[QUOTE="Higaomo, post: 2479474, member: 549737"] Was diagnosed in October with an HbA1c of 94. Immediately put on Metformin and told to cut out carbs as much as possible. I stuck to this strictly and have had a pretty miserable last 3 months, but stayed focused on the 3 month review. Had my 3 month blood test on Monday and the diabetes nurse rang me yesterday morning to tell me that my HbA1c is now 34! So the last 3 miserable months appear to have been worth it... She’s halved the dosage of Metformin and said I can start reintroducing a small amount of complex carbs in my diet (not every meal and not every day) and she’ll check it again in 8 weeks. I’m fully aware of how easy it would be to go mad and undo all the hard work, so I will be cautious, but I’m very happy with the 34! I’ve also lost another 30lb (50lb in total) and am now a ‘healthy’ BMI for the first time since about 1994. [/QUOTE]
