Glucose Spike, how bad is it?

Glucose Spike, how bad is it?

Have been battling daily fatigue, sub-optimal cognitive functioning for well over a decade. This is a chart of a typical day. How bad is this? A peak of 270mg/dL. This was after a standard bowl of white rice and chicken.

From what I've gathered this is shocking high. I'm 41, keep reasonably fit. Muscular/athletic build 5'7, 145 lbs, ~15% bf.

I have since gone down the rabbit hole of glucose curve flattening so am aware of what I need to do.

Here are my recent blood test results:

Glucose 5.0 mmol/L

Insulin 4 mU/L

HbA1c - NGSP 5.5%

HbA1c - IFCC 37 mmol/mol

Cholesterol 6.0 mmol/L

Thoughts?

Whilst I technically don't fall within the 'prediabetic' range, is it possible I'm showing key symptoms?

Glucose spike, how bad is it?

Have been battling daily fatigue, sub-optimal cognitive functioning for well over a decade. Decided to get a CGM. First day results. How bad is this? A peak of 270mg/dL. Plan is to get more detailed bloods next week.

From what I've gathered this is shocking high. I'm 41, keep reasonably fit. Muscular/athletic build 5'7, 145 lbs, ~15% bf.

Is my metabolic system fucked? Should I jump on retatrutide?

Thoughts on the distribution of EV novated leases?

ATO figures show that the largest beneficiaries of the tax break were those earning between $45,001 to $135,000 with 40% share, followed by 30.6% who wearned above the top tax threshold of $190,000. A further 24% were by those earning between $135,000 and $190,000.
