[QUOTE="gardengnome42, post: 1602068, member: 114214"] Hi Grateful, I see that you were only diagnosed this February and have managed to reduce the HbA1c to prediabetic levels in the 9 months since then. Well done you! Obviously with no meds you have done it by diet, did you do low carb? You sound as though you had the same reaction at diagnosis to me [shock horror] yet your Hba1c was 8.9. That's high I think? Was the test given as routine for something else or did you have a problem? And how was the bad news broken to you? My grandmother had diabetes but only when she was in her 70's, which is where I am at, and as she had osteoarthritis was unable to walk far, it eventually made her bedridden with dreadful ulcers and she died of a stroke at 90. I have OA too and am 75. I do wonder how long my glucose nos. may have been rising on the quiet before I had that NHS health check. that revealed hypertension 5 years ago. [/QUOTE]
