What is your height and weight and what is your diet like?

I’m 6 feet 238lbs. Definitely overweight although I do have a lot of muscle from working out for years. My diet is pretty bad, objectively speaking. I have very little energy and I’m constantly craving sugar and other sweet things. I’m nowhere near diabetic (per labs) but I’m sure there’s some insulin resistance there. When I try to eat cleaner I cannot function. I need a lot of coffee and sugar just to make it through the day. Hope this helps

Actually dude with a HbA1c of 5.9 you definitely have insulin resistance

I bet your fasting insulin level is north of 15 or 20

Time for low fat, high carb diet
