I check my levels on occassion and everything seems to be OK. but then i dont eat things that send me sky high. Oddly enough potatoes affect me way worse than simple sugar does. not sure why. i could eat a plate of french fries and go up to 150 an hour later. I could eat a plate of 2 eggo waffles and maybe hit 115-120 an hour later. Maybe because the potatoes are fried? No idea. A plate of french fries actually does have double the carbs than Eggo waffles does. Just something with my metabolism i guess. My 2 hour OGTT was 90-120(1)-90(2). I don't think that test is good for much really. Who eats that way? I don't like that i am always around the "90" baseline though. I ask all the doctors and they say you're dealing in nuances there, everyone has a different baseline based upon their body type and genetic makeup. There are some days where my fasting is in the 80's though. A lot of variables. When you have idiopathic SFN you are always looking for things. I had a top neurologist said SFN, when Idiopathic, is usually pre-diabetes or heading in that direction and we just need to watch and see. They are seeing it more and more. So, of course its something i will keep an eye on.

Supplements like R-Lipoic Acid, B1 and Grape Seed Extract have had a noticeable effect on blood sugar control for me The three in combination have a great effect. On their own they are not as powerful but combined they are very effective. To be this obsessive is a blessing and a curse and that's what "idiopathic" will do to you. My wife says why do you check if all the doctors say you are not even pre-diabetic? I say, these are the same doctors who cant find out what caused my SFN.
