[QUOTE="MoonUnit, post: 2427440, member: 524782"] I felt every word of the original post - it’s almost exactly the same as my situation. Up until 4 weeks ago that is. I was diagnosed 2 years ago too and buried my head in the sand. My very high HBA1C didn’t frighten me enough to fight my food addiction. Every day was a never ending cycle of carb laden meals and snacks - particularly on a weekend. No matter how many times I tried, the cravings won and I caved. Around 12 weeks ago I started getting similar sensations in my lower legs and feet, which set my anxiety and depression of further as the realisation that I may have neuropathy kicked in. Around 4 weeks ago, I began getting dizzy spells. This was the kickstart I needed. I’ve made significant changes as follows: *16/8 intermittent fasting *two meals a day, no snacks *water only *less than 40g of carbs a day (tracked on MyFitnessPal) *blood glucose checked every morning and before/after meals and logged on DiaConnect *take a multivitamin, magnesium and ALA supplements Given my past issues with food, I’m shocked at how easy I’ve found this to stick to. My cravings have gone, my binges are under control and my appetite and portions are much much better! The dizziness has gone and my legs/feet feel much better and are improving daily! As for blood sugar, the DiaConnect app has been a god send! It gives statistics and graphs which are motivating and it’s really user friendly. Would thoroughly recommend. My next HBA1C is not due until October. It was 103 in April, and my last reading was around 2 weeks into my new regime so isn’t accurate (although it had come down to 90!). I don’t take any meds and my exercise regime is currently non-existent. But I’m a work in progress and have set myself a goal to have my HBA1C under 50 by 2022. The app currently suggests my HBA1C is around 74. My advice is - Don’t give up on yourself, you can do it! Once you’ve done the first day of Keto/Low Carb you’ll be on a roll! I can sympathise with how hard this is, I really can. My motivation is keeping my health and nipping any damage/issues in the bud now! Good luck and keep us posted! [/QUOTE]
