I am pleased to say i'm back on to a low carb diet after starting one about 3 years ago. I initially started because there have been a deterioration in my eyes. Of course, after a while I slowly slid off the band wagon. Not completely, but enough for my HBA1C to remain above 7.
Anyway, earlier this year I had further deterioration in my eyes which sent the alarm bells ringing. I've been low carbing since the beginning of January and my Hba1c has dropped to an all time low of 6.1%. I'm also fairly confident that my next one will be in the 5%'s.
I'm starting to get my energy back and find my mood is generally alot better, although my eyes can get me down from time to time. So I thought i'd check in with the community in order to keep myself on course and not slip again.
We all slip, so I am not beating myself up about it. But wish I had woken up to this alot sooner as my eyes would probably much better than they are.
