Second Appointment with the Diabetes Nurse

[Art Of Flowers]

My diabetes nurse was very surprised by my progress in the three months since my first visit.

HbA1C down from 99 to 59
Weight down 6Kg
Cholesterol down from 5.4 to 4.8

My fasting blood glucose was 13.1 in my first blood test when I was diagnosed and now it is typically 6.2 when I test myself.

I told her I was on the LCHF diet and she said another one her patients was also on it. I said that a lot of people had reversed their diabetes using the diet, but she was a little cynical about this saying that in many cases diabetes gets worse with time. I suggested that it may get worse if people don't change to a low carb diet.

Hopefully my HbA1C will be below 48 in three months time.

Good reductions @Art Of Flowers! Keep it up and you could well hit your target by your next test.

Nice! And nice comeback to Nursey!

Its a bit like going to the garage/mechanic, and saying your car isn't running too well, so they look at your car and find out you've put the wrong fuel in, so they tell you to carry on putting diesel in it. (and they'll say it'll get worse and you might need a new car.......!) Who buys a petrol car these days anyway?!?!?

Well done though!

What a brilliant response to the nurse! Love it.

Well done, that is a great achievement, and fingers crossed for next time. No reason why you can't do it if you stick to your plan.

Well done @Art Of Flowers! I have my second appointment with the diabetes nurse on 14th March so I'm hoping my numbers have improved too, although only been following LCHF diet for a couple of weeks!
