Definitely get actual medical advice from a specialist but I (an overweight person) lowered my A1C by weight training. It’s been shown to be much more effective than cardio.

Body types and people are different. I'm 5'6" and I'd look anorexic at 110#.
OP is already at the low end of her healthy weight range for 5'3"
You're a bit below yours.

I ended up going on Munjaro because i found the vegan diet insufferable and have to take a statin in order to eat animal protein. My a1c dropped like a rock. I’m going to try to go off the statin and see what happens .

sounds like you are already very thin, I am as well. That’s the downside of Munjaro, eating is a chore and I have to work very hard to not dip into an unhealthy weight. I still like elements of the vegan diet, but simply couldn’t tolerate abandoning dairy. That was just a no go and i’d rather medicate.


How did you learn this? Did you use a CGM? I don’t mind vegan diet but it would seem so counterintuitive with increasing protein. I used to be a vegan in my 20’s.

Kick all carbs from your meals, and be very careful with fruits, especially mangoes , oranges, and bananas.

I tested positive for type 1 after my A1c kept increasing….its been very difficult but at least I know what the cause is….get in to see an endocrinologist!

I would rather be sick then dead than a frail old lady. I know this will shorten my life. It is what it is. Life is not fair and I never expected it to be.

Honey your BMI is underweight. It's not a perfect measure, but you're not even close. OP don't take advice from the anorexic.
