Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="ziggy_w" data-source="post: 2308059" data-attributes="member: 323454">Hello [USER=530432]@EFMax[/USER],Welcome to the forum and well done on reducing your HbA1c by almost half. We have members with initial HbA1c levels very close to yours, who have been able to reduce their blood sugars to normal levels (regardless of any genetic predisposition) and are now no longer on medication by just by changing the way they eat. So, it is definitely doable and definitely worth a try to see if it can work for you.As to your diet, water is of course an excellent choice (as you will know yourself). However, if you were inclined to do so, most of us also have tea, coffee and low-carb alcohol (such as dry wine) without any raise in blood sugars.As to your meals, you might want to consider dropping the baked beans, the noodles and the wholemeal wrap, all of which are quite carby.As [USER=112460]@Dr Snoddy[/USER] has suggested, there are plenty of substitutes for these foods. You might also want to have a look at dietdoctor.com (no need to sign up, the vast of majority of recipes are free.)Btw, do you have a meter? If not, would you willing to get one? As you will have often heard said --- if you don't measure it, it won't get fixed. Most of us test our blood sugar levels right before starting to eat and two hours after our first bite to see how our body copes with the carbs in the meal.Testing blood sugar levels will be especially important if you decide to drop your carbs to an even lower levels as you are on blood sugar lowering medication. Combined with low carb, this might drop you in hypo (too low blood sugar) territory. So in your case, please work with you health care professionals on this.Good luck on your journey. Keeping my fingers crossed.</blockquote>
