Hi all,
My name is Kev and live in N Wales.
I am 52 and was first diagnosed with type 2 about 2 years ago.
My HBA1C went from 53 to 58 then down to 49 before shooting up to 78 by last Christmas.
I walked and lost a few stone and by just April my HBA1C was down to 43. I was elated and participated in a 100km ultra challenge at the end of May this year. Since then I've hardly walked, ate badly and gained 2 stone.
My bloods were 26.5 this week and in double figures 16.0, even after fasting 8 hrs.
I just goes to show how quickly it can creep up on someone. I am responsible for my own actions and now starting all over again tomorrow. I'm back on metformin, starting walking again and must cut out sugars and be on low carb diet to get back on track.
I can do it again and will be doing another ultra in September 2020.
I just wanted to know how dangerous is bloods of 26.5 a few hours after eating? Any thoughts?
This is a warning to anyone who thinks reversing diabetes is a destination. It's a lifelong journey that requires continuous effort in leading a different life.
Any comments, help or similar story then please let me know.
