OMG - A1c 5.6, fasting BG 5.1, cholesterol good (HDL very good, LDL good), EKG good, lungs clear, liver and kidneys good. WOOHOO!
Okay, that felt good (I know, excessive use of the word). Dr said my vitamin B12 is very low and I'm to take supplements (1000 units of B12, and B complex) for two months and we will retest. If not high enough, she'll give me an injection.
My question is, since B vitamins help convert carbs, proteins and fats to energy, might that be why I only lose weight at a rate of approximately 1 lb per month while eating low carb?
Thoughts /opinions would be greatly appreciated.
