Just received my first HBA1C results have being diagnosed type 2 on the 1st November. Down from 81 to 38, OMG, I am so happy.
I've lost 13.5kg in 3 months (BMI of 24) and basically stayed away from carbs where possible. Its been a real roller coaster ride, it's been really tough but I am so so pleased with the results. Additional my cholesterol has reduced from 6.5 to 2.8.
Message to anybody out there who has just been diagnosed with type 2, it's not the end of the world, you can make a difference to your diabetes.
Next step for me now is to reduce my weight to 77kg (currently 80.5kg) and then maintain my weight until my next HBA1C test, then I will speak to my doctor about reducing the Metformin.
