In an earlier post, I mentioned that I got lucky and started diligently collecting my data on Jan 1, 2007, before I was diagnosed with diabetes. This gave me some interesting data to look at.
At some point before Mar 1, 2008, my blood sugars started going though the roof (my A1c on Mar 1 was 14.4).
From this graph, it looks like I had extremely elevated blood sugars for quite some time. This is why I thought my diet was so great-- i was essentially starving to death. It didn't matter how much I ate, I kept losing weight. I was drinking a ton of water (and going to the bathroom a ton) to essentially flush all the calories out of body.
Once, I went on insulin (the little circle on the graph), you can see that my weight shot up!
Since, then, I've had to work to maintain my weight.
