[QUOTE="Bcgirl, post: 2627962, member: 569488"] Super interesting conversation! here’s my update. my initial diagnosis back in October of 2022, was because I had A1C of 6.5. I attributed it to the tamoxifen I was taking for breast cancer…it is a side effect. I doubled down on the low carb, ditched the tamoxifen, and for six months my diet was super, save for a few holidays where food was an issue (Mexico and India). Carbs count did go up a wee bit. After six months my A1C was 6.0…I was hoping for way lower. I went carnivore (and quite enjoyed it) but my next A1C , three months later. Was 6.3! What the heck! This was just a few weeks ago. My LDL is a little scary but everything else is perfection. I am continuing with this carnivore diet. I can’t find any info but maybe someone out there can answer this….are some people just genetically programmed to exist with higher than average glucose levels? I just can’t get numbers less than 5.5 and seem to better after eating than before a meal..really! I do know I have a damaged pancreas from an episode of severe acute pancreatitis 16 years ago….cause unknown. [/QUOTE]
