[QUOTE="MrTickle, post: 1864727, member: 469384"] As some may recall, a clinic visit (for something else) showed up an HbA1C score of 55 early this year and I was advised to go to the GP to get a formal T2D diagnosis but instead I decided to follow low-carb and see if I can address the issue through diet first. Since Feb. I have followed LCHF although there have been occasional cheats along the way, although for me thats the only way I can realistically maintain this as a lifestyle. As long as any cheat is followed by a few days of very low carb, I've found it all pretty manageable. Anyway, since Feb, I have lost circa 4 stone and just had the results from a follow up clinic visit, and my HbA1C is now down to 35 which my doctor classifies as 'normal'. My doc was amazed at the result and mused - as we all have - as to why this approach isn't more widely pushed by the NHS. Anyway, just been abroad for a week where I wasn't easily able to follow low carb (although did visit the Keto cafe in Berlin, which I would heartily recommend for anyone going there - their pizza was fantastic!), but back now and on the low carb train again.... Thanks to all on this forum for the vital information which has allowed me to navigate the sometimes counter-intuitive world of LCHF, and I hope that I will be able to maintain the diet and the good numbers in my next set of bloods, which will be early 2019 [/QUOTE]
