Hi my name is Stef I thought I would share my journey with you
I was diagnosed T2 on the 20th of may with a hbh1c of 115 put straight on 2 x 500 metformin and statins and blood pressure tablets. 2 weeks later my hbh1c was down to 105 which gave me lots of hope of getting it down further. I brought loads of books on diabetes and read all I could on the subject. Got loads of useful information from this web site on how to go forward, I hoped that the lchf diet would work for me so dived in head first. I used to live on carbs before fast meals on the road for work. I stopped all suger and fruit juice as the books said,started walking in my dinner time at work and brought a mountain bike, and to be honest quiet enjoyed the challenge of try to get my sugar levels down. 4 months later had my bloods taken again and my hbh1c is down to 45,my cholesterol has halved down to 3.5 and blood pressure is way down too. I now walk 4 times a week and go on my bike twice a week and love it , I got a good kick up the behind with T2 and changed my life style to help myself, I have lost 45 lbs as well and feel a lot better. I have posted this to hopefully show people that the diets and exercise do work so don’t give up . This is a brilliant forum with lots of great knowledgable people on it, thanks for all the help and motivation.
