Woohoo! HBA1C result!

[rowan]

Two months ago it was 128, I then started low carbing, and today I got the result of 86, lowest I've been for a few years!!!!!!!!
Still a way to go but what a great start! if I could only get rid of the dreaded DP it would be much lower!

Looking forward to seeing nurse next week and telling her it's all down to lchf

Well done Rowan, that is very good news. Have a dance round the room.

Great result - well done

 

[FlyingPonyMonster]

Well done!
What's DP?

 

[CollieBoy]

Dawn phenomenon (when your liver gives your BG a little boost (or not so little)) to help you get started in the morning.

My DP is usually around 13 - 16, compared to 7 - 10 when I go to bed. It's very annoying!

 

[FlyingPonyMonster]

Wow okay - just read up on that - very interesting

 

[sanguine]

Well done @rowan, keep going!

Couldn't happen to a nice diabetic. Happy day.

Thank you everyone, I'm celebrating tonight with a lovely fillet steak, celeriac chips, tomato and mushrooms and a large red wine

 

[brettsza]

Great result. Well done

 

[rowan]

I must admit i thought it would be higher than that so it was a lovely surprise! The first few weeks there was still a lot of exerimenting going on (had never heard of lchf before mid january!), and more than a few very high BGs in the high 20s, so hopefully there'll be an equally impressive drop for my next A1C.
And I've lost around a stone in weight during the same time

Well done Rowan mate! Keep it up!

 

[Heathenlass]

Well done,and keep on ever downwards !
