What a feeling!! Itching to do my home test again from 3 weeks ago when it was 42. I've been very good in sticking to the LCHF apart from a family wedding in Dublin on paddy's day (although I did manage to resist the creme brule dessert!) A meal out with the girls back home (they picked a local Chinese this time so I selected stir fry but it was dripping in sauce) and a couple of weak moments. I was hoping it would not have gone up or had stayed the same but when it had gone down 5 notches I could have cried!!! Tears of joy of course. My weight is down from 14 stone 3 lbs (over 90 kgs) to 11 stone 8lbs (73.4kg). My bmi is 23.9 (normal). I'm a female height 5ft 9.5. I haven't found it hard which surprised me as I'm weak willed. My diet has been streamlined but I wanted to do this. To get my hba1c right down. Not my just for myself but to show the DN how it can be done and without meds. She wanted to put me straight on metformin. I don't want to go on meds and asked her to bear with me for 3 months. *** i have it in remission if I get another 2 similar results. That makes me feel that I have achieved something quite miraculous. I owe this great achievement to two things. One my amazing mother who sadly passed away 11 years ago. She was type 2 and I saw how it effected her (she wasn't good with it and I think had we known about this forum things would have been so different). And secondly to the amazing people on this forum who tirelessly help others find their way in the dark!!! Without your help I would still be trying to find a way out of the dark tunnel. Thankfully you all helped me to see the light and I can't thank you all enough ❤❤❤ I've celebrated tonight with 2 large glasses of red and a meat but no pitta bread kebab. A few bits afterwards too like cheese and biscuits and some nuts. Happy days.
