I’ve just had the results of my annual blood test and my hba1c is now 42 ie pre-diabetic despite being in the normal range since 2013. I was surprised at this as I have been eating low carb (ish) as usual and when I have tested my morning blood sugars have been between 5.4 and 6.00. However I have been under a lot of stress lately with my husband, who has Parkinson’s Disease, being in hospital for 13 weeks with heart failure, followed by 3 infections (one bordering on Sepsis) and the Parkinson’s team over prescribing his Parkinson’s medication which resulted in him having a GCS of 8 when normally it should be over 15. He has also narrowly avoided 2 visits to ICU. He is still in hospital and now has Covid.
Whilst I am concerned that my hba1c is beginning to rise I am assuming it may be down to stress but wondering if it is or if I need to rethink my carb intake which is currently approx 130 per day depending on what I can be bothered to eat when I get back from the hospital etc. Am I correct in this assumption?
