I am prediabetic. My latest HBA1c was 44, the one about 6 months ago was 43. I know this isn't serious, but it matters to me as I have been trying to do everything to NOT become diabetic. I eat a very low carb diet with more fat and about the same amount of protein compared to how i used to eat.
I have lost about a stone in weight this year, and am now just a bit overweight, possibly a half - 1 stone over.
I am 65, female, and in pretty good health. I go to a personal trainer twice a week and work very hard for the full hour. I walk my dogs and rarely sit down during the day other than to eat.
My fasting blood sugar was 7.9 on Sunday at about 7am. Would this have been the reason for my headache, by the way?
The GP who gave me the HBA1c result said that for most people their HBA1c just gradually rises until they have to take meds. I do NOT want to be one of those people. Her attitude is appalling, offering me no advise whatsoever. This is the second GP that I have encountered with a very bad negative attitude, and sees it all as a Fait accompli (or however you spell it.) And they disapprove of me testing my blood sugar levels As I am "not diabetic".
Please, can anyone shed any light or give me some advice? Thank you
