- When people who know nothing about the LCHF diet tell me I'm killing myself being on it. I was killing myself not being on it!
I've never been given or told my HbA1c results before. So asked for them at my review, not good reading!

Had a good chat with the nurse. I said I didn't want to go back onto Metformin as I feel so much better without it. She agreed to leave me off meds and to try to get my levels down by food and exercise. So I have until the 3rd June to get results. She suggested that I read the book the 8-week Blood Sugar diet by Dr Michael Mosley as she had a diabetic patient who has come off all meds after following the diet in the book. Not sure if it's the same or similar as the LCHF diet, but have it down loaded onto my kindle and will look at it I was upset that she didn't weigh me as I've lost over a stone since I went to see her in late November!
I turned down 3 bars of chocolate flakes yesterday, normally I'd have taken them all home and pigged them before my husband came home from work - that's why my HbA1c readings were so high, I loved chocolate flakes in a banana sandwich. My mum used to give me a bread and butter sandwich with sugar sprinkled on top of the butter, I had that too before the last test! Now I never take the lid off the sugar bowl.
