I had my diabetic review with the nurse today and my hba1c went from 69 in June to 65 end of September.. and I got told off, told it was out of control and it simply isn't good enough. I feel a bit deflated as I have been testing my sugar levels 3 times a day, first thing in the morning it ranges between 8-10, before my lunch and tea anywhere between 5-7. I don't know what more I can do to bring my Hba1c down. It is coming down but just slowly now. How do I bring it down more quickly? Is it even possible? Surely some progress is better than none?
She did try and deter me from the LCHF diet and said I need to eat low fat options and more carbs which annoyed me (I won't be doing this!)
I just don't know what more I can do!
I too have PCOS. I understand what your going through.
I have cut out all grains and intermittently fast. I have found for myself that has lessened my symptoms a great deal.
I also have lost 45 pounds since March.
I know how frustrating it can be to lose weight and control your BG.
With POCS comes insulin resistance and as such it's important to try to increase insulin sensitivity.
For me fasting was the missing link.
