Hello all, last Thursday I had my 3 monthly review with diabetic nurse who proudly announced my hba1c was 31 .
She asked me how I was doing this as I had stopped metformin months ago, so I explained about Lchf and intermittent fasting, she appeared less than impressed.
She then told me my numbers were going too low and if I carried on the way I am going she wold insist on me seeing the GP . I then had to go through what I was eating with her and explain that I am getting adequate nutrients from good healthy fresh foods and fats. Whilst talking she was taking lots of notes.
Anyway to cut a long story short we both agreed my hba1c - good, weight has gone from obese to normal, blood pressure and cholesterol also good.
She also told me my diet was unsustainable long term, and that I must start reintroducing sugery carbs back into my diet such as bread and cereals etc.
I explained I had been doing Lchf sine Feb with no problems and am healthier than ever.
Appointment over.
Not sure what is going on with the forum at the minute with many people leaving, but I would like to say to each and everyone of you who contribute to this site with advice and guidance a big, big thank you, I do not think I would be the fit healthy person I am today without your pearls of wisdom, anecdotes, etc.
This year for me has been one of many lows and a few highs, and I will be glad when it is over, this site has been a saving grace.
So once more thank you all xx
