DESCRIPTION
TRANSCRIPT
Dexcom 7+ for Type 2 Diabetes management.
Allan Bailey, age 44, type 2 diabetic since 18 (26 years).
1st stent in LAD 2006, 3 more stents March 2011.
Started switching to a Paleo/Primal diet in June 2011.
Gradually lost 1-2 lbs/week since April 2011 (224) to now (201).
Feb 2011 A1c was 6.7, avg. BG 146. July A1c 5.9, avg. BG 123.
Overall view
Typical day
Switching to Paleo diet
Start of 3 day no glyburide experiment
Last day of no glyburide, resumed on Sunday with 0.625 mg (sublingually)
Another no glyburide experiment
End of no glyburide experiement, back to 0.625mg.
Things I've learned:
1. exercise (walking 1-2 miles) brings BG down consistently.2. buttered coffee, or 1oz of olive oil also does. Needs more experimenting though. Olive oil also seems to have a stabilizing effect on BG.3. Just having the real-time data from Dexcom modified my behavior and control of my BG.
