[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2333154, member: 365308"] Hi. Sounds like you are doing the right things by cutting the obvious carbs (pasta, rice, bread and potatoes?) and sugar. How fast you reduce your underlying insulin resistance will depend on how long you've been insulin resistant and lots of other factors such as any recent illness and stress. Thrush is a yeast infection and certainly reducing your blood sugars will stop feeding the yeast but may not be enough to totally finish it off once there's that imbalance. Hoping you have some treatment for that as it is so uncomfortable. I'd say try not to get hung up on the number (hba1c). This is a mean average and may include some normal blood sugars as well as spikes so I'd agree that as well as this average, you need to know fasting blood sugars then how your body reacts to food (2 hours and 4 hours) then its time to take a big breath and reflect on your tactics going forward and for the rest of your life.
