Type 2 Is this a good result?

[Sugarmouse 21]

Hi I was diagnosed as type 2 in early January (HBA1C 62) after a horrendous experience with the metformin i stopped taking them & I have been trying to deal with things with diet & exercise alone, I have a blood tester which has been helping with what I can & cant eat & im getting on ok with the LCHF way of eating & I have lost a stone in weight so far (I am now in the healthy BMI range for my height).

I have been back to the Drs this week for a follow up 3mth blood test & my new HBA1C result is 54, I was initially feeling quite pleased with myself but is this actually a good result? Sorry but this is all still very new to me so still trying to understand things & want to know if I am on the right track going forward?

Any advice would be appreciated!

I think you need to give yourself a pat on the back. Your numbers have gone down in a relatively short time. You have more work to do to be sure, but whatever your doing is working so congratulations! I would recommend the app mySugr for monitoring your progress, I find it highly motivating.
