I’ve thought about posting this news for a couple of weeks but life gets in the way. 
I see an endocrinologist regularly for a non-Diabetes condition that I have. Because my mom had Type 2 diabetes, the endocrinologist started also checking A1C last year (I get blood work every 3 months because 1 of the meds I take can be hard on your liver). Anyway, last October, my A1C was 5.8. At the time, the doctor pretty much said (not these exact words, but this was the gyst of it), “Watch out! Try to keep your A1C lower. You’re insulin resistant now & you could end up w/Type 2 diabetes like your mom had.”
At the end of December, husband & I switched to a keto diet after getting inspired from friends of ours who have been very successful with it. I had blood work done in January & about a week later, saw the endocrinologist. By the time I saw the endo Dr, I’d lost about 15 lb. He was thrilled that my A1C went from 5.8 to 5.6. And was even more thrilled with the weight loss. I told him that I’m on a really low carb diet and he said, “Low carb? Oh good! That’s very good. It’ll keep your insulin levels low & your blood sugar more stable.” Fasting blood sugar was 80.
I go back to see him again in April. It’ll be interesting to see how my numbers change at that point! Now I’m at about 20 lb total lost. Still plenty more to go, but the fact that my A1C is now officially in a normal range is just stinking fabulous!
Not really broken up about it; much improved from the past. Sure would like an 80, though.
