Welcome to Stage 3 Type 2 diebeetus!

I'm no doctor but I am a keenly interested reader and I found this page to be informative. My takeaway was that Stage 3 is characterized as "unstable" as your body is responding in a different way to the chemical stresses the systems face. I found it interesting that they described the feedback loop of glucose and insulin and the organs that detect and secrete the components as a "thermostat" that is exquisitely sensitive (hence just one beer can make a difference) but sensitive in a very narrow range. And when the levels of the ... significant things are outside the range of the thermostat, the thermostat can't cope and OTHER, less good things happen.

Again, so, so not a doctor.

Grav, I wish you the very best. Please take care of yourself.
