Happy birthday, enjoy your meal and the view. X

A coincidence that led me to reflect @LittleGreyCat. I must get a poppy tomorrow. X

Fantastic result @poemagraphic, you are an inspiration. Keep up the good work.

When I told the nurse at the liver clinic that I had refused medication and opted to make lifestyle changes she said that I was in the minority. It's definitely working for me.

I'm T2, avoiding carbs and have taken no medication since my diagnosis with an hba1c of 143. My last hba1c in September was 61 and forum members gave me lots of encouragement and advice. I have spent the last two weeks on a cruise and took the opportunity to see what trying to eat like people...

Count me in too.

I showed my podiatrist this site this morning and she was very impressed by the support and information available, she said that she will have a good look at the site and make her patients aware.

Hi Ziggy_w, thanks for responding. I have checked the numbers I posted and they are exactly what was printed on my report sheet. Hopefully my hba1c will be nearer to normal next time and I will have some more cholesterol numbers to put into the calculator.

Thanks Bulkbiker.

Thanks Rachel, I was feeling quite disheartened last week when I spoke to my GP (different one to the one who didn't tell me when I was diagnosed) because I was trying so hard to get to normal levels but forum members made me see how far I have come.

Thanks Goonergal, I love nuts, cream and brie but I have never liked chocolate.

Hi Bulkbiker, the nurse said that my total cholesterol is fine but the LDL should be lower and the Chol/HDL ratio should be less than 3.5 and mine is 4.1. If you think it's good I feel even more pleased.

Latest hba1c is 61 down from 143 at diagnosis with no medication. My liver function tests are all in the normal range and there is no inflammation. I had a liver scan today and there is some fat in my liver but no cirrhosis or scarring so I have been encouraged to keep doing what I have been...

Very well done, this is fantastic news.
