[QUOTE="KatMac1, post: 2486312, member: 551362"] I was more overweight before diagnosis. The diabetes made me lose more than 20 kg over the course of about 1 year. I appreciate that you followed guidance on what to eat and maintained a healthy weight. I was a healthy weight at some points, but I had a maximum BMI of about 35 at one point. So I have more blame here. I appreciate a lot of people enjoy the foods on a low carb diet. Sadly, that's not really the case for me. I've just never really enjoyed 'fatty' foods, so whilst they're a treat for some, they're just tolerable for me. They took the blood for the c-peptide level at the hospital when they decided I was type 1, before I was on insulin etc. My HbA1c on diagnosis was 103 i.e. average blood sugar of 16. Hence the higher blood sugar levels when the c-peptide was done. When I started insulin, my sugars came down over the course of a week or so, and after a couple more weeks, my sugars were averaging in the 6's, hence the considerably lower predicted HbA1c. Sorry for any confusion! [/QUOTE]
