Just had my diabetes review today, and I'm over the moon. My last Hba1c was 70 ( go wanted to put me on meds...I'm currently diet controlled). BP was 160/91. Today Hba1c was 43. BP 122/68. She told me that I had achieved my goal of sending my diabetes into reverse/ remission... and added that in all her years as a GP, she had never seen anyone achieve what I've managed, and also very interestingly added that they could NOT have achieved these results using medication. I did this by rigorous exercise, and a very low carb diet..medium protein, high fat... and it worked. I started on 7th Jan 2019... and my review was today, so approximately 3 months. The other great thing is I've found a way if eating that is sustainable, and doesn't require will power. It has been extra tricky for me ad I'm a vegetarian so meat wasn't an option, but eggs & cheese no prob. I'm REALLY HAPPY!!! My diabetes is in remission...its official!! I hope this might inspire others.
Well done 'Alembic 1989 my friend,I have just had my 2 yearly review no meds just exercise and diet and about 100 carbs daily,and my results were 1HbAc 6.5 /47 mmol/mol,for my age(74) I am quite pleased with my own personal achievement,although my cholesterol has raised a little from 4.8 to 5.5, the receptionist said we have sent you a dietary book out (LOL),anyway well done my friend enjoy your success .
Fantastic news! I hope you will stay around the forum for a while. There are many who would benefit from your experience and knowledge; achieving this as a vegetarian is less common so there is a perceived difficulty without meat which puts off some contributors.
Well done! Well done indeed that is really impressive and I wish you the best of luck in the future too
Great news @alembic1989 i notice you joined much earlier, had you changed something particular to achieve such a great score. currently going the LCHF route, and it's working well, but always open to new ideas. again fantastic results..and high praise from the doctor, to boot made up for you, mate.
