Thanks, great achievement!About 7 to 10 yrs... can't remember when I started, minimum of 7 years.
I hope that doesn't sound like a prison sentence. I am talking about the diet just to be clear.
If you eating 'normally' you mean they eat lots of processed foods stuffed with sugar and promoted by big food companies with no interest other than their bottom line,, then let them eat cake!Thankyou everyone, amazing achievements, encouraging to know this can be managed in the longer term. There are days when I find it really hard especially when everyone around me eats 'normally'. Every little story is an inspiration and keeps me on track
How many of you have managed this long term with out needing medication?
Very true! I'm sure I'll get a bit better at finding a wider range recipes as time goes on. Well done on getting your family onboard!If you eating 'normally' you mean they eat lots of processed foods stuffed with sugar and promoted by big food companies with no interest other than their bottom line,, then let them eat cake!
Seriously though, I went through the envious stage. Now I'm finding a wider variety of recipes that keep me in range but tasty and full too. More and more my family are joining me in eating low carb, we will become the norm!
Impressive results, hope I can keep it up that long. What foods were you referring to when you said moderate carbs that you grew up on? Really interesting!Seven years at the end of November with a diagnosis of 61-62. Reduced to 47 by Feb 2014 simply by immediately cutting all obvious carbs, and down to 40 by that summer by eating a "proper" LCHF/ketogenic diet and using a meter. I've remained at low pre-diabetic/high end of normal level since then apart from a few blips due to other health issues. On metformin for first three years, then GP finally declared I no longer needed it.
What I eat now is much closer to the normal fat, moderate carb food I was brought up on and it's definitely sustainable long term and I much prefer it. (All I basically had to do was cut out those unnecessary carbs again...)
Bit late to this party but around 4 years for me. Wouldn’t / couldn’t do it any other way nowI am fairly new to all this LCHF diet and it has proved excellent for my numbers without having to start medication yet. Diagnosed type 2 this year, 54 to 40 hba1c in 3-4 months. How many of you have managed this long term with out needing medication? Thank-you!
