[QUOTE="Debandez, post: 1975313, member: 460354"] Hi and welcome [USER=499645]@Noa[/USER] firstly I will tag in [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] who will send you lots of invaluable info. You already have a plan. And a great plan it is too. Lowering your carbs. Carbs turn to sugar and not good for us diabetics. You will find lots of encouragement on this amazing forum. You have joined the best diabetic club in the world! So much info, advice, support and everyone is so friendly. I myself was diagnosed a year before you, December 17. Hba1c 62. I found DCUK and LCHF woe and never looked back. I asked my DN to bear with me whilst I tried diet. Didn't accept the metformin. I lost 1 stone in my first month and the same in my 2nd and was flabbergasted! But the icing on the low carb cake was in Feb 18 my hba1c was in pre diabetic range at 47. When I checked my bp (which had been borderline for meds) it was showing me as an athlete! 110 over 66 being an example. In May my hba1c was 41 and non diabetic. I had reached my target weight (lost over 50lbs). Now I'm maintaining. My current hba1c is 39 but I have a home a1c now kit which tells me it's 31. And that is all down to having a blood sugar testing kit and cutting out or right back on the carbs that spike me, potaties, rice, pasta, bread, cereals, juice mainly. I have found great alternatives through the the thread 'what have you eaten today'. Take a look.
