[QUOTE="KernowKeith, post: 2210475, member: 517495"] Hi there - sorry I've been slow in replying. Well, the HbA1c reading was down to 'normal' at 41 - a modest drop from the Pre-diabetic 43, but I was happy. My cholesterol levels are all back to normal, too, which was a big bonus as I had expected them to suffer. All in all, things are looking positive. I have lost weight, though - I was 9st 13lbs, and now weigh 9st 5lbs, but my BMI is still well within range. All in all, I'm pretty pleased. I've not been checking my BG levels as regularly as before but yesterday's pre- and post-prandial readings were 5.7 (mid-afternoon) and 5.3 (late evening before bed), so more than happy. Basically, I've given up bread, beer, potatoes, pasta and rice, all of which were a regular part of my pre-diagnosis diet. I've had one (small) pasta meal since early December, not a single ale-type beer (just one pint of lager last week), one rice meal (which caused a big spike...) and a total of about one slice of bread in all that time. I try to exercise more but not the best example in that regard - my work as a journalist/magazine editor is pretty sedentary - but my wife is a good example, cycling and walking regularly, so she's my conscience! Good luck with things - it's worth it! [/QUOTE]
