Six months earlier I discovered my T2 diabetes with HbA1C 10.5 mmo
What do you think can I bounce back?

Yes you can, just do not stray from the path and your hba1c will come dowm.What do you think can I bounce back?
Various members have bounced back from that, so give it a go!
First members I think of are @Goonergal and @Caeseji , but there are many more.
Good luck!

Hi @drasifchowdhury and welcome!
Thanks for the tag @Antje77
Bouncing back is most definitely possible - I started at 108 (12%) and am now at 30 (4.9%). Never felt better, so the diagnosis has been positive for me.
See you’ve been given lots of good advice above but do come back with any questions.
Can I ask how you maintain at 30? My Hba1c was 106 three months ago, now 43 but I seem stuck between my lowest blood glucose being around 5.3 and highest being 6.7.
Hi.
Happy to share. For me personally adding in just a few more carbs will quickly see my BG levels going up so I maintain by eating a very low carbohydrate (ketogenic) diet of below 20g carbs a day. Usually far less than that as I enjoy eating simple, protein and fat based meals (staples are meat, fish, eggs, dairy, nuts).
I continue to use intermittent fasting - skip breakfast and eat 2 meals in a narrow eating window (usually 5 hours between 12/1pm and 5/6pm). Sometime only one meal a day, but that’s less frequent now that I’ve dropped in weight (although it’s a useful tool is a pound or two needs to come back off).
Sounds like you’re doing great just 3 months in. Looking at my own data, even just the A1C results in my signature, there was a big drop in the first six months and then a more gradual drop down to 30. Then it’s just a matter of being consistent and making sure that you’re eating/exercising (if you choose to exercise) in a way that you enjoy and can sustain in the long term.
If you’re happy with what you’re eating I’d suggest just sticking with it and being patient - you’ve had a big drop in 3 months and your body may just be adjusting to running at lower levels.
