Last summer I came onto this website for support after I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes. Since most of my relatives over 60 have diabetes I was very upset but not totally surprised.
I made an appointment to see my GP and got a small rise in my thyroid medication which enabled me to sustain optimal thyroid levels for the past year. Without the thyroid hormones being optimal I can't lose weight even in a calorie deficit.
I read a lot about low-carb eating on this website and began to put this into practice. Now my thyroid hormones were optimal I was able to lose weight and I have put my diabetes into remission. Since last August I have lost nearly three stone in weight, my BMI has gone from 32 to 26 and I am much stronger and fitter. My last Hba1c was 41!
Thank you to those who are supportive and encouraging of others. Please be aware when you discuss weight issues that many of us have thyroid issues which can make weight loss impossible.
