[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2186238, member: 401801"] Metho causes iron deficiency in one in every 10 patients, according to the leaflet... That can make your HbA1c look significantly higher than it actually is. And Metho can cause higher blood glucose levels. So I think you just may have your culprit right there. Still, needs must... My mom was on it for a while before she switched to tocilizumab, but that has its own -possibly lethal- drawbacks too, and for a prediabetic, pneumonia as a complication a few times a year isn't the greatest plan most likely, so... Yeah. I do think that if your diet wasn't the fantastic low carb diet it is, you'd be a whole lot worse, actually, and firmly in the diabetic range, which you're not right now. So keep at it. May not seem like it, but it IS working. (May want to add in more red meat and fatty fish though to get iron back up, in case that's actually indeed down.). All in all... Gold star for you! [/QUOTE]
