I have been type 2 for approx 15 years and have never really got too hung up about my annual reviews etc. In February I was asked in to discuss my latest HBA1C result which was 97! I got a real wake up call and was determined to make a real difference. Today I got my result after 12 weeks of serious diet control, 48! I have lost 1.5 stone in weight and have reduced my carb intake to virtually zero. No bread, rice, potatoes or pasta but plenty of protein and a reasonable amount of fat, lots of cheese with nuts for snacking. I am posting this in the hope that it will give other people inspiration and understanding that it can be done if you really want to.
 
Very well done! Keep up the good work!
 
What a U-Turn! Great result, well done.
