I am so pleased with myself! One year after diagnosis my Hba1c has gone from 95 to 34. My cholesterol is down (triglycerides 0.6). I have lost three and a half stones, blood pressure normal and am off all meds. This is wholly due to the advice and support offered on this forum. Thank you.

Poor grammar, bullying and drunks.
You just won the Internet! Magnificent Work, very well done.

P.S. I see a huge treat coming your way. Shoes? Handbag? Go on, you deserve it.

What a present you have given yourself. I am working out of the gym today and completed one class, you have inspired me to put the laptop down and do a weights workout, well done and thanks for the inspiration.

Well done @HelenHak . Any tips for the rest of us on how to achieve the same?

First 6 weeks under 800 calories per day. After that, no more than 80g carbs. Occasionally over those limits, but not much.
Great, and the exercise regime?
