CGM as in Continueous Glucose Monitoring?

TS can try FreeStyle Libre, the sensor 1 month change 1 time, a piece of flat round button with a needle in the middle, press the needle into your flesh and stick a waterproof tegederm over the sensor. Bath with it, sleep with it. Walk through security gate may trigger alarm, then roll up sleeve to show them the sensor. Good for patient that need to take multiple readings within a day, just move meter over the sensor and press 1 time to take reading, want to view or dont is up to patient, end of day just upload the data to cloud. After a few months of taking, your doctor will ask you to provide the result for him to diagnose your trend.

Disadvantage is you cannot cheat, 1 can of coke will show spike after drinking and some strict doctor will F you for it.

I pity those drs managing diabetes.
So much is dependent more on the patient themselves.
Managed well or not is not really dr control.
Meanwhile got to talk so many things. Diet so many things to explain. Exercise also.
No bonus whether patient diabetes well controlled or not.
If strict well meaning doctor sometimes kena bash for being rude ironically "uncaring" and unfriendly.
Easier dont check anything. Just do glucometer when see dr. If high dr say aiyoh is it last night went out eat is it? Got jiak york no need scared should be ok. Be nice smile smile caring. Gentle. Later kena kidney failure just say why like that always got eat medicine must be suay or genetics. Lovely dr. Well loved by patients.
Super strict and fierce ones usually no one wants to see them ever again.

One dr say it's the chlorophyll, the darker the vege leaf, the better.
So these are the superior vege, not the potatoes.

Yes i think we are talking about something similar, but TS ish fighting diabetes, I think we should compare nutrient density vs sugar in the vegetables.

vegetables like potatoes, corn, cabbage, cauliflower, carrot, maybe can't be counted as "good" since got high sugar content, however it's always better to eat these than rice. Cauliflower can be rice replacement and it's a good choice. not say don't eat at all.

rast time usa also can argue pizza is a vegetable liao cos got the tomato zhup

haha, that one another can of worms liao, hot dog is meat, palm oil is butter, aspartame is sugar, fruit juice is fruit.

i use my case to give you an example.

Before Breakfast 4.5-5.5
Breakfast 8am (eat full)
2 hrs after breakfast 7-9

For me 7.5 before Milo, 3h after Milo 10.1
Like this, correct?

But also can say 10.1 before my lunch too
Since my reading is every 6h

Freestyle Libre 1 in Singapore is actually a flash but not continuous monitor mean u hv to tap to retrieve data but not bad..

I tried the sibionics one before and can just track without tapping... but with these cgm, sometimes u see the reading shoot up after only eating little bit of "wrong" things very disheartening...lol

 

[rawtuna]

Your HBA1c is around 6.5?
What meds are you on?

Infact after my bariatric surgery 8 years old, never do any hbA1c. I'm a kidney dialysis patient, hbA1c is not important.

Those results are taken from finger pricks during my hospital stay.

 

[ctan84]

For those jjww ,you can come to find me at my ward instead of hiding behind the keyboard

Ridiculous when I had already shared my haemo results

Put your ward and bed number down loh. You might get a fruit basket or 2.

Oh yes. Dialysis can control all your levels.

Yeah, like your colleague offer you a small piece of butterfly... bloodly hell, the reading taken 2 hrs later become 13 cos the butterfly is deepfried and sweet.

Next review with my doc, sure screaming at me. Lol

You think he is dr?

Dunno leh, maybe is nutritionist leh, so many hidden dragons in edmw.

Maybe is TCM?

 

[ctan84]

You think he is dr?

No. She's just a housewife who has alot of time on hand and loves watching and spamming plenty of such videos. Yet she don't realize that often the content contradicts one another. As an ex-clinician, this is the kind of people that made our clinical work very mahfan coz patients would come saying their friends shared with them this and that. I stand on this - saying you have good intentions isn't an excuse to siam from recklessness coz the path to hell is lined with good intentions.

So you are a dr before?

These days the more reckless the more viral it goes.

Drs have hard time doing and saying the right things.

Sweet potato has lower Glycemic Index than normal potato


https://www.webmd.com/diabetes/glycemic-index-good-versus-bad-carbs

https://www.health.harvard.edu/dise...lycemic-index-and-glycemic-load-for-100-foods

The glycemic index is a value assigned to foods based on how quickly and how high those foods cause increases in blood glucose levels. Foods low on the glycemic index (GI) scale tend to release glucose slowly and steadily. Foods high on the glycemic index release glucose rapidly. Low-GI foods tend to foster weight loss, while foods high on the GI scale help with energy recovery after exercise, or to offset hypo- (insufficient) glycemia.

Long-distance runners would tend to favor foods high on the glycemic index, while people with pre- or full-blown diabetes would need to concentrate on low-GI foods. Why? People with type 1 diabetes can't produce sufficient quantities of insulin, and those with type 2 diabetes are resistant to insulin. With both types of diabetes, faster glucose release from high-GI foods leads to spikes in blood sugar levels. The slow and steady release of glucose in low-glycemic foods helps maintain good glucose control

Mind to share your profession is? I see you so firm, just curious to know how much technical knowledge you are trained with.

I did human social biology at O Level..

I m a keen advocate of Food as Thy medicine as I m a living testimony of it: healing me of suspected thyroid cancer, endometriosis, fatty liver and now I m delaying the onset of diabetics as long as I can with family history of diabetic and my first pregnancy of gestational diabetic. I know I can.
I have also lost weight over the years gradually with changing my diets and the order of food I eat and feed my family.

Most of all, helping a smoke inhalation victim to heal with mixed veggies fruits juices when doctors were out of wits.

Doctors are fully trained in nutritions nor medicine.

I only take 1 seed of durians whenever I craved for it
Discipline is important

Doctors aren’t trained in nutritions nor medicine fully.
This is why we have dietitians and nutritionists and pharmacists

Messy to read your numbers...

Let say your fasting BS is 7.5, 3 hrs after you drank a cup of milo, your BS is 10.1

If you take 10.1 as your Before Lunch BS, how much you want to eat in order not to raise too high above 10.1, your lunch choice will be very limited, propably can only eat bowl of salad, 1 steamed chicken drumstick with plain water. Your 2 hrs After Meal BS will be how high? Must do finger prick to find out, provided you got take your oral meds. My guess is your this BS will be 12 minimum.

Every finger prick is important, it is use to determine how much foods you can eat when you are on oral meds. And if you are using insulin injection, these BS readings are use to deterine how much short acting insulin you must jab into your tummy before that meal.

The problem is drinking things like milo and thinking it is something not harmful to your body when you have a diabetic condition.

There's really alot of things with added sugar and if you try to cut down totally all of these for about 1-2 weeks, perhaps it will help you manage the blood sugar better.
