IMO, Having a tendency to insulin resistance may be genetic, but whether that means you are in the diabetic range, prediabetic, or normal is usually up to what you do.Can you pay for your own HbA1c? (I’m in NZ and we can). That would give you some encouragement in the meantime?I’ve found that once i had a few good HbA1c they changed my diagnosis to insulin resistant.There’s a doctor in NZ who won doctor of the year in 2021, he has hundreds of patients in remission by promoting low carb, so maybe your nurse is just one of those who can’t change her mind. You only need to convince yourself, who knows, if you keep it up you may convince her.And it is possible to not have the things you listed forever, though once you are settled in to low carb, you may be able to do unimaginable things like have 3 fries and realise that was enough and not eat them again for months!You’re doing so well! And well done for taking an important step in preparing your child for adulthood and coping while lots of other hard things happening.</blockquote>
