 Atkins and high blood sugar | |
Hello everybody,
I joined the board after I started the atkin's diet, been on atkins for about 8 weeks and lost about 15 pounds so far and feel really good.
I didn't do any blood tests before I start atkins but I'm a pilot and I do a full medical check every year and last november I was healthy and all my tests showed normal levels of blood sugar,cholestrol and uric acid.
I wanted to see atkins effect on my general health so I went for a blood test yesterday and I was shocked with the result. my blood sugar is HIGH (142 ml/dl) and cholestrol at 202 ml/dl. I have no family history of diabetes and my fitness level is fair and I havent eaten any simple sugar,rice,bread or pasta for the past 8 weeks !! even fruits are limited to 1 piece 3 times a week.The result does not make sense to me.
Is there any connection between atkins and high blood sugar ?
I'm really scared now because diabetes if confirmed would mean that I would lose my job as a result of losing my medical license.
Any advice ? |
