Hi everyone,
I thought I would share my news ...
Diagnosed T2 3rd June with BS of 86 and Cholesterol of 6.8. I was devastated. Told to take Gliclazide but said I would do diet first so have just focused on diet, exercise, stress level reduction etc.
I had to have more bloods done yesterday for Thyroid, Kidney function etc. I was cheeky and asked for the BS and Cholesterol to be checked too - even though I know it is a 'proper' reading after 12 weeks. They agreed.
Got my results today:
BS now 60 which I know is still too high but 6 weeks to go before my retest.
Cholesterol 5.6.
I am happy.
BMI done from 26.5 to 24. Doing Low carb diet. Weight coming of nicely without much effort and without feeling hungry. Feeling better than ever - tummy shrinking and now getting fasting readings of 5.5 in the morning.
I am feeling hopeful.
