I'm a 57 slim female. In the USA, pre-diabetics is from A1C 5.7-6.4. My A1C was 5.9 thirteen weeks ago. Since then, I went on a low carb and fasting diet. Here was my diet:
- fasted for six out of seven days a week for the thirteen weeks.
- first two weeks of 100 carbs per day, fasting 14-16 hours a day
- eight weeks of between 20-40 carbs a day, fasting at 12 hours a day,
- two weeks of 40-60 carbs per day, fasting at 12 hours a day.
- 250 mg chromiun picolinate, and 3050 of turmeric curcumin daily
- lost about 5-7 pounds (not exactly sure as I never weighed myself before I started)
- The missing week was when I screwed up as I went to an all-inclusive. Let's just say that I did more of a low-carb than what I normally would have done, but really blew it.
I had my A1C done yesterday and am at 5.7. I am very disappointed. Diabetics is rampant in my family!
Is this normal? Will I continue to drop if I follow this diet? What should I do? Any advice would be appreciated.
