Newly diagnosed (2weeks ago) with a HbA1c of 50. Tore up the Eat-well plate, and read up on low carbs. Transformed by this WOE, have lost half a stone in a fortnight and don’t feel I’m missing out. Not having another HbA1c check til Feb but will stick to low carbs forever. Have been a fatty most of my married life and never done a bit of good on other diets, which focused on fats and sugars. I feel so much better
Thank you all for your good wishes. I’ll check in again in 2 weeks after my next weigh in. Til then have a splendid Christmas and Happy New Year, low carbing all the way
