anyone else notice hypoglycaemia kicking in around week 8
Check-in as promised in the title: anyone else notice hypoglycaemia kicking in around week 8. On hypoglycaemia, because the risk gets attributed to the wrong thing constantly. Incretin-based agents stimulate insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent way: the effect scales with glycaemia rather than acting…
Incretin-based agents stimulate insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner, which is why hypoglycaemia risk with them alone is low. Risk rises with agents that act independently of glycaemia.
A1c is a three-month average and it lags everything
Brought the whole CGM export to my appointment rather than one number. Entirely different conversation.
That A1c change is inside the assay’s variability and the interval you measured over is too short.
Small fix — insulin secretion in this class is glucose-dependent, which is precisely why the risk you describe comes from the other agent.
