[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1003683, member: 88961"] I have only scan watched the programme, whilst doing other things, but the lady in question, to achieve an HBa1C score as she did mush have had regularly elevate blood scores. She breached both thresholds for diabetes - the fasting and HbA1c, and again on the repeat diagnostic HbA1c. What was the Doc supposed to conclude? Had she not been diagnosed, I would have been utterly horrified. There are posters on here who have been vehemently disgusted to find they have had increasing, although non-diabetic range bloods for years before diagnosis. How would they have felt if not diagnosed with scores such as hers? Quite clearly the lady concernd "got with the programme" and turned her diet around, and continued to do so for the period reported at the end of the programme. The proof of the pudding tends to come when a sufferer stops losing weight and goes into maintenance mode. Whilst one's body is losing, I could be persuaded that it is easier to return great blood work. That last paragraph isn't passing judgement on anyone. Anyone who makes significant and material improvements to their own health and life in general, is to be applauded and recognised, but the sad and cruel fact is that diabetes isn't usually a quick fix condition. Generally, lifestyle changes need to be maintained to a greater or lesser extent for the very long term, if not life-long. Nobody knows what life events might come along to deflect them from any fantastic work they have done, we just have to do our best, controlling what we can, on a day-to-day basis. Life without bumps in the road would be bland and boring. The bumps in the road are what mould us. I really do hope that lady does well. To have gone on TV and bared her life to the nation; she deserves a few lucky breaks. [/QUOTE]
