Thanks everyone for advice. Saw the Practice Nurse this morning who is very a very nice lady. I mentioned the HbA1C first of all and told her that I'd already started, knew what I have to do, and didn't want to go to the Diabetic Nurse service. I showed her a print out of the Low Carb...

....for a well woman check. My Hba1c was 41 last week on a routine blood test. I haven't been diagnosed as prediabetic but I'm overweight and I have swiftly moved on to this site's Low Carb Program and the teachings of the wonderful Dr Unwin. I've previously posted about this. So I intend to...

Around 4st.

Latest HbA1c (as I didn't realise that it was being tested when I did the blood tests on Monday) - was 41 so if I don't pull it back I could be over on the pre-diabetes forum next. I was quite surprised as last May it was 38.8. Can't say that I don't deserve it though. I just heard a wake-up...

Thanks. I just looked at my last blood test which was done in May last year (so much for twice yearly.....usually they pick this up at the surgery when I ask for repeat prescriptions). Hba1c was 38.8. I guess that it's a significant increase now to 41 as at 42 I'd be starting in the...

Hello, I posted earlier today in the low-carb forum saying that I just started Dr David Unwin's plan although I'm not prediabetic or diabetic. Just overweight :( I have to have a regular blood test twice a year for other issues and I just collected the results for the GP. Everything is...

Thanks all. xfieldok I did that, but just get all the usual links which I knew about!

Hi. After several tries at low-carb over the years I'm now doing Dr Unwin's plan. This man is wonderful and I wish he was my GP! The plan is more 'doable' as there doesn't seem to be an emphasis on eating loads of added fat, which I have a problem with mentally and physically. Also I see he...

Goodness, just as well I came on here! This Eatwell plate thing looks all wrong. Where is the most definitive evidence that it isn't the way to go, as I'd like to show my husband. I'm visualising us on the course with them promoting the Eatwell plate and him saying how much he misses his...

My husband saw his GP this morning. With an HbA1c of 43 he is being referred for this course and will have a repeat blood test in three months time. I understand low-carb quite well myself (I've posted elsewhere on this forum) and will go with him on the course if I'm allowed. My question...

Hi. So a further development. Having not followed anything in particular since my last posting (always have the intention but not so good at seeing it through) my husband (aged 70, two cardiac stents inserted about 10 years ago, sees his cardiologist once a year) had his annual blood test...

Thanks to both of you. Wow, well done on your weight losses! I don't drink alcohol (makes me feel weird!). I joined Diet Doctor a few months back - I forgot I joined until this week actually! I bought his book when it came out but the website is really good and there's loads of content on...

Good afternoon and hopefully you'll allow me to join on here! I'm trying to improve my health, as we all are. I haven't been diagnosed with diabetes but have in the recent past been advised that I am running the risk of prediabetes. I do have multiple sclerosis - diagnosed three years ago -...
