OK so I've been to see my Diabetic nurse today and well I'm chuffed!! I better give some background first. I was diagnosed in 2010 and never really recieved much help or support for the first 6 years. My HbA1c were in their 90's and daily blood glucose testing were around 18/22 mmol. I piled on weight and almost hit 19 stone. My doctor said I wasnt gonna live past 40 so I packed in smoking then asked for help with my diabetes. After a while he sent me to a diabetic nurse that actually gave a hoot. She talked to me about food and nutrition and I finally understood what was happening with my body. She suggested low carb but after reading lots about it I decided low carb wasn't enough at 150g so took it down to 30g per day.
WELL IT'S BEEN 10 WEEKS AND ....
HbA1c is down to 51!!!
Colesteral down to 3.3
Triglycerides down to 0.7
AND ...
I've lost over a stone and a half.
ALL IN 10 WEEKS.
