Lowered a1c from 13% to 5.6% in a year, but now I can't eat any sugars for the rest of my life?
I'm still maintaining low a1c but I've noticed that whenever I have any form of sugar, I have a 60-100 point spike for a few hours. I'm taking metformin, I'm taking Ozempic, and insulin. I saw a dietician for a few months but she told me I can eat whatever I wanted. Apparently, that's not true. Just a cup of milk with a little chocolate in it is enough to send me into the brain fog/dizziness that comes with high sugars.
Is this something others experience with type 2 diabetes? I thought metformin was supposed to level this out or insulin was supposed to act exactly like real insulin, but that's just not the case for me.
