Latest Results - the good and the not so good

[Chunters]

My clinic appointment to pick up my results was cancelled on the morning of the appointment so I got a print out but have not discussed them with my DN.

The good - my HbA1C is down from 69 to 52

I can't work out much about my Cholesterol from the numbers given (have a thread on this in Ask a Question) and I don't have a baseline so going to wait until I can get another appointment to discuss.

I have Stage 2 Chronic Kidney Disease - this was no surprise to me as I have had kidney infections quite a lot over my adult life despite being alcohol free for the last 16 years. Quick Google suggested Stage 2 is a 'watching brief' situation.

Weight - a bit of a confused situation as I had started to lose weight from February this year before my diabetes diagnosis and I'm not sure where I started I usually 'top out ' at 11st 4lbs but I'm not sure I was that high in February. But as of today I'm 9st 5lbs and very close to being out of the overweight BMI (I'm only 5 ft so this loss has seen me move down a couple of dress sizes- yay!)

So overall I'm happy I've found the LCHF way of life sooooo easy to stick to and doing my monitoring had given me a good indication that my HbA1C would be lower!

Well Done @Chunters! Great HbA1c and weight reductions, keep up the good work! LCHF is obviously working for you.

All going in the right direction and in danger of disappearing at 9st. 5lbs. Well done though.
