[QUOTE="Chez31, post: 1899083, member: 469976"] Hi all, I'm back. I loved all your advice and said Id report back. I had my Bloods done again last week . In the intervening period of 3 months I have slackened off on the carb control a bit.(my reasoning for this was to test my Prediabetic diagnosis. See earlier posts.) I have not gone full throttle back to the old ways of "normal healthy eating" ..that is lots of starchy carbs as recommended by the eat well plate. : . I continued to monitor my blood glucose especially after carby naughtiness! You might recall I had been dismayed to have no change in my prediabetic 6% hba1c result after 4 months of strict low carb, 10%+ weight loss (down to a bmi of 22 and 26% body fat) I'm bloomin more confused now!!! Some of my carby meals didnt make much difference to my post prandial levels and were below 7.8 at 2hrs post. Others such as sourdough breat spiked me at 12 one hour post and kept me around 7 for several hours after. So I DO have a problem with some carbs, particularly bread I reckon. What has really confused me though is despite these new carb challenges my hba1c has come down to 5.7 !!! Seems counter intuitive as I've eaten more carb in the last 3 months . I have lost another 4 pounds though ( bmi 21,4 and body fat 25%)...not that I really wanted to lose any more and i have excercised somewhat less. My fasting levels remain pretty much the same as they have always been since i started testing in Feb My thyroid levels ( also tested at same time ) if any thing seem to have become slightly more hypothyroid too.. which should perhaps, be expected push my hba1c up ???!! Doc wants to talk to me about my cholesterol tomorrow...so that sounds ominous, so I suspect its gone up.. not anaemic (FBC normal and Kidney function fine). Now womdering if statins might be mentioned tomorrow. Have read they can precipitate diabetes in those at high risk, especially women after menopause. Jeez ..what do I do next? Will let you know what occurs tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
