[QUOTE="thetallerpaul, post: 309678, member: 42396"] Hello all, I've not been on in a while after some pretty nasty exchanges from the various sides of the low carb debate! However I wanted to come back on to give you all an update on my progress and thank you all for the advice and support I got from this site in the early days of my diagnosis. I was diagnosed earlier this year with an HBA1C of 11.9% and blood sugar of 28mmol. I have been on Insulin now for a few months with the dose gradually increasing as my pancreas shuts down. I'm eating lower carb (not VLC, about 140g per day which my doc and nutritionist are trying to get me to raise). Just had my first one post treatment at down to 5.6%. I'm not sure what that means for my treatment plan as will be a while till I see the consultant again but maybe they will give me a call to discuss? Kind of doubt it really. Any thoughts? My thinking is thats not bad for a Type 1. If I was type 2 I might be aiming a bit lower but not sure how safe it would be for me to run much lower with the driving and looking after my daughter I need to do. Thanks again to all and good luck in your own BG battles. Peace. TTP [/QUOTE]
