Hi, I'm new to this site. I first became diabetic following a covid infection; having said that I think I'd been sailing close to the wind for several years. On first being diagnosed, I decided to try to avoid medication and tried the Michael Mosley Fast 800 (more like 900) and after three months was into pre-diabetes.
Sadly, exit from the wagon began gradually, and I'm diabetic again with an Hb score of 52. Again, don't think this has been helped by a second recent covid infection.
Has anyone had more than one try at getting into remission ? I'd be so pleased to know. I really want to commit to a 'normal' Hb score this time, but feel a bit anxious that I may have scuppered my chances by falling off the plan.
My GP has offered the 12-week meal replacement programme. An added incentive for me is that it comes with an apparently high level of morale support/coaching. Has anybody had a good experience on this programme, please ? I'm still desperate to avoid medication.
I've read accounts of people getting down to normal without much in the way of exercise. I notice that if I exercise too much at the moment (particularly if it's near a mealtime) I actually get what feels like a 'hypo'. This makes me think that I should follow my instincts and exercise little and often. Does anyone have any experience of exercise helping them, please ?
I think I need to lose about 3 stone. I'm feeling daunted. Any help very gratefully accepted.
Thank you.
