Hi all,
I’ve been a lurker for a while but decided to post and ask for some advice.
I’ve just had my most recent blood test and my levels have gone up again. I’m on 2 metformin a day but appear to be doing the right things.
I’ve lost 6 stone in the last 2 years
Exercise hard 5 times a a week for 30 mins (dance, HITT, rock climbing, running etc)
Most of my food is cooked from scratch. I eat loads of fruit, veg and fish
I work with a personal trainer at the gym to build muscle and lose fat. This is working well. I weigh in on a monthly basis on an in body scanned which not only measures my weight but body fat and lots of other measurements too.
Visceral fat around my middle has decreased massively.
You can physically see the changes and I’ve got the numbers.
I’m 43 and going through peri menopause.
My surgery nurse isn’t great. When I’ve had a test, she texts me to tell me the dangers of high levels and basically how I need to do more but what?
I’ve got an appointment with the community team next week who I’m helping may be able to help.
In the meantime, if anybody has any ideas they would be gratefully received. Thank you for reading
