[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 1266823, member: 209498"] Hi [USER=258745]@Priam[/USER]. My experience is much the same as yours. I reduced my HbA1c and weight by a spartan diet, lchf and exercise after being diagnosed T2. My HbA1c at my 12 month test was 39 too. I now eat more 'normally' including some starchy carbs but not as much as I would have eaten before. I test every morning and my fbgs are around 6-6.5 usually. I think that is ok, if they started going up I would adjust my carb intake. I could probably get a lower HbA1c if I ate less carbs but I think 39 is ok. I don't exercise so much now. In my efforts to lower my bs I had been walking 25-40,000 steps most days. Now I walk 15-20,000 steps most days. My weight has stabilised at around 140 lbs, after having lost about 33 lbs. I would like to be below 140 lbs (10 stone) if I can more for psychological reasons than anything. But I am aware that I need to be careful and continue to exercise and be aware of what I eat, and monitor my bs levels. I know it it would be easy to slip back into diabetic levels again. [/QUOTE]
