Tentative question... HbA1c 81

Thank you. Halfway there then I guess.
 
You'll be better off for it. It's an invasive procedure. The nags can wait.
 
Or...weigh everything you are advised, take time to think it through, and do what feels right.

Just saying, none of us are experts. In either cardiovascular procedures or diabetes. What we do know is how our personal journey through this disease is going.
 
Thank you. I am trying to work my way through what feels like a minefield. So much information. So much at opposite ends of the scale.
 
Thank you. I am trying so had to lose weight. Not at all easy for me even eating very little.

Oh I gave up on the eating very little option a long time ago - I used to go very pale and collapse as I was eating so little - but never lost much weight. Once I realized the way carbohydrate is metabolized - or in my case, not metabolized properly, it took very little time to sort out that eating protein and fat was fine, just avoid the food which I can't deal with and normality returns.

You may find that you are not eating enough - I learnt the hard way that if you reduce calories too low your metabolism goes into starvation mode and begins to shut down your body to preserve vital organs resulting in no, or little, weight loss.
