Hi, my name is Bob , and I am new to this forum . I am 68 years old , in pretty darn good health . I am an active male , have no heart issues, hr is 112/68 , chloresteral a bit high at 209 . I am not on any medications , and have kept my weight under 190 . [I am 5'11" ].
I have seen my A1c go from 5.7 in 2015 to 5.9 in 2016 , to 6.0 just tested last week . That is where I am currently .
I have always been active , and even joined a Gym beginning of March and work out 2-3 times a week for an hour . My workout involves 1/2 hour with weights and machines , and another half hour of HIIT. [high intensity interval training ] I was really anxious to see the results of the latest blood work , I really thought my blood sugar would be down , but it still went up ! I increased my exercise , lost 6 lbs , and my sugar still went up . My diet did not change , still low carb , lots of veggies , very limited bread , cereal , no sugary drinks or juices , only beverages with sucralose . I don't drink beer.
Where am I going wrong ? please feel free to contribute your thoughts , Thanks , Bob
