48 to 39 in 5 weeks, very low carb diet in May 2021

I have been thinking about my situation. In 2015 I was 45mmol, pre-diabetes. Over the next few years I was in remission and then in 2021 was 48mmol, the bottom of diabetes. My last two were 39 and 35 mmol (I worked at this and lost 4 stone) If I lead my previous lifestyle I could easily...

So, it seems it has been around a long time. When I was losing weight in the 90's it primarily focused on low fat

When was it that low carb was first introduced to replace the low fat theory. 25 years ago I followed a low-fat diet and helped with my weight loss, however, my mother was diagnosed T2 around the same time but her diet advice was not what is promoted nowadays.

UPDATE: Since my low carb diet start in May '21 which I have managed to maintain I have lost a total of 53lb, I am definately going in the right direction :) My HbA1c taken 23/05/22 is 35 mmol/ml.

24.5kg since May 2021 :)

The one you provided a link to would be fine but the strawberry version which is what B17 was asking about is quite high https://groceries.asda.com/product/natural-greek/asda-lactose-free-strawberry-greek-yogurt/1000023390638

5.0 :)

UPDATE: Since my low carb diet start in May '21 which I have managed to maintain I have lost a total of 48lb, I am definately going in the right direction :) I am due a HbA1c on Wednesday 9th March.

I love to read these success stories, it inspires others also :)

I am pretty sure it was my really unhealthy diet, I was consuming multiple packets of biscuit, kit kats, chocolate, bread and large amounts of porridge. I also had my step daughter move in with her 6 year old while she waited for her house (she still here).

My fasting results most mornings are never much higher than 5.2. Why is there a lot of emphasis put on fasting glucose levels?

In Nov' 2016 I had an HbA1c 45. July 2017 HbA1c 40. July 2020 HbA1c 41 April 2021 HbA1c 48 June 2021 HbA1c 39 So, I have turned these figures over just by healthy eating, I would assume that anybody who leads an unhealthy lifestyle would be at risk. To add in 2016 I was 48 so maybe...

Latest HbA1c dated 04/06/21 - 39. Previous HbA1c dated 29/04/21 - 48. I have also lost 15lbs, this was achieved through low carb diet, I am pleased with the result.

of the two testing times which one is considered the most important? I am currently in the pre-diabetes range. DaPa
