Hi @Nelly122
Sorry to hear you're news, but liking the motivational tone in your post.
I think you could work yourself into as lather at the gym and still not deal with the real issue if you don't take on board the change in food.
I honestly believe our response to the diagnosis comes in layers.
And the BASE layer is a change of diet.
Get that part understood and initiated asap, and every thing else begins to fall in to line.
I say Diet .. But it is A LIFESTYLE change.
I am of the Belief, that the illness causes the weight gain, which then speeds up as we become less tolerant of the insulin flooding into us ....to help cope with the carbs we are cramming in... Because we become more and more hungry ... so the more insulin resistant we become....a rather vicious cycle.
So stopping the cycle, gives us the best chance of improving our health .
As said, at 48 HBA1c.. Caught that nice n early. A few changes should see you back into safe numbers in a few weeks n months.
Tagging @johnpol as someone who trains hard at the gym, he may offer a better insight.
