[QUOTE="xyzzy, post: 266544, member: 40343"] Ok here's my success story. I was diagnosed pre diabetic in Dec 2010 and advised to swap to the normal NHS dietary guidelines as a means of getting healthier. By March 2011 by HBA1c had risen to 8.3% and by December 2011 it had risen further to 11.3%. I then found this site with all its wonderful low carb and self testing advice. In April 2012 just 4 months later and after following a lower carb high fat diet similar to that recommended by many forum members and other countries health services I had reduced my HBA1c back to 5.3% (35 mmol/mol), lost just under 20kg so that my BMI is now in the normal weight range. My blood sugar levels started out the 20's but nowadays run in the range of around 4 to 6.5 meaning they have been normalised back to those of an average non diabetic. I am not cured as I will have to continue being careful what I eat. All the best! [/QUOTE]
