I have just been to see my practice nurse about my HBA1C from 19th May to be told that I have made "a vast improvement since last meeting in December weight loss of 11lbs (4.99kg), HBA1C 45 (6.39) Cholesterol 4.58 Blood Pressure 130/70 and weight 17 stone (108 kg) With a height of 6 feet (1.83 metres).

Whilst I am aware my weight is still too high overall I am highly delighted.
 
Great news, Scotsdude! Definitely in the right direction!! Isn't it amazing how good it is to get recognition and encouragement from health care professionals!
It would be interesting to know what advice you were given about diet.
 
Well done Scotsdude, stay focused and you'll get to where you want to be in no time
 
Well done! You should be really proud of your achievement!
 
Very well done! Keep up the good work!

11 years ago I was advised to cut down on the chips and white bread. The only advice I have had since then has been gleaned from the Diabetes.co.uk forums
