Never knew there was a "Success story and Testimonial thread". Must be a newish thing. Wouldn't say there is anything called "success" with diabetes as it's always work in progress. Feeling that you have succeeded brings with it the danger of bringing back the bad habits. Anyway, rant over...

Thanks @Bluetit1802. Your help and encouragement was invaluable

Hi All, Not on the forum as much as I was to begin with due to work etc but just wanted to update to say I just had my HbA1c checked which represents the 6 month mark since my low carbing and running regime started on Dec 19th 2014. HbA1c on 25/6 was down to 36 mmol/mol from 39 in March...

Mon 18/5 - 4.7 Sun 17/5 - 3.9 Sat 16/5 - 4.0 Can't complain about those readings even though my carb control isn't as tight as it should be.

Lack of a laptop has really hindered the diligent recording of my levels. Have noticed that I am snacking more in the last few days. Things I wasn't touching in the last 4 months have been creeping back in. Fri 15/5 - 3.8. Hard track session with speed intervals the evening before. Thurs 14/5...

4.9. No running yesterday and a day out of the house so not bad all things considered.

3.8 this morning. I was very good at a birthday party though I did have 3 x JD's and diet coke. Avoided all the carbs in the food. 3.1 mile Park Run yesterday.

Sorry everyone but my laptop crashed a few days ago so I won't be able to do the summaries until I get it fixed or get a new one.

3.8 this morning but feeling good. 5.6 miles yesterday so that has helped in keeping the levels low.

4.2. Feeling much better today. Even my pulse is down to 68 today from a sky high 107 yesterday.

3.7 and feeling pretty bad. Ran 7 miles yesterday, and after 6 on Sunday and 4 on Monday I have overdone it. Just had a banana for the first time since Dec to give me a boost.

4.2 miles run today so 868 minus 4.2 = 863.8 P.S. So if you ran a marathon a day you would cover the distance in 33 days.

I had eyesight issues with double vision back in Dec after being T2 diabetic for 5 years. It was a kick up the backside to over haul my life. After a month of strict control my eye sight returned to normal. Those weeks were the scariest experience ever. Plenty of useful info on this forum to...

Sun 3/5 Great Run Birmingham 10K Time 10.30am Official Time: 1 hr 11 min 02 sec A disappointing time but to be expected as I had not run for a month due to illness and work. Taking that into account it was good to still finish. Morning started off on the wrong foot as my fasting reading was...
