Another 4 weeks gone, and I have reached my 13 stone target.
Started to be extra careful of eating too much protein around 4 weeks ago, and this has led to my lower pre breakfast BS readings now averaging less than 6. My 3 month Hba1c came back at 5.7%, so happy with that (previous 6.1%).
Carb intake now around 40g per day. Protein just under 100g per day. Now Eating a pot of double cream per day and lots of butter (high fat, low protein). Eating cream at 1st made me feel sick, but got used to it within a few weeks, now love it.
I have found that 20mins on exercise bike about 1/2 our before bed lowers my BS levels, and keeps them low through the night until morning (about 1/2 point lower on average).
I am now much fitter than I was pre diagnosis!!!
I wasn't unhealthy before diagnosis, but feel I might be even more healthy now.
Diagnosed T2 in sept 2013, BS levels 20+. BMI 22, age 58. Requested a GAD test in November, came back very high 2,000+, doc said I would be T1 very soon, but presently LADA, and managing to keep 99% of my BS readings one hour after meals under 7.8 without insulin or any medication.
