Default What's normal?

Well if I had numbers of 85-110 I sure wouldn't stress over it! I have a theory about how they are changing these numbers: to make more money!

My neighbor in her 80's told me one day she ate some ice cream & went over 400,now I was shocked since I've never ever had a reading in that range. This woman is thin as a bean & has lots of energy. Of course the ice cream was a treat & not something she does often.

My point in this: I think we have to look at everything as an individual. When I was first diagnosed type 2 I was thin & in good shape. I doubt you'll ever read about thin people being type 2!

I'm planning to go back on Metforim,can't seem to lose anything I don't gain right back. Also,I've neglected my B12 for far too long,after reading your post I'm going back to it.

My father takes Metforim,his fasting numbers are in the 70's,if I went that low I'd be crawling from weakness & sweating!

Just my 2 cents
