24th Feb 2020 Hba1c 7 and 53, weight 12st 5 bmi 27.8
16th June 2020 hba1c 6.2 and 44, weight 11st 01 bmi 24.9 NORMAL!
Yay! Well done me and much thanks to the info, help and support on this forum.
I would like to get these even better for next time. Although I have progressed in the right direction, it feels very slow, especially compared to huge drops I read of on here.
I have been eating very low carb (aim for 20 grams a day but often hit 30 as I love fruit) for nearly 3 months now (all of lockdown!), have at least a 14 hour overnight fast, more often now an 18:8 ( say 5 days out of 7)
I have rarely felt hungry, yay again!
To bring weight and sugars lower, should I
a) increase healthy fats (which I know I am low on and struggle to do)
b) reduce portion sizes
c) bring in longer fasts - if so how often?
d) more than one of above - which?
e) anything else
Also, If I do bring in longer fasts is this something I will need to do just for short term or will it be life long?
