[Mindful i Mouse] Second A1C Test

[Guest guest]

We both had our A1C test done today. Husband has increased from 5.6 to 5.9, I increased from 5.0 to 5.4. Since the test covers about a 3 month period, I pulled a report that showed what I had eaten 3 months up to the first test: and then to compare, the three months up to the latest test: It appears to me that I am getting more insulin resistant and that low carb is not " healing " me. Here I am consuming even less carbs than before and I am going up in the A1C! Husband has not been following his diet at all, and he admits that he needs to cut down again. I helped him design his diet, so that he has a plan to follow on the truck. But I don't know what to do about my own diet. I bought 100 more test strips and I will go back to square one on testing more frequently. Wow, I feel really stunned by this. I had thought I was doing so well! My mood has plummeted. I am feeling a lot of resentment. --
