Hey everyone,

I was diagnosed T2 in December 2016 and was told by the nurse to lower my weight and blood sugar, then to go back and see her in 3 months.
At the time of diagnosis my hbac was at 77.
I managed to find this forum and have been following lots of the tips on here, so thanks everyone for your help!

I just had my next Hbac results and it was 39 - I'm well happy with that!
I've also lost 2 stone in weight & dropped 2 dress sizes.

If I can maintain this level for 2 years I will be officially taken off the diabetes list with my surgery.

Just wanted to share & say thanks for all of the support!

Well done, that is fantastic and inspiring! :)

Has your doctor taken you off medication?

Very well done @Horsham109. You have put a significant gap between yourself and the diabetes reaper.

I was not put on medication, in my initial visit to the nurse she decided to wait and see what I could do in the 3 months with diet and exercise only.

Oh sorry, my mistake. Perhaps you should change your profile as it says oral tablets, metformin etc. ? It also says you are a family member rather than which type of diabetes you have.

Thanks, I have done that - apologies, that was old information as when I first joined the forum it was to find some help for my husband who had been recently diagnosed.
