Hi All...I introduced myself as 'newly diagnosed and terrified' 4 weeks ago and also talked about how my GP had pretty much written me off. I had an Hba1c of 106 on diagnosis and felt so scared. Anyway, 4 weeks on I went to see the diabetic nurse for the 2nd time and she did a quick blood glucose test...my levels were 6.1 and that was 3 hiies after having oats and blueberries for breakfast. She was thrilled with my progress and seemed genuinely surprised. Another 2 minths until the next Hba1c but she has every faith that it will show a huge improvement in my previous 106. Oh and Ive also lost a stone and am now only 1stone away from healthy BMI.
So the advice to other newly diagnosed peiple is to be brave, cjoose an eating plan that suits you and stick to it and trust that you will be ok.
Early doors still for me but I WILL be off Metformin within 5 months. Fact.
