Greetings, I'm new to the forum my name is Nikki. I had to share my news, I have been following a very low carb life style since my diabetic nurse put the fear of God and imminent death into me at Christmas last year.
Upshot is I have lost 24 lbs and my hba1c has gone down from 85 to 47 . I am now 104.3kgs (16st 7 lbs) I've not been this weight since my daughter was a toddler!

I am so pleased with myself!

One of my medications is stopped completely and another is being reduced by half.

The majority of my weight loss has occurred in the last 49 days, I have also started to meditate daily , and take a half hour walk. I hope to start fasting intermittently as soon as I have my next blood test in three months.

Thanks for listening.

Hi

That’s fantastic news. It gives newbies like me hope
I’ve had a strange first full day. I just can’t believe my readings are so high. People seem really friendly on here and happy to offer advice.
 
Oh my gosh, thanks so much for all the congratulations and good wishes. I am going to keep going and see where I end up:woot:
