[QUOTE="Biggles2, post: 1639170, member: 406880"] Welcome to this site! You will find wonderful support and encouragement here:). Now, in order to help address your query it would be useful for us to know the answers to the following questions: How did you lose the weight? Were you restricting calories or low-carbing? I ask because low carbing (approx. 30grams/day) is what worked for me in terms of dropping my HbA1c. The added benefit of this approach has been that the weight fell off (although it was not my primary goal) and I have maintained my current weight for over 2.5 years. It is not a short-term fix. It is the way I plan to eat for life, and thus far it has been very sustainable for me. My HbA1c is currently 29 and my BMI is currently 20, down from 37. Check out the Low Carb Programme on this site as well as the great information [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] sends all new members:). [/QUOTE]
