Very happy my A1c came back at 38.
6 months ago it was 39 and a year ago I was very happy with 41 down from 67.
I’ve been on low carb high fat since I started insulin in December 24. Wasn’t a good decision to start both at the same time as I had a miserable few weeks… but I survived!
I’m only on basal insulin supposed to be once a day, but I’ve found it works better for me if I split it into two doses. I’ve reduced my basal dose since then as low as I can. I’ve tried a couple of times to do without insulin but my glucose level rise very quickly.
I’ve managed to do without statins despite an earlier cholesterol rise and weaned myself off omeprazole too. Cholesterol numbers this time were lower than previous so happy with that too.
Weight loss has been maintained and overall I’m healthier and happier than I was in ‘24.
