After many cancelled appointments (by me because of work) I finally went to see my diabetic nurse :shock: , full of trepidation as I sat in the waiting room thinking the worse as my visit to a doctor a few days before for an unrelated problem (thought I might have a kidney infection turned out to be muscle strain, been training to hard!) said I would have to go on to a blood pressure pill and metformin.
Went for a 3 1/2 mile run this morning before appointment and read my bp which was 128/69
.
took in to the nurse all my recorded bg, weight and bp readings.
She was over the moon with my results as my weight back in May was 19st 11lb, my cholesterol 5.6 and my hb was 8.6..............................................
now weight 16st 2lb, cholesterol 4.3 and hb5.5 and when she asked me how I did it! low carbs and plenty of exercise she said there was no need to go on any meds and has even told me to lay off the statins for a month she didn't seem at all fazed that I was following a low-carb diet....................I am really chuffed as the hard work has paid off and it wasn't really that hard :lol:
