Are these readings OK, I am on holiday in Italy so eating things I wouldn’t normally.

Molto bene!! @CBeresford. Those numbers are fabulous. Xx

Looking good.

As everyone else has said, those look completely normal.

Thank you. I put the same question on a CGM Facebook page, and was told I should be flatlining. I am prediabetic trying to work out what spikes me. So far so good. My levels always return to base by 2 hrs post eating and I am averaging 5.5.

As said in another reply I have been told I should be flatlining, even though I return to baseline within 2 hrs of eating having any spikes is bad.

Yeah….watch some of those FB groups. Some are better than others!

Nonsense! There's a couple of studies of CGMs in people without diabetes and their graphs look rather similar to yours.

The only people who have flat BG lines are dead. By all means try and reduce the variation if you want but I wouldn't do it while on holiday, and I'm not convinced it's that worthwhile anyway.

Those results and graphs are brilliant. Non-diabetic people don't flat line nor is it normal to do so unless you are dead, so ignore these idiots on FB and enjoy your holiday.

Lots of people on here would kill for those readings! Looking good!

Watch out, you might get a diabetic vampire after your beta cells…

 

[CBeresford]

Thank you all for your kind reassurances. I will be doing a repeat HBA1c when I get back (I did one just before my holiday but the sample couldn’t be tested apparently so needs repeating when I get back.)

Very nice indeed!

Looking very good, and even people without diabetes don’t flatline.
Beware FB !!!
