Let me tell you how much of my life I gave up, and maybe you'll be able to relate.
- No bread, no rice, no pasta
- Walking after every single meal, rain or shine
- Saying "no thank you" at every family dinner while everyone else enjoyed themselves
- Skipping parties because I couldn't trust myself around food
I did everything my doctor and the internet said would work.
Let me tell you, none of it worked.
Cutting carbs? I did that and felt so weak, I had to sit down during my work meetings.
Walking after every meal for eight months? Even in the rain, even when I was exhausted, and my A1C still climbed.
I watched my husband and kids eat pasta while I ate plain chicken and vegetables. Night after night for eight months straight.
Oh, and the supplements? I tried those too:
- Berberine pills that upset my stomach
- Cinnamon capsules that did absolutely nothing
- Apple cider vinegar made me gag every morning
Nothing worked.
And every time my A1C went up, I felt worse.
Maybe the problem was me.
Maybe I wasn't disciplined enough…
Maybe I had one too many "cheat meals"…
Maybe I'd damaged my body beyond repair…
That's the thing nobody talks about.
How much this destroys you when you give up everything you love.
Here's what no one told me until I found this one study that changed everything I thought I knew about my rising A1C.
