remission

Just arrived back from the hospital and here is the results of my latest HBA1C: A fantastic “38 mmols/mol” down from 46 last Dec 2017 and 85 on diagnosis last Sept 2017. The Consultant Endocrinologist also said I’m Type 2 going into remission! Reduced to one tablet of Metformin from tomorrow...

"At the conclusion of 12-months, 24% of experimental arm participants achieved a weight loss of 15 kg, which was not seen in control group. Mean weight loss of 10 kilograms was achieved in the intervention group, while subjects following best-practice guidelines achieved a weight loss of 1 kg...

I've pretty well given up carbs for the last 6 months. Lost 12Lbs and reduced my Hba1c from 53 to 38. During this period I continued to take my medication as per normal (Victoza, Metformin & Glicazide) Reading from the Direct study literature, I gather that the next phase is to eliminate all...

Hi all, I am trying to get my mum to eat healthily and bring her sugar level down. Her sugar level is always over 10 (no more than 13) before meals. The only time I ever see her sugar level between 4 and 7 is after her gym session in the morning. Her diet is quite simple, she mainly has...

Hi all, I just wanted to share my story. I started out with GD when I was pregnant with my now-seven-year-old. In 2012, it was confirmed that I'd gone into T2 and in September 2015, that became Insulin Dependent. I spiralled into depression. I was getting extremely despondent that the NHS...

Hi friends, I've been low-carbing for a couple of months, but today I tried eating sushi: 10 pieces, so quite a lot of rice. I took a blood test BEFORE the meal and registered as 4.2. 2 hours after the sushi meal, I took another test and got 7.3. I understand I shouldn't get too excited about...

We're getting 'thank you' packs made for people who complete the Low Carb Program. There is a fabric bag (that promotes 'real food' on the outside), an info pack and we'd like to add some 'fun' stuff. We had thought about stickers/badges/t shirts, etc - but thought we could have some 'fun'...

I had my annual review this morning with my nice DSN. My HbA1c is now 22, with cholesterol all still looking good. I thought I would take this opportunity to "share" my foolproof 10 Point Plan to kick T2D in the unmentionables. You must follow all 10 points for this to work. 1. Remove all...

If we define remission loosely as HbA1c of <6% (42mmol/mol) regarded as the normal range, I wonder 1) How many have been achieved that 2) Using what means 3) How long did it take 4) How long were they able to maintain it.

I rang my surgery for this years HbA1c (not seeing nurse for a few weeks so not got all blood results) but my HbA1c came back at 33 mmol/mol again this year and all other tests normal . The doctor wrote on my notes that I'm in remission; finally! I am pretty amazed as I haven't exercised much...
