Can’t believe how high it was

Just got my fasting insulin reading back from my doctor. I’m honestly shocked. It was 42. 😬

Ive never had a glucose reading above the normal range or a high A1c.

I’ve been dealing with a cluster of other chronic issues for years and it’s tough to get more bad news.

I am overweight and have struggled to lose it. This year I’ve been working on increasing exercise and eating at a deficit. I just got used to that and now I feel like it’s adding even more cognitive strain to what to eat every day.

I feel really overwhelmed. Any tips on getting this down? I’m starting metformin soon.
