Hi been T2 for 8 years had HbA1c done last November result 8.9 not the best lol had been ignoring the fact I had diabetes then found this forum followed the advice given by members. started a fairly low carb diet and paid attention to what I was eating and now a stone lighter and with a new HbA1c test result of 6.7 well pleased may pop into the polar bear to meet the regulars maybe buy a round lol
