Hi........my second post on this forum so new to this
In January my weight was 13 st 7 - now (August) it's 10 st 13 - really thrilled - low carb diet
HbA1C :
January 97
April 48
August 43
So really pleased about that too....very supportive doctor......he was going to up my meds in Jan but I asked him to wait and see what I could do myself diet wise as I'd done research but also asked that instead of waiting a year I could have the test redone every 3 months and he agreed. I've dropped 1 metformin tablet and thinking of dropping one more.
Have now started to reduce my carb intake even more so under the 20g a day. Not that hard either! Now my pre breakfast glucose level is always down to below 5 where it was always about 7 and I monitor frequently to see what foods affect it.
Greek Yoghurt with berries - now a no no. Peanut butter - also a no no for me dammit - so interesting to see what foods do affect it and what don't - gin and slimline tonic - YES YES....no problem ha ha!
