Hi, my first post! Short history about me, I went to the docs last week to get the results on a blood test which revealed my HbA1c to be 41. So very close to pre-diabetic. The doctor suggested the 8 week blood sugar diet and provided me with necessary details so I could order the book.
Back to present day. I’ve just completed day 9 but the last 48 hours have been a real struggle. Up to that point I was able to go for long walks and even run a couple if miles. But currently I feel so so tired. I commute into London, and it’s over a mile to the station from my house then another mile of walking the other end. I’ve done this for nearly 8 years without struggling but the last couple of days feel like I’m just managing. Steps knock me for six once I get to the 2nd floor. Never the case before.
I’m hoping this is some kind of transition owing to the dramatic cut in carbs, maybe a delayed onset. Some advice would be welcome, has anyone else been through this?
