A1c level 39mmol
Not wanting to believe that I was going to get diabetes. When I was told in February and given tablets etc and told this was the way things were going to be - I was shocked.
Since not really good at being told what to do - had to change a few things.
After a few hours on U tube I found Dr Fung - his explanation of how things actually work was very impressive.
So all you have to do is reduce carbs
That’s ALL
Not easy I will tell you
Made me go from 140kg to 127kg - what a side effect.
After a week of feeling I was about to die and loosing the will to live - I battled on
After that week - I started to realise that I was not as tired - stopped falling asleep all the time - actually started walking the dogs this became very easy over a few weeks - it was a miracle
Had several opinions at the doctors surgery - luckily the doctor said - it’s possible - that was a big help - some of the others have said it’s not possible.
Have realised that after getting the A1C levels down that I was actually going in the right direction - the the other reality hit me - that actually this may have been the easy bit - as I have to keep this going for the rest of my life - The way I am feeling is a 100% better than I have for a long time.
Hopefully this story can give hope for others - we are all different and circumstances etc - but good luck to everyone else on this journey.
I have found looking at this forum very inspirational and lots of information- I will be implementing some of the ideas going forward.
Thanks for taking the time to read this - sorry if it’s a little boring
