I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes on July 6th. Total surprise. My A1C was 11.8% and my FBG was 16.2 mmol.
Started the LCHF diet; got better at it as I learned. Started swimming.
I had three-month blood test on October 5th. A1C now 6.1%. FBG was 7.3 mmol. Fatty liver now normal.
Had doctor's appointment today. She looked at my daily BG log and said I was "doing too well." Now removing Jardiance from meds.
Clearly I'm doing something right.
It's been three weeks since my last weigh-in. Excitedly stepped on the scales. I'm the exact same weight!
I am so [expletive deleted] frustrated! Why can't I lose weight?
I'm 5'3". Started at 193 pounds. Am now 180. So, yes, I have lost weight but 13 pounds in four months is pathetic.
Everywhere around me I see others have lost 30-40 pounds by this stage. What am I doing wrong?!?
I know I should be happy with my blood results. But I am just so discouraged.
Thank you for listening to me rant.
