Hi I’m new here. 43 years, 2 kids. Insulin resistant genes wall to wall (100% T2 diabetic grandparents for the win). Have had gestational diabetes in both my pregnancies, managed with low carb. Fell off the wagon after baby 2 and hit the carbs to “cope” with stressful job.
Last A1c in Jan 41 (reduced from 43) when I was working out more and doing a training program to lose weight.
I’ve been wearing a libre and spiking up to 12.8 after less than ideal meals. Waking up with 7.8. It’s all a bit exhausting trying to mitigate for carbs and make them work but it’s good to see it in black and white.
I guess I’m teetering on diabetes/prediabetes and it’s just a choice between that and carbs. I’m really not keen on the former so I guess goodbye mostly to carbs!
