It will heal quicker because of your sugar levels, and you probably had enough energy to cause it in the first place! Always look on the bright side.:)
And superb hba1c results!:couchpotato:
(I'm a on a tablet so no idea what these emoji are...!!!)
Thanks, but it was my own fault, playing football. Two months is a bit much IMO and I need to have a word with my tendons.

Update: two years since my initial "normal" HbA1c. Current situation is HbA1c reading steady at 37; another 5kg vanished; BP at 125/80 - so that'll do. Unfortunately low-carb seems to have no effect on a torn achilles....
I struggled with a similar problem for a long time until I found a sympathetic physio. Six sessions of ultrasound treatment did the trick, the inflammation subsided and the tendon healed. Good luck with your recovery!

I was (finally) diagnosed on 9 December 2019, so I've reached the four year point - although I've probably been diabetic for at least thirteen years.

~20g carb/day for four years (sustainable, I think), no symptoms to speak of, and all HbA1cs low-normal since (and including) the one in April 2020.

I’m posting here as I feel like a dog with two tails!
A1C test results today show I’m no longer pre diabetic
I think for me it’s very much still work in progress, I’ve a little weight to go to be happy. I’ll be happier if everything is still on track in another 6 months.

Really well done! a bang normal HbA1c!

It only seems like yesterday that you were making your first steps toward this, but we all know it takes a lot of willpower and determination. Top result.

Thanks Kenny,
Yes I arrived on places like this only a few months ago like a dear in the headlights.
This place helped no end , great advice and then it all falls into place.
Yes of course we all need willpower and determination but far better than the possible alternate future.

Cheers guys ( ****** I’m tea-total presently )
