[QUOTE="DianaMC, post: 1889582, member: 488381"] Hi, I am confused at the moment because, although my blood glucose pin prick results are good - tending to measure 5.4 at fasting and often the same at 1.5 hrs and 2.5 hrs after meals - I am having episodes of feeling light headed, spaced out, sometimes near to fainting, or feeling nauseous. The HBA1C test showed 43 mmol - I understand that equates to 6.1 on the !old’ percentage based scale. So, following a low carb diet seems healthy for blood glucose. And across 2 months I’ve lost about 8-10 lbs of weight. I had a lot of fat around my middle, which has reduced. My clothes fit better and my size and proportions look more ‘normal’. I know that mostly sounds positive. But the episodes of feeling poorly are really horrible! They tend to happen when I am out and about, shopping. Or out in large and bright environments. I also feel more short tempered more often than before. I have a tendency towards low blood pressure but it can also be ‘normal’. Supposedly I’m doing the right things for reversing Prediabetes. But I feel more ill! Has anyone any possible insight on this, or similar experiences? Many thanks, Diana [/QUOTE]
