Message: <blockquote data-quote="SarahHammond" data-source="post: 2699237" data-attributes="member: 540080">Hi there, I have been having blood sugar crashes over the ladt 6 months (I didn't know what it was at the time). I bought a cgm and it all came to light. For the last 2 months I have followed low carb but my average blood sugars are 8 to 9 throughout the day. 11s when I wake up and after exercise, 6 to 7 for an hour in the afternoons. I had a HbA1c which came back at 42. If I eat say a chocolate bar or sandwich (I experimented) blood sugars can go up to 13 to 15 for many hours. My gp says I'm prediabetic but can't offer me much assistance other then saying we will test you in 6 months. I concerned that 95 percent of the time my sugars are over 7.5.Also, I just can't seem to lose any weight.  I am now obese and it's depressing Does anyone have any advice please?</blockquote>
