Thank you for this and other posts today. Well worth the wait I have questions of course.
I have A1C of 5.8 gradually rising over the last few years. First, my yearly panel measures A1C and fasting glucose but not postprandial glucose. Is the latter necessary or helpful?
I am 60. If age alone causes beta cell malfunction, then what about aging is responsible? Is it overwork from having a high carb diet? My spouse who is similar in age and background and diet also has A1C like mine.
Since I have a CGM, I can see that many of my glucose peaks are like the red curves in your slide- prolonged. But when I eat a high carb meal then I get a quick high peak and prompt return like the green lines, but sometimes dipping low as well. I have been trying to avoid those high peak meals because that’s what I have been instructed to do by the educator.
