[Meta] the hypoglycaemia rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining
the hypoglycaemia rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining. Nothing about this affects the ranking maths, before anyone asks.
The diabetes and obesity programmes are separate, with different populations and different primary endpoints. Reading a result across from one to the other is not a comparison.
Incretin-based agents stimulate insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner, which is why hypoglycaemia risk with them alone is low. Risk rises with agents that act independently of glycaemia.
Postprandial excursions typically respond earlier than fasting glucose, so the sequence people observe is not a sign that something is not working.
If two or three other people have done the same thing we might actually learn something. Alone it is an anecdote.

Sensor accuracy varies across wear, and readings on the first day are the least reliable. Calibration practice and compression artefacts explain many alarming single values.

Disagreeing with this line: that endpoint is from the obesity programme and does not answer the question.
the fasting number is the one people fixate on and it moves last

britt_abubakar is right that the fasting number moves last. Knowing that in advance saves months of worry.
Panicked over a first-day sensor reading and rebuilt my week around it. It was the sensor.
Fasting or postprandial?
