    Stress and HAB1c

    I work for a company with a bullying and toxic culture. I get emailed and called with demands until late in the evening even after a 9 hour day. I am dreading my HbAc1 results. Will stress make it worse?

    HBA1c - please tell us how quick you reversed your numbers

    I was diagnosed 7 years ago. HAB1c of 75 went to 41 in 12 weeks and lost 12 kg. I trained and ran a half marathon 6 months later losing 25 kg in total with a reading of 32. I stayed at this for 2 years. I injured my knee and stopped all activity for 6 weeks. I found it hard to get back into it...

    Help for a friend

    Yes I agree and I am so sorry you got this disease and didn't get to sloth round and eat pies (jokes) like the rest of us did. :joyful: Yes there has to be a heriditary and other factors. For me I think there was a lot of stress and travel staying alone and huge emotional eating. And the tell...

    Help for a friend

    I got on here to this community and went pretty much low carb. Lost 25kg and did a half marathon. I am still diabetic if I didn't watch my carbs and weight I would be back where I started. My hbA1c ranges from 32 to 40 (when I fell and couldn't exercise much) depending on weight and what I eat...

    Help for a friend

    Yes I have suggested this but she is a bit wary. She doesn't trust things like this after being hacked and finding her Facebook operating by someone else.

    Type 2 Fatty Liver

    Thank you so much. I was sure it would be ok. Interested in the fruit situation as it is winter over here and I have been eating oranges and apples to ward away winter ills.

    Type 2 Am I diabetic?

    Yes I agree with both of you. Yes I was very stressed at the time I had a lot of bullying in the workplace I had to deal with as a Manager. A test result is a test result after all. I like that I have it under control. I like that I am getting a higher level of care and free regular testing (I...

    Type 2 Am I diabetic?

    Thanks. I understand that I guess I just wondered if anyone had been through the same thing. It was a bit of a shock to be diagnosed and then a year and a half later for Dr's (my own GP is away ) question the diagnosis. I am now off the metformin and still doing well so I will chat to my own Dr...

    Type 2 Am I diabetic?

    I had a very high hba1c in the diabetic range and was prescribed metformin. I had a test 12 weeks later and my result was in the normal range. This has continued for the last 18 months with nothing even near pre-diabetes range. Lately I have seen 2 other GPS who remarked on my normal readings...
