose at all.

A1c, CGM, or fingersticks — which are we discussing?

Right, and the diabetes programmes report glycaemic endpoints. Quoting an obesity trial result here is answering a different question.

Fasting or postprandial?

a single high reading is not a trend

postprandial excursions are where most of the improvement shows up first

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.

CGM shows you the shape, A1c shows you the area

Brought the whole CGM export to my appointment rather than one number. Entirely different conversation.

About c/t2dglp1

Type 2 diabetes as the original indication: A1c trajectories, CGM traces, hypoglycaemia risk when stacked with sulfonylureas or insulin, metformin combinations, and why the weight-loss conversation sometimes drowns out the glycaemic one.
