[QUOTE="brassyblonde900, post: 1612609, member: 445897"] I agree with both [USER=209498]@Prem51[/USER] and Guzzler. I was diagnosed on the 21st of June 2014 with a HbA1c of 10.7% I told my Dr I did not want to go on medication, and to give me a chance to try a 'lifestyle' approach first. I weighed 237lbs. at 5'2" that had me practically super morbidly obese. I Parked my car, waved it 'See Ya Lerra' and walked every where. I also did a scheduled 5mile walk every day. I did not test then, I wanted to focus on the weight loss plus eating lower carb. By my next GP visit 3months later it was down to 6.7% He asked what I was doing and encouraged me to continue with it. I bought Dr Bernstein's book, and followed his guidelines. I went online and read + watched a lot of resources out there about the role of Insulin. When I went back 6months later to my GP, they told me I had elevated blood lipids. I refused Statins, and decided to add soluble fibre to my meals. I got down to 134lbs within I year. Thanks to Low Carb and walking plus my soluble fiber, I no longer have the runaway appetite that had me yo-yo-ing since I was in my 20s. I started testing not too long ago. [B]EVERY DAY I THANK MY DIAGNOSIS OF DIABETES FOR SAVING MY LIFE.[/B] I did not know then it was my hyperinsulinaemia that had my appetite so out of control. I would lose tons of weight and gain it right back plus some. I could not control my weight. I had booked appointments for Weight loss Surgery so many times in Belgium, but demurred on account of the possible complications. Now, I have my blood glucose in the non diabetic range, plus for the first time in my adult life, I know without a doubt I can control my weight. Thank you Diabetes. [/QUOTE]
