[QUOTE="Trippyarsenal, post: 1743722, member: 443381"] In October 2017 I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, High Cholesterol and clinically obese.......... I was put on metformin 1x500mg per day and a low dose of Losartan. I also have a bulging disc so exercise is a problem ( hence weight gain ) but have found walking football has been really good for me. Whilst it wasn’t a shock to be diagnosed as such as I had ballooned to nearly 22 stone it gave me a kick up the back side, my first point of call was this forum which led me into adopting a low carb diet, I haven’t posted before but did use the words of others for inspiration and so I want to pass my results on incase it can help others - I have to say I’ve never eaten so well and not had any periods of hunger etc Anyway I went for my first check up today and the results have blown me away HbA1c - Down from 50 to 39 Weight Loss - 3 stone 12lbs Waistline - Loss of 7 inches Blood pressure -120/74 Cholesterol - 7.9 down to 5.1 To say I’m over the moon is an understatement and I realise the hard work starts now as I need to continue the weight loss and increase my fitness but I’ve proved to myself with the right attitude anything is possible.
