Message: <blockquote data-quote="jonathan183" data-source="post: 2461581" data-attributes="member: 491092">Calorie restricted diets can work short term, a low carbohydrate diet can be used both short and long term. You have been consuming more carbohydrates than your body can cope with so you will need to maintain carbohydrates below that threshold if you want to put and keep diabetes in remission. If you return to eating the things you did before the problems will return <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />I suggest after you finish the calorie restricted diet you are currently on you switch straight to a low carbohydrate diet. Carbs are addictive and people can struggle to drop them ... and keep away from them. Try to avoid refined carbs and sugar sweetened drinks.Having a blood glucose meter will help you work out which foods you can tolerate and which you should avoid in future.The HbA1c gives a sort of average blood glucose over the last 3 months but more recent blood glucose has a greater impact. Although they are typically done between 3 and 12 months apart that does not need to apply at initial diagnosis. Think of the next HbA1c as early feedback on how you are getting on <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Keep up the good work and hope you get the other health issues sorted soon</blockquote>
