"Taking a peak.... taking a peak... Oh go--"
My boo and I started Keto on the 4th of this month, made it all the way to the 14th.
We decided to stop, it's not for me and I've been dealing with keto insomnia and man I love my sleep.
Not to mention most of the keto-induced dreams have been more-less anxiety inducing... x_x
With a lack of a total thyroid It feels like I can't metabolize well on the diet.
I can see why it (Keto) can be beneficial for health, but my body is not reacting to it in a way I would've liked.
I also plan to talk to my doctor about testing for diabetes or prediabetes.
I can tell when I'm low on sugar but once I have sugar I feel normal.
But any time I see blood tests my level is always around 85 for glucose.
But I want to be safe, my dad's mom died from un-treated diabetes and my dad is on preventative care for diabetes.
Had an abdomen MRI done on the 9th to rule out hemochromatosis so they confirmed it is iron-deficient anemia
Oh and also deficient in Vitamin B-12 so they'll probably up the dose on that.
I see my new Endocrinologist this Friday so I can continue my Levothyroxine (I had to have a total thyroidectomy in 2023)
then I see my new OBGYN on June 6th and my primary again on July 1st - that day is when I'll talk to her about testing for diabetes or pre-diabetes.
But this coming Monday the 19th we plan to start working out small stuff first then getting into bigger things.

I'd highly recommend calorie counting and exercising at least 3
times a week till you think you can increase it.
I started with 15 mins and then did 30 and increased from that
based on how I felt for the day.
Im still on my own weight loss journey and it really can be a struggle.
I even finally got an appointment to a weight clinic for medication to
help with my eating disorder
But I do plan on working out at least my hubby is familiar with working out often
Diabetes runs pretty badly in my family too, so I've been working to get my own weight under control.
I'd maybe look into doing high protein, high fiber, low(ish) carb? (I do under 150g of net carbs)
It's something I've been doing for almost a year now and I've had the best results from that. It's much easier to maintain as a lifestyle change too.
I'd be more than happy to share some of the ways I've been doing meals if it's something you want to get into?
