I was diagnosed as pre diabetic in January this year with an hba1c of 43. I was very concerned so took action to change my lifestyle. I started a low carb regime, cutting out bread, cake, potatoes, pasta and rice as well as all sweets and chocolate. I lost over 2 and a half stone in weight and started to exercise regularly by walking every day and joining the local gym. I was advised by my GP to get a further hba1c done after 6 months and I have got the result today which is 42. I am disappointed that the result is not lower after I tried so hard. Does anyone have any suggestions please?
