Hi All
I previously posted the good news about the rapid and significant drop in my initial reading of A1C at diagnosis of 109 to 60 after three months of low carb including one month on metformin..
Thank you all for your kind comments.
I cannot be complacent of course but all things being equal it seems as though my BS levels should soon be normalish - I am aiming for a level of 48.
Once (if) I get there I understand that my risk of developing complications is "drastically reduced". Does anyone know what that means in % terms?
I am only 38 years old and have ideal BMI so my Dr does not think I have common or garden T2.
If it was the case that my chances of getting complications were reduced by say over 70% that would be pretty reassuring but its not clear to me from the literature I have read what my outlook is as I will have this condition for the rest of my (hopefully long) life.
Many thanks
