Hi janieg,
I have been following your thread.
Thanks so much for starting this thread. This is a very important topic.
I have read the oral GTT is truly the best way to check on how we handle glucose. The A1c is okay, yet really doesn't tell the whole story for anyone.
I have an aunt whose story is similar to yours. She had perfect A1c tests. She had been diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. She had good control with her diet and her meter readings were just fine. However, she was experiencing diabetic retinopathy and neuropathy. An oral GTT helped to figure out just what was going on for her, thankfully.
I stay on a very low carb diet and feel much better when I do so.
Thanks so much for sharing and for raising awareness on this very important topic!
With Love and Gratitude,
DejaVu
