Had new bloods its 51 this time. I knew it was not going lower as not losing weight and finger tests were similar a few worse than last.
Not sure what to do and that's with Jardiance and a low carb diet.
I don't want to ear less as always hungry, cannot really do much more physically either. I am up in the night a bit too with insomnia.
ill plod on but its been a hard Christmas no Christmas dinner as he was out and been good with not having treats. So would not hVe liked it if i had indulged.
Nayshiftin, going low carb doesn't necessarily equate to being hungry. Personally, I find I have more hunger pangs if I've been a bit heavy on the carbs.
I'm not suggesting you go Ninja or carnivore, but I try to concentrate my meal planning on the protein and veg.
In terms of 49>51 (if I read your signature correctly), that isn't a clinically concerning increase. Here in UK, out A1c results tend to be in full numbers, so there will almost always be an element of rounding in there. Your 49 could have been 48.6, and similarly, your 51 could have been 50.6 with rounding in play each time.
Personally, when I got into a place I accepted my diagnosis and accepted it'd be a longer term work in progress, I allowed myself a range for acceptable A1cs. What that range is is only important to me, but the essence is a number plus, or minus, say 5.
Life doesn't always run to plan. Plans change, issues, illness, stress and lots of other things enter or leave our lives, usually in an unwanted way, and can impact how our bodies operate.
For example, my weight was rock solid for almost 10 year, until a loss led me to do a certain amount of comfort eating over a few months. My A1c wasn't impacted, but I have gained about 3kg. Again, not a materially worrying gain, but certainly a trend I had to concentrate to halt. Those pounds will go in the coming weeks as we're off travelling in the new year and I usually lose then, whether I want to or not.
Be a bit kind to yourself. Maybe just a bit of mindful menu planning to hopefully reduce your hunger. Regular hunger can never be a great place to be.
