Hi Everyone,
Newbie here but reading for past 3 months.
I was diagnosed 3 months ago with HBAC1 13.8, fasting glucose 11.9, doctor wanted me to start on medication immediately, I said no, bought "Eat to Live" & "Death to Diabetes", finished reading same night, following day started "Eat to Live" diet immediately.

I am 5 ft 11 in, not obese, cycle 30 min alternate days all the while but after diagnosis cycle daily.
First 30 days readings after diagnosis: HBAC1 = 10.3, FG = 5.2
60 days after diagnosis: HBAC1 = 6, FG = 4.6, also did c-peptide this round, within normal range
90 days after diagnosis: HBAC1 = 5.2 FG = 5.1, also did c-peptite, fasting insulin/insulin tolerance and GTT 100gm.
GTT 1 hr = 10.3, 2 hr = 6.5, waiting for insuline & c-peptide results to be ready.
Based on these figures, Doctor now say I was misdiagnosed initially after insisting 90 days ago I must start medication immediately.
What do you guys think? I am continuing with the "Eat to Live" diet because I feel much better but I would want to 'cheat' once in a while or loosen it a bit... will feel better doing that knowing the doctor is wrong the first round rather than the second round...
