Why Don’t I Feel Worse?

@carbcounter I was taking Rybelsus, supposed to be more effective than Metformin, and didn’t notice any difference whether I was on it or off. I had the same experience with Metformin…just a lot of gas but never moved the needle.

The best thing for me, by far, is the continuous glucose monitor. It shows how your body reacts to what you eat, in real time. So you learn what to avoid, and when. For example my body responds a lot more to carbs in the morning, and much less so in late afternoon and early evening. If I’m consistent with exercise I find I can eat about anything for dinner, except sugar, without much of a reaction. Refined sugar is the one thing I avoid almost completely.

Have a friend who was on Rybelsus, didn't work for him at all, they put him on the injection and it works like a charm!

My bad time is after lunch, if I have even a little dessert with lunch my pre-dinner reading goes way up. Go figure.
