Been low carbing, lost a stone in weight and feel good (didn't have any symptoms anyway) HBA1C was 51 last time - aiming for a 48! Wish me luck!!

Good luck!

Well it sounds like you should see a marked improvement. Best of luck.

Good luck, let us know!

Good luck. I hope it is the result that you would like.

Good luck. I used to dread the old HbA1c. Sleepless nights. Cold sweats. Deterioration meant I would be on insulin. Now that's happened and I'm finally on insulin, I'm not sure what I'm going to think about my next blood test in 3 months time.

DSN really pleased with my progress, she was very supportive of my not wanting to take the meds, the one I saw previously was quite negative about the low carb way so I felt somewhat smug to have lowered my hba1c to 47 (was 54 not 51 as I first thought) and cholesterol down to normal levels. I was asked when I wanted to go next time and I've opted for another check in 3 months, target hba1c 43 and another stone off. So happy!!!!

Well done! Shake up some champagne F1 style!

 

[Kizza]

Well done. Did you subscribe to the low carb plan??

 

[Ryhia]

Great stuff, onwards and downwards.

Good reductions in HbA1c and weight in 3 months - well done @debsf1mad !

 

[carol43]

Well done.

Cheers everyone. Kizza, I considered it but didn't want to shell out any more money, prescriptions costing me £18 a month, £30 for exercise classes and testing strips every few weeks. Feel like I'm managing without for now.....

 

[Robbity]

Very well done, and keep up the good work!

 

[ert]

Awesome work.

Downwards - a good direction for most of us! I always think that waiting for an HbA1c is like waiting for exam results i.e. has my hard work paid off? Good luck!
