Hey Kevin,
Hi, new here too and from reading your post I see our stories are similar.
I'm 40, with PN that started without warning and I am prediabetic, which was found out after I too bought a glucometer after a period of paranoia
Also, I also lost quite a bit of weight in the months before the PN started.
Could it be that the losing weight disrupts whatever balance the body used to have about glucose handling and, say, now glucose gets higher because it has to be shared by a smaller body?
How are you doing these days?
Take care,
sUsY

I have a home blood glucose test kit which was bought after a period of paranoia, maybe I could do a glucose resistance test, or just outright as the GP to do one. My fasting blood glucose was good though, although I know this can still mean pre-diabetes.
