Thank you for your reply. I just think I’m eating too much and unsure how to carb count, that’s why I barely eat. Yes my HBA1c is non diabetic range but I’m keeping it that way by eating v little and exercising loads as it is just an average. Honestly I’m not dismissing what you guys are saying I know I need to eat more but because I can’t carb count I’m scared too. She said I would have homework like ‘eat cake you aren’t diabetic’. The said I have insulin resistance in the hospital as that causes GD. I’m being proactive trying to keep my numbers out of diabetic range on the A1c.Another source of accurate low carb info is dietdoctor.com. No need to subscribe. Loads on there for free. Low carb does not mean low protein or low fat.
No one here is saying follow eatwell/nhs/balanced advice. We are simply telling you that you appear to be obsessing when your levels don’t warrant it. The tiny amounts of carbs, and particularly the other macros alongside this, you list as your intake is overreaction and likely harmful in your personal situation.
You may or may not be insulin resistant. The only indication is some higher fasting levels which have other likely explanations. You are not diabetic with an hb1ac of 30.
CBT will not tell you to eat cake. It may or may not be helpful to you in other ways but you are making assumptions highly unlikely to be true, possibly to avoid facing the real issues you have. The same way you are dismissing or ignoring what we are all saying
