Can anyone help, please:
I have been following a strict low carb/high(healthy) fat way of eating for 2 years ever since been diagnosed as being pre-diabetic. (I do not take any drugs). Since then, my HBA1C has been 41 whenever I've been tested. Just recently, regular finger prick tests (2 hours post eating) have been creeping up to high fives and low sixes - my way of eating remains the same. I mentioned this to my GP yesterday who said that my body "is running out of insulin" - regrettably I didn't ask her to explain. Does this mean it is inevitable that I will need to take insulin when the 'diet' way of controlling things no longer works?
