Hi, I was diagnosed 3 years ago with an HBA1C of 97. I've brought my HBA1C down to low 40s (lowest was 37 but it's crept back up slightly) and I lost weight through LCHF but that is slowly creeping back on. I've not taken any meds.
In order to give myself a kick start on getting my weight and bloods under control I started the Blood Sugar Diet on New Years Day. So far so good, I've lost almost a stone and my blood sugar readings are all good - mostly 5s with the occasional 6 after a meal. Hopefully I will keep this up for the whole 8 weeks.
However, is it really likely that I will reverse my diabetes - ie be able to eat carbs again without getting high readings - or will it be more of a remission, which I was in anyway in that I hadn't had a diabetic HBA1C result for 2 years? I know that if at the end of this diet I suddenly started to eat masses of chocolates, pasta etc then that would affect me but I would really like to be able to eat the occasional baked potato or a couple of slices of wholemeal toast. Is that going to be possible?
I'd be really interested to hear if anyone has followed the ND or BSD and managed to properly reverse their diabetes.
