[QUOTE="Midori2018, post: 1754023, member: 472215"] So I am 36. I was diagnosed with prediabetes two years ago (which I now know IS diabetes, just a light manageable form). Thing is, I am 5’7 and only 133 pounds..a far cry from overweight. I noticed I started feeling thirsty especially after big dinner parties. Was getting very bloated. Sometimes after eating a large dinner with friends I could barely fit my shoes on from swelling. I was peeing a bit more too sometimes after lots of sugar I noted. When I say “lots” I’ve neber eaten tons. I eat all natural, all organic food. But at that point still ate bread rice etc. When diagnosed my A1C was 5.7- not bad. So I started doing glucose monitoring. Most meals if I ate low carb came to be 120-140 one hour post meal. Sometimes if I ate out of had more food at friends it could creep up to 150,160 or 170 at the highest once at an Indian restaurant. The last month I saw my numbers creep to 150 after what I thought was the typical low amount of carbs I usually eat. So, three weeks ago I eliminated ALL long chain carbs: no bread, rice, pasta or flour. I still get 1800 to 2000 calories, eat high protein and lots of veggies. I am trying to keep my blood sugar one hour post meal 100-115 to rest my body currently and my A1C now according to bloodwork last week is now 5.1 which is awesome. But it’s not without huge sacrifice and work. I read recently about five new diabetic groups and I think I could be in group two. So far I do not have 3 out of the 5 antibodies for a autoimmune in diabetes. I will test last two this week. Every doctor has told me at my thin weight it is rarely caused by diabetes 2 and that I could have LADA or something similar. Anyone else not have the antibodies but have blood sugar issues? I’m u sure where I belong, if my body will stay in a holding pattern, or what I need long term. I hate having such an unusual case as I don’t know where to turn. Thanks so much [/QUOTE]
