Hi all I will re write this again as I think I keep posting it In the wrong section! Sorry if people have already read this
I was recently diagnosed in September with a boarder line hba1c of 45 which had gone up from April this year at 38
My fasting was 7.8 and after two hours I was 11.1 on the OGTT test
I am diagnosed with PCOS and also I have an underactive thyroid
I’m under two consultants as my thyroid is not right and they cannot seem to get this right I am always severely fatigued I ache have upset tummy dizzy spells terrible cold sweats especially in the morning feeling of panic constipation bloating which even though I’ve cut carbs still happens dry hair dry eyes and skin
I’ve gained 4.5 stone in 3 years without trying I eat healthy but seem to just expand I definitely think I am insulin resistant and my periods stopped for 6 months which I think is due to PCOS
I have tried to follow a low carb diet cut out all bread limited potatoes no pasta cereal etc and eating lots of eggs good fats berries nuts meat veg and salad
My fasting blood sugars are going up they were around 7.1 most days but are now 9.1 sometimes my blood sugars will drop down to around 6 in the day but are now consistently higher than they were around the 12-14 marks after eating
I am taking 1000mg metformin
Thyroxine and Lirothyronine
Propranolol
They have spoken about referring me to glp-1 clinic more for weight loss than anything else
I am due to see a consultant on Monday at the PCOS clinic but feel I need to mention this too as I’m concerned my BG is getting higher
Can anyone advise x
