Hi,
My hba1c is 93. It was 81 last year. I need to bring it down. I also weigh 181lbs and im 5'5 in height. Today i saw my dietician and dn and they suggest low carb approx max 130g carb a day, increase protein, start exercising and go onto myfitnesspal and tell it what weight i need to lose and go by the calories on there. I'm confused as the last time i looked into low carb it was low carb high fat- she said i didnt have to do this and that she herself did low carb low calorie. Myfitnesspal has given me 1390 daily calories. She also said not to log veggies or salads, or the odd piece of fruit unless its not part of a main meal. They want to refer me for a freestyle libre and a pump (tried dexcom just cant afford it) but i need to do the dafne course as the edward course i did was ten years ago.
Just wondering if anyone has any advice at all?
