So thrilled I wanted to share with the community, I was told about a year ago that I had type 2, and I read everything I could and lost 2 stone. Today I went for my Hba1C and was told by the Diabetic nurse that I am in remission. My first reading was something over 12, so I have come a long way and feel I want to share it.
I feel two of the most important things that I learnt on this forum and reading in general rather than through the GP were lose weight if your are overweight, and that Carbs turn to sugar something I did not understand before, I pretty much avoid all the obvious carbs now, bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, although I do have treats, which is why I was not necessarily expecting this result as especially in the last 3/4 months I have made more little treats ! but still achieved this result. I am so happy !!! I know it may not last and if I go back to where I was before with weight and eating I will have the problem again, but hey ho for now I am not Diabetic.
