[QUOTE="Runica, post: 1802079, member: 469227"] Hello [USER=196992]@Jenny15[/USER] A potted history of my A1c: Aug 17 diagnosed at 108 and prescribed Metformin, started to cut carbs Nov 17 was 87, starting to struggle with the medication, continued carb reduction Jan 18 I changed to Gliclazide three times a day and took carbs below 50g Feb carbs below 20g, but gave this up after about 3 weeks March A1c of 51 with carbs about 50g a day, came off the Glic whose only side effect was to make me hungry And here I am. Initial diagnosis was a bit of a shock, I had passed an oral glucose tolerance test when pregnant 5 years previously, and no concerns were ever raised by the midwife on my standard visits when she would always check for sugar in the urine along with the other dip stick tests. I only had the diagnosis as we moved house and registered with a new doctor. The thing is, I read so many wonderful success stories on here and want to follow suit. After 5 months of trying, I find my sugar levels just bouncing back up to dangerous levels and cannot fathom why. Fasting levels are about 9 and always have been, even on medication. Perhaps those who are not so successful on a LCHF diet just don't post so much? I've just ordered some more keto sticks to ensure I'm always in ketosis, and I will push a little harder. Back on the meds, I think, for me. Thanks for the friendly listening x [/QUOTE]
