    Would it be Worth having a band fitted to loose weight.

    Only 55lbs to lose? I'd not risk it myself. I started with just over 200 lbs to lose and now about 155 to lose still. At no time has doc even discussed gastric options. Only knew one friend who got one fitted, and she piled a lot back on. She regrets her decision.

    Question about diabetes numbers

    I started with a very similar HbA1c - 107, mid September. I've been going hell for leather in terms of diet (IF/LC mostly), exercise, supplements & medication ever since, and my numbers are very clearly going the right direction, and now I'm concerned they might be too fast. It all started...

    Type 1: What are your HbA1c test results?

    107 mmol/L, or 11.9 % in mid September. Not due to have second test until mid/end December. Have high hopes to get that WELL into single figures, considering I'm LCHF and IF most days.
