[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP your A1C sounds like you may have some insulin resistance, which comes from SSRIs. Are you still on the SSRI? if so, maybe try metformin first (I’m not a doctor btw). If off the SSRI, keep up your routine but it will take time to reverse insulin resistance. Eventually it will work. No reason to take SG and it might set you back.[/quote]

Thank you! Yes I went off a few months ago! What is ideal A1C?[/quote]

A fasting insulin would be even better to know bc A1C is just a clue of what’s going on. Your A1C is in what is considered a good range, but it’s at the high end of normal and I just wonder if your body was more insulin resistant when you took the SSRIs and now it’s coming back into range

I lost a ton of weight after stopping SSRIs (weight I gained while taking them) but it did take a while before it worked. A few months is not much time. Continue what you are doing and actually, you don’t need to kill yourself with so much exercise and could probably even cut back as long as you aren’t gaining. I’d give your body a little more time before throwing a new variable at it.[/quote]
