[QUOTE="Daks, post: 850862, member: 158629"] Hey Claire, I'll give you a quick run down of my journey. I was diagnosed on the 26.01.15 with [COLOR=#808080]a HbA1c of[/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000] 101mmol/mol[/COLOR], so still new myself. I was fortunate to find this amazing community straight away. My doctor handed me some leaflets all of which told me to eat pretty much the same diet that helped me to become diabetic in the first place. I was also told that my disease was progressive, so I could expect to get worse as time goes by and the cherry on the cake was being told my life expectancy had now been reduced. I was upset, in a dark place, and felt so ill, pretty much all the symptoms you have described above. To cut a long story short I put my faith in the people here and started with the LCHF, it went against everything my doctor had told me and everything I thought I then knew about nutrition, I hit it hard and didn't cut corners. Just three months later and three stones lighter my HbA1c came back at [COLOR=#006600]41mmol/mol, [/COLOR][COLOR=#404040]I attend gym 3 days a week and am in the best shape of my adult life, I feel great, in so short a time and so can you![/COLOR] Diabetes is not progressive, I believe I will go on to live longer now than had I not been diagnosed. All the best on your journey. :) [/QUOTE]
