I’m Due To Have Surgery In About 2 Months. Doctor Says I Need To Get My A1C Between 6 And 7. I Don’t Think I Have Ever Seen A 6.
Part 2,
How many carbs do you have each time you eat. Be detailed. What diabetes medications are you doing and dosages.
What is your current weight.
What is your BMI.
Should be 18.0 to 24.9.
Your water intake daily. Should be at least 3-5 litres.
Exercise level daily.
Sleep 6-7 hours nightly, 8 is better.
What is your medically necessary surgery.
Why the tight time frame.
I need to ask you,
Are you willing to do what is necessary.
We have to move quickly on this.
@A DiabetesTeam Member, Try to slowly adjust your carb loading to about 50 to 60 per day. Slowly cutting your carbs allows time for you to adjust your insulins dosages.
That will mean 15 carbs per meal. 5 carbs per snack. You should see your weight stabilize.
If you are still adding weight, cut your carbs a little more. Try eating to your meter and the nondiabetic range of 4.0( 72 usa) to 7.8(140 usa).
All this should take a little time, because you need to slowly adjust your insulin dosages.
Did you know that insulin helps you metabolize glucose from carbs to energy. You should eat no more: simple carbs, aka sugars, and complex carbs, aka carbs, than you need each day, for daily energy needs.
Any excess carbs beyond those needed to live, is stored as fat. That fat is really a store of energy to be used in famine times.
Stop eating more carbs than you need each day for daily energy needs.
You should begin to see results, once you begin to eat to your meter and the nondiabetic range of 4.0 to 7.8.
Good luck.
You have to be willing to do some of the heavy lifting. You need to be willing and able to do what's necessary. Slowly cut the carbs and gain control of your diabetes journey.
Do it or don't.
It's your choice.
There is no try.
Do it.
What is your current A1C, @A DiabetesTeam Member.
What are your current numbers, morning fasting, befre midday meal, before evening meal, before snack. Also need 2 hour numbers for each.
Need to know exact date of bloodwork for next A1C.
Time is short since A1C takes the last 90 days of your blood glucose numbers. Since 30 days of that 90 days is already set high.
Thank you so much for the info.
What's Your A1C Right Now?
Confused 🤔
What Year Were You Diagnosed, And With What Type?
