[QUOTE="crafteclaire, post: 25358, member: 11231"] [b]Re: Success stories[/b] Hi everyone. I now have my latest HbA1c results so am posting my success story on this thread. I have been a very naughty girl for a good few months, not looking after myself and saying 'sod it, I'll eat what I want. Nothing I do helps anyway'. That was, of course, until I found your forum and discovered the consensus of opinion on low carbing. From 3rd September - yes, just 3 weeks ago - I have stuck to a very low carb diet (daily average intake 47g carbs, excluding the bits you get in veggies) and been working out at the gym. HbA1c was 8.2 about 7 months ago, and for 6 months after that I've been ignoring the IDDM and living in denial. 3 weeks after starting the new plan, I just got my latest results ..... 7.6 !!!!! ok, now I hear you all saying that isn't a massive improvement, but to me it's tremendous. I've also lost half a stone in the last 3 weeks and reduced my body fat % from 31.8% down to 28.4%. This new result has really spurred me on to strive for something in the 5%s next time! I'm at the hospital tomorrow morning, where I will get the rest of my results, but unfortunately do not have and previous results to compare them with. I'm sure, however, that the results alone will give a good idea of the state of my body now and I'm going to request a form to repeat all the blood tests again in 3 months time. Thanks to everyone who has put up with my incessant questions and moaning over the past few weeks - you're all an inspiration! I'll post the rest of the results on here tomorrow when I get them. Right - swim time now - see y'all soon!! :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
