Low Carb Seems To Be Working

[lozy]

Just another vote for the low carb diet - the first thing that has given me any hope.

Yesterday at my first diabetic review since starting cutting out carbs only a couple of months ago Glimeperide was taken off my list of medications. My HbA1C had dropped from the high fifties to 45 and I had lost over a stone in weight. I didn't really follow a diet - I'm not a lover of studying everything I eat and counting carbs or calories or anything else - that would take most of the pleasure out of eating. I simply cut out bread, rice potatoes and pasta. This was no hardship at all.

The aim is eventually to come off medication altogether if possible. For the moment, I'm happy.

Cheers,

Well done. You have found an eating plan that works for you and one you can hopefully sustain. Keep up the good work!

Smashing work! Isn't it great that such small changes can have such a big impact? Keep up the good work.

Well done great to see results from simply cutting out the obvious suspects. We are all individual in how many carbs we need to cut to get good results I’m pleased you’ve found a way that works for you. Moving all in right direction

That's all I did really.
