[QUOTE="Daphne917, post: 932556, member: 124172"] Hi @Cupcake123 welcome to the forum. At 67 (8.7%) your hba1c is fairly high as non-diabetic is 41 (5.5%) however there are forum members who had higher levels at diagnosis and have managed to reduce their levels significantly by lowering their carbs and eating full fat, as opposed to low fat, foods or by going on a very low calorie diet such as [USER=96315]@Andrew Colvin[/USER] or [USER=100904]@Pipp[/USER]. There are also some who started off on medication and are now diet only. Obviously I'm not medically trained and you need to take your other health issues into account but itis possible. I eat low carb, full fat and my hba1c has steadily reduced from 42 last August, 41 in December and 36 this July and my cholesterol level is 4.8 which is without statins. Re cholesterol it's not the total level that you need to worry about but the breakdown into LDL (bad) which should be less than 2.5 and HDL (good) which should be over 2.5. Have a read around the forum and ask any questions. One more thing if you haven't been given one your most important weapon is a glucose meter! [/QUOTE]
