[QUOTE="geefull, post: 1557251, member: 305199"] 15 months in - :joyful::joyful: Brief details of my history are in my signature but here is a quick update. I don't have a complete breakdown of my latest test results yet (taken on the 5th September,) because the earliest DN appt. I could get is for the 18th. but I phoned the Health Centre today to see if they were back and had been checked (they won't give you the info until a doctor has checked it but will phone you immediately if something is abnormal :)). Apparently they are all marked 'normal' and my HbA1c is 26 :) When I weighed myself this morning I have just made it into the 'overweight' BMI band having started in the 'morbidly obese' category. To say I'm delighted is a huge understatement! Daily I try to keep carbs to below 80g, proteins between 60 and 75 g and the remainder as fat. I have been restricting calories too to an extent because I had such a huge amount of weight to lose but going forward am now intending to increase healthy fat calories slowly (with as little highly processed veggie oil as possible), Ideally I would like to lose another 5-10 kg but if it takes a while it's ok. I like to think that my HbA1c will allow for some gentle diet experimentation on the way ;) I couldn't have come so far without the help, support and advice of all of you here, particularly the Low Carb and T2 sections so a big '[B]THANK YOU[/B]' [/QUOTE]
