I AM OVER THE MOON - HBA1C OF 6%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :crazy: :clap: :crazy: :clap:

I'd just like to say a big thanks to everyone as if it wasn't for this site I would never have made the diet changes I made. SO THANKS!!! Is anyone else in my boat??? DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
 

Well done! good to see you are succeeding..5% club next fingers crossed :thumbup: and I too have done well through the advice of people on here who are sadly no longer with us but that's the way the cookie crumbles :crazy:

Best wishes

Paul
 
heyyy well done give yourself a little credit here hehe
 


Good result :thumbup:
 
Agreeing with Paul
My HbA1c was over 15 in 2009 when DX it went down to 7 and although I am skinny and had no weight to lose am just on Metformin and restricted carbs

ok so I'm confused now because my bloods last March were 6.5% and now are 5.6 %. Doctor says still too high but you're saying delighted with your 6%. Should I be pleased as well ?? Interestingly my vision has improved slightly, now that does excite me.
Best wishes to all,
Dave
 
I'm confused too Dave.
The OP has a profile stating Type1 diet only and started off with an HBA1c of 5.5. one year ago? :shock:
 
Yeah,just spotted that..doesn't make much sense although the OP's profile info could have been filled in in a rush perhaps?

Plenty of time to correct since June 2011. My HbA1C would be the first thing I changed if I was 'over the moon'. But, you know I'm a cynic and I'm sure there's 'a perfectly logical explanation' as Spok would say. Still, knowing very little about T1, I have now learned that it can be controlled by diet alone. I hadn't appreciated that.
 
If only it could! Insulin requirements can be kept lower but not eradicated unless the OP knows something I don't :crazy:

Right! I hope it's not Ray Alan up to his old tricks again with Lord Charles.
