[QUOTE="Jay-Marc, post: 1393877, member: 327284"] My Hba1c was 111 mmol/mol at diagnosis. Six months later it was 36 mmol/mol and has been around that level since. How did I do it - well for me it was a case of cutting out all high carb foods, over about 10% in content. I never much was one for the sweet stuff, so it was largely cutting back or out bread and starchy stuff and the sweater fruits. Your journey will be different from mine and everyone else. Your most important friend, especially in the early days, is your meter - to find out how you react to different foods in your diet. You will need to interpret the general advice into how your body works; some people can metabolise different kinds of carb easier than others - some find they need to go very low; others just need to take a bit of care. It may seem hard work at the start but it pays off. Your diet does not need to become monotonous; mine now if anything is more varied. You will find opinions on Metformin vary on here; FWIW I see it as a useful help in trimming things back a bit (if you don't have problems with its gastric side effects) but it is an aid - you have to put the effort in.
