This may be a long post,a habit of mine so bear with me.But after blood test results I am delighted,over the moon actually and wish to share in the hope that I can inspire others on this journey.
I was diagnosed on 16th July as Type 2, blood tests flagged up a random blood glucose of 13.3 mmol/L and a subsequent fasting test of 11.4 mmol/L so no doubt about it.HbA1c 75.
A real shock and like many others it took me a while to get my head around it all.
Then I discovered this forum,spent lots of time reading around here and researching online.On the 1st August I decided LCHF was the way to go and went for it.Ideas,recipes,humour and inspiration from this forum has kept me going,with very few lapses.........so far.
Was tested on Monday and I am happy to share my results.Actually busting to tell someone who will understand if truth be told!
HbA1c. 14/7/15 75 02/11/15 42
Weight. 15st 6lbs 14st 2lbs
BMI 34.8 31.9
Also I got a complete lipids test which was very comprehensive.The last one was on 19th
June so a little further back.
Cholesterol 19/6/15 8.5. 02/11/15 5.4
HDL 1.0. 1.1
LDL ? 3.7
HDLC Ratio 8.5 4.7
Trigs 6.0. 1.1
Also a whole range of liver function tests and other stuff, all are now back within safe limits.I am sure I will be told off as my overall cholesterol is over 5.0 but I could not care less.
I am gobsmacked, I have tried hard and was a bit disappointed with not losing more weight, but my figs are better than I dared hope.
So for me LCHF has really worked.If you are type 2 and new to this site please take a close look at this.After all what have you got to lose.
Lastly and by no means least.....Thank you,Thank you, Thank you to all here who have kept me going.You have given me determination and a feeling that I am not alone.Thank you.
