Hello all had my review yesterday my 1st one 11 weeks after being diagnosed and after the help from this site and advice from those on it and my lchf diet my results were great the Dr was very pleased and congratulated me on listening to him.

My HbA1c is down from 80 [9.5%] - 50 [6.8%]
My Cholesterol is down from 6.1 - 4.2
My Blood Pressure is down from 133/85 - 125/75
My weight is down from 123.4kg [19st 5lb] - 114kg [17st 13lb]

So i would like to say thank you to everyone who gave me advice my Dr reckons that if i keep going at this rate i could be off the metformin and statins in 6 months which would be amazing.
 
Well done, I have my first review around 10 weeks after diagnosis and hoping for similar results
 
Fantastic news - I'm noticing similar results with the blood pressure and great news on the Cholesterol. Don't stop what you're doing.
 
Great results @BtonLee, well done! So did you tell your doctor you were doing LCHF (rather than listening to him?) and if you did what was his reaction?
 
that's a fab result -- well done !!

I told both my nurse and my Dr about lchf and both were fine with it and my Dr expressed how good it was that I was doing low carbs as this would have the greatest benefit to me.

They are light-handed and happy that i am on the right path and achieving results now just to keep progressing, I went on my 1st official training jog this morning walk then jog then walk etc managed 45 minutes and 4k which was ok and much helped thanks to some amazing advice on here.
 
Have you had your eye screening yet? (You should be offered an appointment within 3 months of diagnosis)
 
@BtonLee
Just sensational results. I look forward to seeing you get off the meds. Well Done!!
