Well done you. Encouraging for the newbies. XHi. I am a 63 yr old female and I was diagnosed T2 in June 2017, following some random high glucose readings during breast cancer treatment. Initially it was thought this was a result of some medications I was taking, but after clearing those from my system and re-testing fasting bg, the diagnosis was confirmed. I am not on insulin or other medication for diabetes and am trying to control bg through diet. I bought a glucose monitor myself and started testing what food was doing to me. It soon became clear that cutting carbs had the most effect in reducing the readings. So began my journey of radically altering my diet. Before cancer treatment, back in February 2017, I weighed 17st 3lb (109.3kg), I started losing some weight during treatment but since T2 diagnosis my motivation ramped up and I am now 12st 4lb (78kg)! Apparently my HbA1c back in August 2017 was 48, my latest reading 39. I am still on a learning curve with diet, and finding lots of help and ideas on this forum, which I have been reading for some time, but posted for the first time today. I also joined the Low Carb Plan a few days ago.
I realise this is a lifestyle change for the long term and appreciate the value of a forum like this for information and encouragement. I have been attending a 'move more' exercise programme for cancer rehab for the last 6 months, which comes to an end in the next couple of weeks, but I am putting in place a plan to continue exercise in the local gym and leisure centres. When I first went to the exercise classes I had to sit down for most exercises and could barely make it from one circuit station to the next! Side effects of chemo, such as neuropathy, fatigue and joint pain, together with achilles tendinopathy which has been ongoing for some time, mean that I have physical limitations, but exercise has made a huge difference. So I know that the way forward for me is low carb and exercise to maintain and improve the health and mobility I have. The weight loss is a huge help on all fronts! My blood sugar on waking this morning was 4.8, I have spiked up to 16.6 on one occasion when I succumbed to chocolate temptation, other spikes up to about 12, but diabetic nurse was happy with my graphs staying largely in or around normal range in between the spikes! I guess it takes a while to fine tune diet!
