[QUOTE="Nickzzz, post: 1043493, member: 223538"] Hi, I was diagnosed in November 2015 with type 2 diabetes - no medication yet just diet controlled. I have found the advice and information on this site invaluable. I started on a low carb diet, which is tricky, but I will hopefully get better at this. Had my three month checkup and I reached most initial targets set by my diabetic nurse and my weight is slowly going down - she tells me to continue doing what I have been and says it is ok for me to do low carbs as long as it is not zero carbs. However had my first training session and low carbs were not even an option. Also where I had changed some foods for example I now use coconut oil - was told this was full of the wrong type of fat and it is better to use olive based spread. Confusing as I have been trying to avoid processed foods. [SIZE=3][U]Nov 2015[/U] Blood Sugar level = 26; HbA1c = 104; Cholesterol = 5; [U]Jan 2016[/U] Blood Sugar level = between 8 and 6; HbA1c = 57; Jan 2016 = 4.5 [ target was 4 - so missed this one] [U]Weight lost[/U] 11kg so far - a struggle, but avoiding future health issues gives one heck of an incentive![/SIZE] [SIZE=4]Hopefully I can keep going with this and get my Blood Sugar levels down further. Thank you[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
