    I think we have a new winner, but a big challenge to come ( atypical story)

    Hey guys, It's been a while I haven't posted here and tbh I'm not a very active member, so here is the little background: been diagnosed with pre diabetes and insulin resistance in 2020. My labs were showing high fasting glucose combine with a high fasting insulin ( aka Insulin resistance). I...

    Anorexia- Pre diabetes - false good a1c-

    Well as I'm vegetarian and I have egg intolerance, I have difficulty to enjoy something that won't spike me. When I eat cucumber, Mizo soup and cauliflower it doesn't spike me but this is not a lot of calories... and so the anorexic me is very happy but I know that my body ask for more. As...

    Anorexia- Pre diabetes - false good a1c-

    I don’t know if it’s the good place to write this, maybe it would fit better in an ED forum but let’s so if anyone can help me. So I’m having insulin resistance and pre diabetes but also developed anorexia nervosa 2 years ago. I’m currently relapsing with anorexia and barely eat anything of my...

    Anorexia and pre-diabetes

    Thank you for your feedback, indeed I see lot of similarities between what you experienced and what is happening to me. I have an history of anorexia at teen age as well. Same for vegetarian, I have stopped to eat meat since my 13 years old. So I guess we have the same way to deal with food. I...

    Anorexia and pre-diabetes

    Anorexia and pre-diabetes

    Thank you for the fedback , I can try to take my BS after 4h and see how it goes. I have too much insulin going while they tested me 2 times with a fasting insulin test. It was 17 and 19 pmol/L and it should be between 2 to 5 to be considered normal. My HOMA ratio was elevated I don’t know if...

    Anorexia and pre-diabetes

    I agree with you and yes… I need adjustment. For meat is really the fact that the meat industry is in my eyes absolutely horrendous. It’s really an ethical positioning I have. Same for fish , I don’t eat it. I wish for some other options than metformin , so far it’s the only they have...

    Anorexia and pre-diabetes

    Thank you for the suggestion, yes i can try to check with a slice of bread as it will still be under the 20 g. Before I’m always at about 110 . Not tested for T1 as my pancreas is producing too much insulin , so it’s rather the opposite problem of t1 diabetes.

    Anorexia and pre-diabetes

    Yes… and it’s indeed too low calories about 800. But I sincerely wonder where to find the calories as I eat mostly salad with eggs/ cheese/ tofu… It’s a normal size plate I’ m making so I don’t see what I can eat more to have more calories I would dream to have juice , icetea, pasta….

    Anorexia and pre-diabetes

    So you think I should snack more? I m currently not taking breakfast or snack because I’ve seen it’s bad for insulin, that it spike it and so increases the insulin resistance. Will it be okay for me to add snack?

    Anorexia and pre-diabetes

    Thank you so much , well from what I’m testing my body is getting hyper with more than 50g of carbs a meal … I can reach up to 280 /300 mg/dl if I eat more than 50g . So I’m pretty limitated because of that. What I’m eating everyday is salad with olive oild goat cheese, nuts,tofu, soya...

    Anorexia and pre-diabetes

    Well I think they base it on my BMI , + the fact that I don’t want to eat meat, and fear so much for the carbs. The also push on metformin so I can eat more carbs but it made me sick to take metformin so I refuse. Then they eventually consider that I don’t want to make change and try to gain...
