Well, I know...I've been quiet really...just not posting much but still battling with the LCHF and the like. Well anyway...as much as it was setting my anxiety off I booked in to get my HbA1c done...results in today....I thought maybe I would be ok with 48 or something...got told "they're normal" which is in no way good enough for me...asked to know the value...39!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot believe it! I have read people's success stories and, quite frankly been jealous and wondered why I would never be that person who did so well.......39!!! STOKED doesn't come close :) xx

Awesome, can you confirm, have you been doing very a low carb diet, or moderate low carb etc? Just interested to know what measures you have taken.

@MissMac I remember you as the lady who wanted to go the chippy in holey leggings! Bet you are glad you didn't now and were able to resist your cravings. You are in inspiration. Well done! :D

Ha ha well I cried and my mum seems to think I can eat what I like now but take it from me...no wheat or grain is passing these lips and if there is ANY refined sugar it will be the teaspoon of xmas pudding in a few weeks with all the cream! It would be TOO easy to fall back into my old ways from laziness but I won't...the weight loss and energy and just general well-being I feel outweighs ANY desire to eat anything carby or sugary!! I MIGHT treat myself to the cheesecake with the nut crust I have been talking about for months but we'll see!
Thank you EVERYONE for your comments...I still have not come off the ceiling to be honest! xxx

If i am honest Juicetin...I have not counted in the sense of knowing exactly what is what but have tried to keep as low as humanely possible..I would say my carb count is around the 20 mark but often less as I choose to fill up on my veg and fats and stuff....I have just got in touch with a nutritonist who is totally on board and is gonna help me with the cooking side of things as I do struggle somewhat! xxx
