[QUOTE="TooManyCrisps, post: 1799083, member: 244689"] Hello Vickio I was diagnosed after a routine "well woman" test with an HBA1C of 97, but didn't have any symptoms. I had had Gestational Diabetes several years previously I refused to take Metformin and agreed with my GP that I would try to reduce it through lifestyle changes. I upped my exercise and switched to a low carb diet. Within a few months my HBA1C had halved and a year after diagnosis it was 37. That was over a year ago and I've managed to maintain my HBA1C at around 40 ever since. I still don't take any medication for my diabetes, and I don't intend to. Have a chat with your Diabetic Nurse or GP. Mine was very supportive of me wanting to do it myself. [/QUOTE]
