[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1824162, member: 94045"] I have no idea where you read that! I have never had a fasting blood glucose less than 5 in the 4 years I have been following a low carb diet, but I lost 4 stones easily very early on and have maintained this new weight since then. So your lack of weight loss has nothing to do with being above 4.5. Almost all t2 diabetics are insulin resistant with some degree of fatty liver as diabetes begins with insulin resistance and high circulating insulin - which also causes weight gain. All these are linked and in a vicious circle. High fasting levels, especially those that keep rising during the morning, are due to insulin resistance and fatty liver. As you had an HbA1c of 61 before your operation, that put you firmly in the diabetic range. As did the next one of 52. . Your GP probably had no knowledge of your initial 61 with it being taken at the hospital, and possibly he missed the 52 or he should have put you on the diabetes register at that time. It is possible your 61 was partly due to the thyroid problems in the months prior to your operation, but the 52 was still firmly diabetic. Your current HbA1c does put you in the pre-diabetic range, just, and is most likely because you had started to control matters. [/QUOTE]
