Signature

44 year old female, 5'2'', BMI 22.9 (was BMI 26 when initially diagnosed)

A1C July 2018 - 5.6% (37.7)
started low-carb and lost weight, lowered BP, etc., but blood sugar still out of whack:
July 2019 - 5.9% (41)
Nov 2019 - 6.0% (42)
I have chronic kidney disease and it is imperative I keep my A1C from going any higher.
November 2019: Got a CGM and quickly discovered I have reactive hypoglycemia.

September 2020 I took the plunge and committed to a 30-day very low carb way of eating. My fasting blood glucose has finally dropped into the normal range (actually even low-normal!).
