[QUOTE="Rach612, post: 2416003, member: 539572"] Thank you for taking the time to reply. It’s a bit of a long story but I haven’t officially been diagnosed yet. I had gestational diabetes in my pregnancy (baby now 7 months) but my fasting numbers remained high. I have a lot of symptoms to be honest I suspect I was pre-diabetic for years and the stressful pregnancy has pushed me over the edge. The running to the loo has settled but I’ve a fungal toe nail infection, cracked heels, blurry eyes, hair falling out, dry itchy skin and the soles of my feet feel like they are burning especially at night, cuts that won’t heal, skin tags. At one point I came off keto carb crept and got up to 11.3 and felt ill. My HBA1c is 27 (on Friday) but I feel it’s only as I have a CGM and am keeping very low carb doing keto. Today my fasting number was ok so had breakfast 2.8g carbs; fat 40.3g protein 29.8g lunch was 1.4g fat 52.g and protein 30.3g dinner was 5.4g carbs fat 29.5g protein 14.2g (only have dinner to get hubby and nhs off my case). I don’t touch anything starchy. I am now underweight BMI 16.7 but struggling a bit without putting up my blood sugars. Stress is a problem for me, always has been and I’ve PTSD which doesn’t help and we are moving house. A CGM is really interesting I only sit down to feet the baby as I can literally see my numbers go up, it’s crazy! My cholesterol is now 9.something but I don’t know the ratio. You can’t win. [/QUOTE]
