I'm down 30lbs in exactly 3 months. My hba1c is down from 62 to 44. My early morning readings are excellent between 4.5 and 5.2. My pre and post meal readings are good on my LCHF diet. I test myself now and again with high carb for example yesterday I had a toasted fruit tea cake (large) and was 6.2 after 1 hour 10.0 after 2 hours and only came down to 5.2 after 3 HOURS so I know I haven't reversed it but I'm lIving in hope. Have I still got a chance I'm wondering. I weigh 12 stone 1lb now and my goal is 11 stone 10lb to get to a healthy bmi of 24. Shall I perhaps do a crash diet for the remaining few lbs? Can anyone offer any advice. I've found this site so helpful. If I had followed my DN guidance I would never have got my hba1c down. It's completely the opposite if what I now know is good advice for the management if t2. MASSIVE THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR ALL THE TIME AND TROUBLE YOU TAKE TO HELP US NEWBIES. MUCH APPRECIATED.
