comment on someone explain metformin to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/t2dglp1 · 1 points · 3 months ago
check the trial population before quoting a result at somebody
comment on three years of metformin threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/t2dglp1 · 2 points · 10 months ago
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.
comment on how much of what we believe about CGM actually comes from T2D threads in c/t2dglp1 · 1 points · 10 months ago
Yes — time in range tells you about variability, which the average deliberately hides.
comment on [Meta] the glycaemic control rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/t2dglp1 · 41 points · 11 months ago
Same. The first day of a new sensor is unreliable and people rebuild their whole week around it.
comment on [Question] CGM — what am I missing here in c/t2dglp1 · 10 points · 1 year ago
a single high reading is not a trend
comment on [Question] CGM — what am I missing here in c/t2dglp1 · 4 points · 1 year ago
That is a sensor value, not a plasma value, and the two are not interchangeable at that level of precision.
comment on [PSA] T2D is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/t2dglp1 · 45 points · 1 year ago
That is a sensor value, not a plasma value, and the two are not interchangeable at that level of precision.
comment on am I the only one who found hypoglycaemia harder than the injections in c/t2dglp1 · 12 points · 1 year ago
Not convinced. Hypoglycaemia risk from this class alone is low; the risk you are describing comes from the combination.
comment on tried metformin for 12 weeks. here is what happened. in c/t2dglp1 · 126 points · 1 year ago
Yes — the person managing your diabetes is the one to talk to, and this board is explicit about that.
nadia_norgaard is right that the fasting number moves last. Knowing that in advance saves months of worry.
comment on 13 months in and CGM is still the thing I get wrong in c/t2dglp1 · 64 points · 1 year ago
Agreed on variability. Two people with the same average can have completely different days.
comment on the A1c question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/t2dglp1 · 1 points · 2 years ago
Cosigning that postprandial excursions improve first and the fasting number is the laggard.
