I have a question re how and when to intervene.
Background: I don’t have a T2 dx but my A1C is a little high. T2 runs in my family, and I have recently developed what may be a few classic symptoms. So I tested my BG during the last 24 hours — everything looked great fasting and at bedtime. After meals, BG was 122, 140, 147.
My question is how to resolve this contradiction:
— I don’t meet the dx criteria for T2. (Fasting BG normal; no yet-discovered random BG above 200.)
— People who have T2 should not permit their BG to rise above 140 after meals, in order to prevent neuropathy, etc.
— My after-meal BG is above 140, and I feel -very- fatigued and weak after meals.
Hmm. What should I do? Are there preventive measures / interventions I should ask my doctor about?
Also, how do you find a good endocrinologist? What to look for / avoid?
Thanks so much!
