I was told I was pre diabetic a year ago, HAbC1 6.4.
now bg between 4.2 - 5.5
est HAbC1 5.2
i entered ketosis a few times (came out of ketosis with a few carb binges) back in again now at ketones of 5mmol
a few weeks ago it rose to 80 mmol for a few weeks.
my question is i am concerned that this is not good for me and i am not creating enough insulin still.
I do intermittent fasting and keep my carbs to under 10 - 20 grams a day
after excursive in the morning before i eat my blood sugar rises from 4.5 fasting to 6.3! then back to about 5.5 after 30 mins and a coffee with cream and erythritol. I also drinks glass hibiscus tea every day to lower cholesterol and BS. (i have not had any cholesterol readings for a year)
Im confused about this because the low carb app i downloaded won't let me input anything higher than 3.5. why?
I feel better for it, more energy, better moods, no ibs, lower bs readings, reverse pre diabetes etc.
1. i would like to know how to control my insulin levels for excerise routines rather than having spikes when i eat no carbs.
2. I notice if i eat carbs for more than a day i put on weight rapidly (5lbs in 2 days) I also lose 5lbs in 2 days when i go back on low carb.
3. I'm concerned that when i start to introduce more carbs my fats cells will double in shock. (thats what it feels like and i want to know if fat cells have a memory)
