[QUOTE="Dr Snoddy, post: 2467118, member: 112460"] Hi, if it is any consolation I started with an HbA1c of 104 mmol/mol and been steadily losing weight even though I wasn't trying. I went into a low carbohydrate diet and certainly felt worse before I began to feel better. It was difficult to work out what was due to high blood glucose and what was due to sudden dietary changes but I had fatigue, brain fog, occasional headaches and bouts of dizziness. I even came close to fainting a couple of times and I have never fainted in my life. However, perseverance paid off, my blood glucose levels decreased and normalised within 6 months. You haven't given yourself diabetes but, like me, you probably have a genetic predisposition. Modifying your diet may well work for you and I hope you feel an improvement soon. Having said that I do hope you have been tested fully to rule out other forms of diabetes. Good luck with your thesis. I can really sympathise with just wanting to have it done and dusted! [/QUOTE]
