Diagnosed type 2 2013 with BG 52.
Currently on 1000 mg Metformin a day and 80 mg Atorvastatin per day.

Six weeks into the 8 week blood sugar diet.
Lost 22 lbs from 14 stone 8
Just had blood results.
HbA1c 39.
Cholestoral 3.3
Feeling great! Prior to this diet had been watching fat and sugar not carbs and almost daily exercise with yo-yoing weight. Fully recommend this diet.
 
Well done. My last Hba1c was 63. Going to see if there’s any change for me. Different GP stopped my glimepiride and linagliptin yesterday and put me on 1000mg Metformin daily for a week. Blood test in 3 months.

Wow - that amazing. Had my bloods taken last week and have just come back as HbA1c 39 plus Cholesterol 3.6. Its great when you can achieve these numbers and feel so well. My only issue is that I am much more overweight with you and struggling to find a weight control method that will work.

Hi Sparrow456
Thanks for the support. I was originally 17 stone before diagnosis and managed to get to 14 10 but the couldn’t lose any more and although bloods were under control I still felt guilty whenever I binged.
I came across the 8 week blood sugar diet on Amazon prime and found it a lot easier to follow the recipes abs menu plans rather than have to balance the meals myself.
Obviously the advice is to check with tour GP before embarking on a diet that consists of just 800 calories a day on average.
Good luck
 
Congratulations!!!!

I did the blood sugar thing as well. Now lchf.

May I ask.what your hbalcs were before you started? In the time between diagnosis and the diet? Curious as to what the standard nhs diet advice did to your bgl.
