Hi all,
Well I am back, I was here about 2 years ago with prediabetes and I managed to reverse my hba1c to 38 from 42. I used the LCHF/Keto diet and intermittent fasting and lost around 22 pound......fast forward a year, I have gained the weight and more.
I thought I would get another HBA1C done at my work and I'm back to 42 and prediabetic. This has happened in 12 months.
My problem is the LCHF made me really unwell as I have colitis and I had to stop it. I do not know where to go from here. My blood sugars vary, 7.4 last night bedtime without eating for 3 hours. 5.6 to 6.3 on waking.
I'm finding it hard now to start this all again, I feel so fed up. I kept thinking it was the menopause causing the weight issue. I have high BP, my waist size is disgraceful and I'm covered in skin tags which I've since read can be linked to metabolic syndrome, hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance. I'm at a loss all over again....sorry for the long post.
