[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 1491155, member: 219467"] It's unlikely to come down a huge amount in 2 weeks especially as 53 isn't that high.. mine went from 87 to 70 in just over two weeks after I started low carbing at my diagnosis... however in the longer term you are definitely doing the right thing. If you have some insulin resistance (which you do with an HbA1c of 53) then it may take some time before your insulin level is low enough to start releasing your fat stores so it will probably take a bit of time for the weight to start to come off.. Again I started from 143kg so had a lot more to loose. One thing that I found useful was skipping breakfast and just having tea or coffee first thing in the morning.This can help by allowing the pancreas to have an extended rest after sleeping which will help to lower your insulin levels. If you think you can cope with that then maybe give it a go. Reducing your eating window i.e. just having lunch and dinner can be a very effective tool for both blood glucose control and weight loss. Anyway you are here now so welcome. Have a read around. There is a lot of info here and someone always around to help. Feel free to ask any questions. [/QUOTE]
