Hello. Sept 21, 2023 my blood sugar was 580, a1c was 11. I weighed almost 300. Today my blood sugar gar is always under 100. Elevated to 118 sometimes after eating. My current a1c is 4.6. Times day I weigh 200. I’m a 64 yr old, 5’6” female. Fasting insulin test was 61, now 16. Doctor goal is under 5.
My doctor put me on a strict ketovore diet. No more than 20 grams of total carbs per day and started me on a semaglutide injection weekly. Plus berberine.
The injection has helped a lot with food noise and the ketovore diet with control as well. I still have 60 or so more pounds to lose. It’s a journey to get healthy. It’s hard. My biggest struggle has been emotional feelings about food and a husband who is a sugar addict.Anyway, hello all!

hi I'm Vicki and admittedly have not taken the diagnosis seriously until I was in the ER with very high blood pressure. My focus is eating healthy and low carb. It's been about a month and is going well so far. I have to stay motivated which is usually my problem but one day at a time! I have lost a few pounds which has been a plus.
Thanks for being a supportive group!

I can see the ER visit as a wakeup call. I have found that low carb works for me. I have been doing it since 2016.
Welcome!
