I've been doing lc/hf since the end of June 2015 and I have lost weight (albeit not fast or drastic) and gone from 12st8lbs to 10st2lbs. According to some BMI calculators I am in the normal range for my height (5ft3in) and age 72. Others say I should be under 10st.
The thing is, I look scrawny and haggard and I'm not sure I want to lose any more. My HBA1c in September 2015 was 53 or 7% = 8.6 average but as it was only 3 months into starting lc/hf I know I probably made mistakes so I'm hoping my next one might show more improvement. (My starting Hba1c was 57 = 9.1) so not a huge improvement but at least it's going down so far.
So how do I manage the BS without losing more weight? I'm sure I've seen this question before but I've searched and can't find anything and gave up so please could someone either advise or point me in the right direction if you know you've said it all before. Thank you xx
