Can you share what you've been eating just in case you're overlooking something?
Thanks for the response I do have non alcoholic fatty liver so not sure if that will also affect it, I feel perfectly fine only medication I'm on is trazodone to help with sleep and depression been on that for the last 10 years, and cosentyx(secukinumab) injection for psoriasis been on that for 6 years as for sleep I'm going to bed at around 3-4am and waking up at 11am, I do drink lots of fluid around 3-4.5 litres a day majority of this is diluted sugar free squash6 days is a relatively short time if you’ve been running really high numbers, your liver has a lot of sugar stores still to dump, keep doing the keto and you should start to see a downward trend.
Another question is are you feeling ill, off colour or on any meds that aren’t for diabetes, if you have a low lying infection or are coming down with something this can definitely affect your blood sugars. Also how do you sleep? Not sleeping well is another one, make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids, preferably water, avoid sugar free drinks as some people react to them as if they are full sugar
Don’t give up - the weight loss is great and you’ll get there
I do have a diabetic review tomorrow so will be discussing the numbers with the nurse so will see what they suggest I'm pretty much eating the same as I did last year when I did keto and the numbers come down so hopefully with a bit more time I'll see some improvementSounds like you're doing everything right to me. And what bad luck getting insulin resistance and T2 at such a young age, along with your other health issues.
I think the best thing you can do is see if those numbers want to come down with this, and if they don't to have an urgent talk with your HCP about medication.
Your hba1c likely means your average BG has been around 13, so lower than the tests you've shown here. Which is odd, considering what you are eating.
Let us know how it went!
That's a side effect so rare that it's almost unheard of, except for people who are very ill (like close to dying ill) already. It has also not been proven that metformin had anything to do with cases of lactic acidosis, not even in people with a high alcohol intake.
Just out of curiosity, I'd be interested to know more about your NAFLD.
I was first diagnosed with non alcoholic fatty liver in 2016 via an ultrasound due to my weight didn't realise It was anything to be worried about carried on eating rubbish in 2021 I had quiet a depressive episode due to family deaths and started drinking alcohol 5 times a week for about 10 months gave up drinking in October 2021 and saw my doctor who ordered a ultrasound which found fatty liver and enlarged spleen so was referred to hospital who did a fibroscan which confirmed I had fatty liver with F2 fibrosis that was the end of 2021, spoke to the liver doctor and told him I was going to do a keto diet as I've seen it helps with nafld and he was more than happy for me to do it, I also started taking NAC, Vitamin e, Milk thistle and choline bitartrate after 4 months of doing this I had an ultrasound and was told my liver looks normal and my liver enzymes were back to normal I never had any symptoms of fatty liver
good stuff!
