Hi I’ve only been diagnosed six months ago and it’s all very worrisome
My recent hbac1 is 6.7 but my daily readings are around 10 fasting and 13 in the evening
I’m trying to watch what I eat but I feel dreadfully fatigued all the time
Is this normal I’m not on any meds for this
You have insulin resistance so your blood glucose is spilling out into the blood rather than into the muscles/liver.
Your body's cells aren't getting the fuel they need and this can cause fatigue.
Getting a fasting bg of 10 suggests that you haven't been able to make the necessary dietary changes to reduce your insulin resistance. You may not have been given any advice but there are things you can do safely such as cutting back on sugar and starchy foods replacing them with meat, fish, eggs, cheese and nuts with plenty of natural fat to keep your full.
13 in the evening could simply reflect what you've eaten in the preceding meal if that was less than 4 hours prior?
The next step may be to take metformin (prescribed to reduce the production of glucose by the liver) but you will see plenty of success stories on here from people who made dietary changes and added a little exercise in. Early on in your diagnosis is a great time to make chagnes and reverse out of this!
