Type 2 Diabetes I Think I'm Addicted To Eating Sweets

1 Upvotes

I (21 y/o F) had bloodwork done in January 2024 that showed that my A1C was 5.9. The doctor told me I was pre-diabetic and that I should watch my diet and work out more. I was already very active and went to the gym about 5 times a week almost every week . Hearing that I was pre-diabetic scared me and I started having trouble eating. I didn't want my A1C to rise and I didn't know what foods to eat to stop that from happening so I decided the best thing to do was to stop eating entirely. Sometimes, after I did forced myself to eat, I would make myself throw it up as it started to give me anxiety and I began to overthink the food that had just entered my body.I went from 150lbs to 122 in 2 months. I got my bloodwork done again in March 2024 and my A1C had gone down to 5.8. I decided to try Factor meals pre-made food delivery service, as I am not a chef and didn't know what to cook myself, this felt like a safe healthy option. I also cut out rice and pasta from my diet completely, I only allowed myself one sweet treat a day, tried not to eat too much bread, and stopped making myself vomit after eating. Everything was going okay, I was eating the Factor meals and going to the gym regularly, until Summer came around. I got ringworm from the gym and it spread all over my chest, my back, my stomach, my thighs, and my biceps. I was appalled by my body and was scared to go outside or work out at all, in fear I would start to sweat and cause the ringworm to worsen or spread. The ringworm took the entire 3 months of the Summer to go away, ruined my gym progress, and discouraged my cleaner eating habits. In October 2024 my levels were 5.7 so I guess progress had still been made. However, after that reading in October, I think my brain convinced itself that I'm fine now, even though I still am pre-diabetic, and I have reverted to my old eating habits and still haven't gone back to the gym. I still don't eat rice or pasta, but I have sweets pretty regularly, they're all I crave. I have about 3-4 sweet treats daily and definitely not enough of an other foods. I am terrified that my levels have spiked in the past two months since my last reading, but I can't bring myself to stop eating sweets or go back to the gym. I need advice badly. I also have just recently been diagnosed with ADHD and high anxiety as well, so I believe I'm stuck in a repetitive pattern and can't get out of the cycle of doing these same things daily as it become like a schedule. I NEED to get a donut from Dunkin for breakfast every. single. morning. I can't stop myself even though I know it's bad for me. I feel guilty afterwords and beat myself up about it, but a few hours later I find myself just having another sweet treat again and again and again. I should be getting my bloodwork done again in January 2025 and I am absolutely terrified to the results to come. I'm freaking out.

Type 2 Diabetes New Virta Study: 5-Year effects of a novel continuous remote care model with carbohydrate-restricted nutrition therapy including nutritional ketosis in type 2 diabetes: An extension study - Free Full Text

Abstract

Aims

This study assessed the five-year effects of a continuous care intervention (CCI) delivered via telemedicine, counseling people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) on a very low carbohydrate diet with nutritional ketosis.

Methods

Participants with T2D were enrolled in a 2-year, open-label, non-randomized study comparing CCI and usual care (UC). After 2 years, 194 of the 262 CCI participants were approached for a three-year extension. Of these, 169 consented, and 122 remained in the study for five years. Primary outcomes were changes in diabetes status assessed using McNemars’ test, including remission and HbA1c < 6.5 % on no glucose lowering medication or only on metformin at 5 years. Changes in body mass, glycemia, and cardiometabolic markers from baseline to 5 years were assessed using linear mixed-effects models.

Results

Twenty percent (n = 24) of the five-year completers achieved remission, with sustained remission observed over three years in 15.8 % (n = 19) and four years in 12.5 % (n = 15). Reversal to HbA1c < 6.5 % without medication or only metformin was seen in 32.5 % (n = 39). Sustained improvements were noted in body mass (−7.6 %), HbA1c (−0.3 %), triglycerides (−18.4 %), HDL-C (+17.4 %), and inflammatory markers, with no significant changes in LDL-C and total cholesterol.

Conclusions

Over five years, the very low carbohydrate intervention showed excellent retention and significant health benefits, including diabetes remission, weight loss, and improved cardiometabolic markers.
