[QUOTE="SouthCoastBoy, post: 2147628, member: 514078"] So, as an update, I had my appointment with the DN this morning. I was pretty nervous about what would happen, and where we go from here. Anyway, long story short, I'm 6kg down in the last month thanks to the keto/low carb stuff. My random glucose was 5.4, and tests on feet, kidneys etc. were all OK. No meds, redo the A1C in December. So I'm starting to feel a whole lot better about myself! Gotta go for an eye scan and a Desmond course, so just soaking it all up and committing to the process. Weirdly, I feel quite a bit better about myself generally than I have done for a long while, losing weight is making me feel good, and I feel I have a new insight into how lifestyle affects your body. I'm starting to put a lot less shame on myself, and more on the rubbish way that an office job and career causes you to eat and drink badly, stress unnecessarily and generally not move much unless you're exercising. And that this has consequences long term. Spent ages reading the threads on here, thanks to everyone who has shared their thoughts, it has got this newbie in a whole better place. I know this is only the start, but feel more encouraged than I did a month or so ago. [/QUOTE]
